Poll: Do you keep your ketchup in your fridge or cupboard?

Question

We keep ours in the fridge but my sisters boyfriends family keep thiers in their cupboard so were finding out what everyone else does?

also it says store in cupboard but when opened refrigarate

Answer 1

it's the fridge duhhhh

Answer 2

This is indeed, in my experience, another example of the British-American divide. I grew up in the States, so of course I keep Heinz (and of course it's Heinz!) in the fridge, while most Brits I knew during my 30 years in Scotland did not refrigerate it.

Maybe something to do with British refrigerators being, until only a few years ago, only a fraction the size of those in the USA.

Now, to see the REALLY big USA-British kitchen divide, ask how many people rinse their dishes in clean running water after washing them, and how many just wash them and stick them in the rack to dry with sudsy water still on them.

All you Yanks can, I guarantee, be prepared to be disgusted. ;->
