Do you keep your ketchup in the fridge?

[Dogstile]

This thread has been done.

OT:Yes

Awesome, cool. Thanks for that. I'll now read the more awesome comments.

Seriously, its like you people expect me to necro a thread or something.

No. My ketchup lives in the cupboard. Wait, is cupbiard the right word? Pantry? Damn, it escapes my mind at the moment. Please pretend that I am using the correct word.

Cupboard if its like a... lets go with wall shelf with a door in the kitchen. Pantry if its a food place you walk into.

*looks in fridge* Yup.

I think this brand requires refrigerating so that might be why its in there.

You actually got up to look in your fridge? Well damn, I applaud you, I didn't think anyone actually would check if they weren't sure

I always keep it in the fridge, I love nuking my hotdogs til they're to hot to eat and smothering them in cool ketchup so you don't burn your tongue. That can be applied to any hot food.

Ahh, this makes sense! I never thought about it like that, I like hot food you see.

Eww! >.<

I can't stand it either.
Because in restaurants you don't get cold ketchup but at peoples homes you usually get it X(

Anyway, anyone have that green ketchup that was around?
Tasted the exact same but was bright green

That normally gets served at halloween, i thought it tasted like playdoh

 

[Dango]

Of course, I always preferred cold ketchup.

My bottle tends to have "REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING" printed on the label. It's not restaurant ketchup, which I assume has a different formula, so I follow the prescribed directions.

Restaurant ketchup is mathmatically diffrent, so is the food, the drinks, the people, and most importantly, the numbers on the check. This is the concept that drives the bistro-matic.


Anyways to the OP yeah i keep the ketchup in my fridge and i put it on a lot of stuff, like mashed potatoes, and breaded chicken as well as regular chicken.

 

[Jark212]

Yes, I like my ketchup to have an extended shelf-life...

 

[aww yea]

why yes! now that you mention it yes i do.

here's a question: Can you freeze ketchup? And would the result ice lolly be deliciously mild tomatoey goodness or an injustice to humatiy?

but mainly can you actually freeze ketchup?

very good then

It really isn't. The Heinz (any other brand is blasphemy) website says that ketchup doesn't have to be refrigerated and won't spoil because of how acidic it is. They say it might change colors after something like 6 months, maybe.

Oddly enough this is a repeat thread. The other thread came to the conclusions that ketchup need not be refrigerated and the suggestion is there to make it seem less processed. Also mayo doesn't have to be refrigerated. Personally, I refrigerate both.

 

[Mistermixmaster]

yeah, it's SUPPOSED to be in the fridge. What? I ENJOY my ketchup cold damnit!

Fun story, I once ate too much ketchup and it gave me a rash at my feet... strange, huh?

 

[FamoFunk]

NO!! I fucking hate it when it's been in the god damn fridge. My other half ALWAYS does it, I want to punch him in the face!

I know its not really diffrent, i was making a referance. lol

I hate ketchup so I'll use mustard as my example.

If it don't say refrigerate, keep it on the shelf. I don't need my sandwich to be chilled. Most of my condiments can be found on the shelf.

Ketchup in the cupboard, salsa in the fridge. Proper tomatoes need to be chilled.

Cupboard it is, then.

 

[InnerRebellion]

That's where ketchup belongs! Nice and cold with hot french fries. Yum.

 

[Numachuka]

Yes, there are people that don't? ._.

OT: I keep mine in the fridge because it says so.

 

[DarkRyter]

No, I keep it in packets in a box on my desk with variety of other condiment packets.

Who the fuck wants cold ketchup?

 

[DeadEy3]

Well i keep it on top of the fridge, so no.

 

[Ensiferum]

I do, and this is the first I've ever heard of someone not refrigerating it.

I do the same with mustard, relish, mayo, etc.

Ahh whops, thanks

 

[T-Bone24]

Fridge'd ketchup tastes weird. I keep my ketchup on the table for quick access, thank you very much.
