in eternum+ 22 Posted March 30, 2006 What's in your fridge? Rather depressingly, I don't own a fridge. When I first moved to England and got my own flat (rented, of course), I bought a fridge. I was VERY proud of my fridge as I strongly felt that the purchase of such a large 'white' appliance represented "living somewhere", "being home", "being settled", whatever. And I lived there for three years - quite "settled" for me. Of course, then I moved and had to sell the fridge (and most of my other stuff as well). Now, back in the life of a nomad, grown-upism (aka the owning of things such as refridgerators and the like) continues to elude me. I could tell you what's in my mum's fridge, but it's not really all that interesting. I shall live vicariously through your fridges... BTW: a strangely interesting topic, this. A whiff of show me your fridge and I tell you who you are. Oh dear. I wonder what that says about me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lady Die 63 Posted March 30, 2006 What's in your fridge? I have TWO fridges ... one of them in the garage. They contain wine, cheese, salad, flavoured mineral water, lemonade, pickles, mayo, various veggies & salad, tofu, matteson sausage, butter, olive spread, salad dressing, tomato puree, lard, yoghurt & eggs. Anyone fancy coming round to my house for a meal? PS Bou, I think your are being very sensible about what your daughter eats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone fancy coming round to my house for a meal? PS Bou, I think your are being very sensible about what your daughter eats! Yeah LD, we run a two-fridge strategy too. We put all the good stuff in the garage fridge because the Godettes are too bone idle to make the journey. Then there's the freezers. I'm dead against feezers. Mrs Godot seems more interested in buying stuff for the freezer than for any of us. That's because she runs a two-fridge, two-freezer strategy where the "best of all" stuff goes in the garage freezer. Since we are all too idle or in too much of a hurry to thaw stuff from the far freezer that stuff NEVER gets eaten. So the very best stuff we get sits in a freezer for about five years then gets chucked out when it's no longer fit to eat. In Eternum, stick to your no fridge lifestyle, it really is the best.

Brinsworth House Baiter 12 Posted March 30, 2006 Does anyone know of a website where you can tap in the contents of your fridge, click and it comes up with a recipe? I ask this because I am expected to make a meal sometime over the next few hours and all I have to work with is a cabbage, a sprig of broccoli, an onion & some tomatoes as someone forget to get anything out of the freezer last night...me apparently, so my othewr half has proportioned the blame. So come on fellow DListers, help and save me from having to get the car out and dash to Tescos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brinsworth House Baiter 12 Posted March 30, 2006 Yes, I do and that sounds like a good enough option for me, failing all else. Many thanks, Bald Rick. I must give her some money to go shopping tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,399 Posted March 30, 2006 What exactly do you do with fermented prawn paste??? And more importantly does it get you drunk? Trassi. It smells worse than Marmite, but is a fundamental ingredient in several Indonesian dishes. And no, it doesn't get you drunk. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLC 9 Posted March 30, 2006 My fridge contains the following: - 3 cans of lager 1 large tub of some sort of pun-based butter-like spread i.e. 'You'd butter believe it', 'Sh*t, it's not butter!', 'Not Butter? F**k Off!' or something... Bread, mostly not mouldy Mayonnaise Large slab of cheddar 6 pints of semi-skimmed milk 1 spanish onion Traffic light set of peppers 8 sausages 6 slices of fat with bacon bits attached Lots of space Sweet based snacks only make guest appearances due to smoking habit making it impossible to leave them for more than 2 hours after shopping trip.... Freezer & cupboard equally well equipped with, erm, tins of things in tomato sauce, soup, tuna, smooth peanut butter, twisty pasta (Fusilli I think), fish fingers and microwave meals. You'd think I don't have a love of a variety of food, but I will in fact eat almost anything. I just hate taking more than 10 mins preparing it, for me all of the joy is in the eating. On the rare occasion I get press-ganged into cooking I'm not too bad at it as far as I can recall. I guess the most apt words to describe me & my list are 'Basic', 'Lazy' and in particular 'Single'. Without a can opener, microwave and grill I starve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godot 149 Posted March 30, 2006 BTW: a strangely interesting topic, this. A whiff of show me your fridge and I tell you who you are. We get our fruit and vegetables from our local farm shop.Each week, I am compelled to buy a lemon. I wonder what that says about me...This is weird. I too feel compelled to buy a lemon every week. Often I buy several and sometimes a lime too, then watch them shrivel up. I also always always come home with a box from the supermarket. This drives Mrs Godot mad. I think this is a mild case of compulsive obsessive disorder since I feel extremely uncomfortable leaving the supermarket without a box. I just like boxes. They are so useful.Curry tip: half a lemon squeezed in the curry adds a bit of zing, so does a teaspoonful of Marmite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
