MattyT Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Nope. Don't refrigerate the regular yellow mustard either. Never have. Nothing worse than a cold condiment on a hot burger or dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Indablanc Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Those people are called Communists. Â Sounds like a "red" scare. On the other hand I guess most food establishments don't refrigerate it to the best of my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 We do but I really don't know why. It is a national brand and does not say to refrigerate after opening. Â I never used to when they were in a glass container with a lid that screwed on tight. Â Things grow on those plastic flip tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I prefer the taste of ketchup when it's chilled. Â I'm the exact opposite. That day where I open a new bottle is the best, but then for some reason, I throw it in the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I know it's like waiting an hour after eating before swimming... it's just one of those things we just buy into and accept it. Well no more I tell you!! No more!!

Beerball Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Nothing worse than a cold condiment on a hot burger or dog. Wanna bet? Stick yer rubbers in the fridge for 30 minutes before use and tell me it aint worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no more I tell you!! No more!! I will not accept the word of the previous generation as the gospel! Sometimes you just have to challenge the status quo!!! Â Thats the spirit!!! I am thinking about doing the same. Some good points on both sides but there is enough salt in ketchup to mitigate any spoilage issues. I also agree with the poster about cold condiments on a warm burger or fries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Wanna bet? Stick yer rubbers in the fridge for 30 minutes before use and tell me it aint worse. Â I choose to modify my previous statement. Â Nothing worse to eat than a cold condiment on a hot burger or dog. Â Seriously folks....I'm 33 years old and have spent every one of those years eating non-refrigerated ketchup and yellow mustard. Â Â Catsup on the other hand..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatcrayonz Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I think you should refrigerate it, especially in hot places like DaBlanc. I have to believe it would be pretty ripe if it was left out all bayou country. And I don't mean ripe in the good sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Condiments in the fridge, along with the bread, but keep the stick of butter out so it's soft to spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
