bread in the freezer is okay because once you toast it it refreshes it. but bread in the fridge is always stale tasting.

out here in the UK you can buy a half loaf of bread. i think it’s very clever. now if only they could learn about dentists and tooth care.

OK, but here’s the problem with that… there is no way I can eat an entire loaf of bread before it goes moldy on the counter. None.

I’m a big fan of bread in the freezer, then you take out a piece when you need it. 😀

whatever. anything that can grow mold on it goes in the fridge (except bread because you shouldn’t keep bread for more than a week anyway [and if you put bread in the fridge it makes it go stale])

There's a Heinz food processing plant in my Canadian hometown . I used to work there during busy-season when I was a teen-ager . My mother worked there and retired from the Heinz office after 30 yrs. So , we KNOW ketchup . To this day , the word , 'Refrigerate ' , is found NOWHERE on their labels ! THAT is what I am talking about!

Curse you! Do not refrigerate the good stuff! Crazy girl. The Brits must be getting to you. 😛

Also, that link had me rolling, LOL. Particularly this little gem…”I keep my Ketchup in the fridge because it likes to be near my Mustard.”

ketchup should go in the fridge. anything with a fruit/veggie should go in the fridge. i know that canning and preserving is a means to keep food longer, but once opened, air and bacteria can get in and start to grow. certain foods can hold off longer against the bacteria, but as a general rule, any food made of a previously perishable food item, should be refrigerated. i know some places that serve ketchup, mustard, relish etc don’t keep them cool, but the fact that the turnover on those items is so quick it’s kind of okay. but in homes, where you aren’t going to go through a tub of ketchup in a 8 hours, i’d fridge it.

so there.

oh, and here. to add to your debate. it’s kinda funny to read…
