Damn straight. But you forgot the "o."

Hot and spicy on a ham and swiss with balsamic vinegar and cold pressed peanut oil...

Ketchup... room temperature, but my wife won't go for that. So I have my ketchup refrigerated.

Mustard...I think I've always had my mustard cold.

Sometimes I'll order some Weber's mustard and have it shipped to me because it's so damn good.

Back on peanut butter. Why are PB jars designed as they are? When the jar gets low, it's a royal pain to dig down deep with a knife, and you inevitably wind up getting some on your wrist or whatnot... Why not have PB containers be bowl-shaped instead - shorter and fatter rather than tall and skinny as they are now? Plus, that would make it easier to dip an apple slice right in the PB...

My wife used to refrigerate the PB, but I think I've broken her of that. Don't see any reason to and it just gets the stuff hard. Plus, we forget it's even in there.

I think I've about convinced her that crackers and croutons don't need to be in the fridge either.

I go toa sports bar that typically didn't refrigerate their ketchup. One time I opened the bottle and it made a sound like cracking open a beer - PSSSSSSHHHHHT! The ketchup had spoiled. I think refrigerating the ketchup would probably have prevented that.

Actually, I can see the value in that. Admittedly, though, I keep bread and tortillas in my freezer - it's the only way those items don't go bad on me before I finish them...

(Grocery shopping for one person kind of sucks...)

Yesterday, actually, I went to the store to get some corn tortillas. For just me. They had a package of 36 for $1.59 - clearly I don't need 36 tortillas, and they will clearly go bad or freezer burned before I even come close to finishing those. So I then was going to get the pack of 10, until I saw the price on those suckers - $1.99. Huh? 36 tortillas it was.

Freezer, meet tortillas - be nice to each other...

I caught my wife putting the PB in the fridge once.

Once...

Follow directions. If the container says "refigerate after opening", then you better believe that there's a f'n good reason to do so. If it don't say that, then it's your choice.

Peanut Butter: For those of us that choose to eat healthier with natural PB (the kind you have to stir before using), yes, it's kept better refrigerated. Fake PB like Jif is non-biodegradable so you can shelf it, like forever.

Mayo is a dairy product. You keep it out for any length of time and then use it, you will die.

The Hellmann's Mayonnaise ingredients label shows that it contains the following ingredients, which are listed in the quantity order in which they occur:

Soybean oil, whole eggs, vinegar, water, egg yolks, salt, sugar, lemon juice, natural flavors, calcium disodium EDTA (used to protect quality).

Depends on your definition of "dairy" I suppose. But I'd beware the egg part, yeah.

bryce · 02-12-2007, 08:37 PM

How can mayo be so disgusting but ranch be so delicious? Don't they have essentially the same ingredients?

cuervo72 · 02-12-2007, 08:54 PM

Mayo? Disgusting? That's crazy talk. Everything is better with mayo (or Miracle Whip).

Buccaneer · 02-12-2007, 09:00 PM

Somehow, I group as being a dairy product. It's in the dairy case at the store, right? Eggs, like milk and butter, is something you don't want to keep out.

cartman · 02-12-2007, 09:01 PM

I can't stand either ranch or mayo. Come to think of it, I can't stand any condiments. My hamburgers I always order dry, with only lettuce, pickles and onions. At home, the only condiment I put on burgers is either A1 sauce or picante sauce.

Actually, the US is about the only country in the world that refrigerates eggs. In just about every other country I've been to, the eggs aren't sold refrigerated. Not sure why the practice of refrigerating eggs seems to be mainly a US phenomenon.

This thread is hilarious, but I digress.

The first argument of my marriage was whether to refrigerate ketchup. She wanted to, I didn't. I WAS CONTROLLING HER LIFE! MOM'S KETCHUP WAS ALWAYS REFRIGERATED! Dear god, you'd think I'd asked her to eat mushrooms on her steak or something.

Anyway, we worked it out.

*we've refrigerated ours for 17 years*
