Someone I know does a lot of cooking, especially stews in winter, and has a lot of left-overs but won't keep anything in the fridge which has cooked onions in it. He says they go bad very quickly and send the rest of the dish bad. Ridiculous. He throws it away then instead of keeping it for next day. I've told him onions keep a few days refrigerated just like anything else but I can't convince him.
Can you add any daft food ideas that people you know have.

Oh yes, "You'll never have curly hair if you don't eat your crusts".
Better to smoke than eat pasta.
few years ago when there was the health scare about eggs i was in my local shop and one of my neighbours was in front of me in the queue. she was convinced she had forgotten something she needed and the shopkeeper asked if she needed half a dozen eggs. she replied that she was never going to eat another egg as they were bad for you, just as she put out one cigarette and lit another one.
You beat me to it!
I even heard Marcus Wareing say this on Masterchef. I'm hoping it's because he couldn't be bothered to say Myoglobin.
It will probably taste like shit but yes there are no health risks.
Nonsense. I cook frozen meat and poultry all the time. Put chunk of meat in crockpot. Season. Turn on and go do something else. 6 to 8 hours later work out the rest of the meal and then eat.
Egg shell colour makes a difference in nutritional value. Brown eggs may be prettier, but they aren't better for you.
It tastes fine, it tastes the same as if you'd cooked it from fresh.
Never heard that before.
It would depend on what you are cooking. If you are telling me you can get a perfectly cooked chicken breast from frozen then I don't believe you.
No, I normally freeze small pieces. It never tastes like shit.
I poach breasts from frozen for my cat sometimes and the texture and even smell is different. I wouldn't do them from frozen for the human members of the household!
I nearly wrote the sushi one myself.
Another one from a recent thread in general that I agree with. The best sausages have the highest meat content. My favourite sausages usually have other ingredients other than meat, such as caramelised red onions, apple, cheese, leeks, herbs and spices, curry paste in them and I think a small amount of breadcrumbs only improves the sausage. 70-80% meat is about right IMO, if using good quality meat.
What's an "oglobin"?
Where can I get one?
What would I do with it?
Debate that with a lioness ripping out a zebra's throat
Having suggested that I'm not sure how viable it is though
White eggs don't contain more cholesterol then?? : rolleyes:
That was actually me! Although I didn't actually say the best sausages had the highest meat content. It depends when I'm having my sausages, for breakfast I prefer a plain high meat content sausage, with other meals I prefer sausages with other ingredients like you describe.
