My mom always kept the mayo in the pantry. I get shit all the time for keeping my ketchup in the pantry. I just tell them why in the hell would you pour cold ketchup onto hot french fries? Doesn't make much sense. I always loved the ketchup at the diners that were close to the heat lamps. Yum
I hate dipping hot fries into cold ketchup. It's just unnatural. That's what I tell my brother. Our mom never kept ketchup in the fridge. He was raised right. Where did he go wrong? Must be that his wife is from Pennsylvania and is a Pedo U grad.
When's the last time you've tried room temp on hot? It's mostly deli meat for me so it's usually cold deli on room temp condiments.
My mom kept all her stuff out. Don’t know why I started, but I did. In fact, when we get groceries, I put the stuff directly into the refrigerator.
