Condiments, Sauces, and Storage

[Joe Blog]

One day we will all unite and realise we all do something the same way, but it is not this day and our mayo storing, toilet seating, biscuit holding, arse wiping will always be the barrier that prevents us from forming the most utopian forum in the world.

My youngest dipped his chocolate buttons in mayo today, I will have introduce him to the forum when he's older

We probably need a separate thread for where condiments should reside once opened., however, I'm firmly in the camp of putting everything aside from Brown sauce in the fridge. 

Mayo in the cupboard? Sinister.

My youngest used to get into the fridge and just eat handfuls of mayonnaise out the jar.

Even thinking about it makes me heave.

The vessel inexplicably plays a part in our household.  Squeezy bottles live in the cupboard whether open or not, but jars (even if they're the exact same product, like mayo) live in the fridge once opened.  I'm not really a sauce person (though I so like to make Bisto purely to have it cold on sandwiches the next day) so it makes no difference to me, but the other half is super strict about it.

Gravy isn't a sauce? Or is it? 

Fuck this place ?

Gravy is the very definition of a sauce, surely!?  Moreso than mayo I'd argue!

I can't lie, the last couple of pages have been hard to read. Some absolute animals on this board.

It surprises me that it's taken the last couple of pages for you to realise that.

Did they do it with relish?

 

 

 

 

 

Or were they embarrassed by it?

That is some gentle comedy mate

The simple rule is "is it in a fridge when you buy it?". If it's in a refrigerated bit of the supermarket, it goes in the fridge when it gets home. If it's not, it goes in a cupboard or on a shelf.

My girlfriend tends to put anything in a jar in the fridge once it's opened, even pickles and jams and things, which I've never seen a need for, but it's not a fight I'm going to have, as it doesn't usually affect the flavour or anything. But I'm not keen on having jam out of the fridge.

I've always put mayo in the fridge. It just taste better to me chilled. As it has raw egg which is not longer in its protective shell I would assume it goes off fairly quickly in heat. It's probably alright in a dry cupboard but its not what I'm going to do. 

Anything with a vinegar base like Ketchup should be fine out of the fridge. Strangely I keep my mustard in the fridge. I have no real explanation for that one. 

Jams and sugar based things where the container is difficult to wipe go in the fridge but that's because the ants are an absolute bugger with the slightest bit of sweetness.

It states refrigerate when opened you illiterate heathens.

I'm struggling to think of any sauces that are in refrigerated parts of a supermarket.
