Told her it goes stale about 6 times as fast due to faster dehydration.

She is confusing staleness with bread gone moldy. Bread is not meant to have a long shelf life so it would be stale before it goes moldy anyway.

At 20, you know so much more than her, and I bet you're right every time. Show how brilliant you are by buying your own bread, or even better, leaving home and fending for yourself like millions of others do. Then you can put your bread wherever you like.

Yes you are right, bread should never be put in the fridge, keeps loads better at room temperature

Her bread, her fridge, her preference.
You don't need to call your Mum "foolish"in the title.
That's disrespectful.
She should kick your arse.

The wife's various family members all keep tomato ketchup in the fridge, but store cans of fizzy juice out of the fridge to be drank at room temperature.

There's nowt queer as folk.

put it in the freezer, and bread lasts a long time

I would therefore have thought the fridge also keeps it longer, although we don't do that.

A former friend of my mum's once put a jar of Nutella in the fridge when she was staying at our house and I flipped when I found out as it had gone all hard. You're not supposed to keep it in the fridge.

It comes to room temp quite quick though, and if you are cooking with it it's better from the fridge I find.

Shouldn't the thread of this post be 'What do you think of Mothers who put bread in the fridge'?

Does she buy it from Sainsburys?

Well that was only part of the reason I flipped. I think I flipped more because she had been tidying up without permission and she was only a guest! On a more serious note, she stole several things from the house as well Never got back what she stole.

Tomato ketchup should be kept in the fridge once opened, it even says so on the bottle.

What about margarine? It says in the fridge but I leave it out without problems unless it's a really hot day and you get this liquid oily substance pooling in the centre. My auntie says fridge it and so does the carton.

Yup. Same for nearly all table sauces.

Cupboard stored sauces are a major cause of food poisoning.

People keep all sorts in the fridge that I never do e.g bread, eggs, jam, ketchup, chutney, pickles etc.

I've never put table sauces in the fridge and never had food poisoning.
Probably immuned myself!

Yes the pickles and jam etc always puzzle me because they are pickled and jammed to make them store for a long time. Not things years ago anyone put in the fridge. And pre common usage of fridges no one worried about eating all sorts of things we are now told to refrigerate

The problem with margarine is that if left at room temperature for too long, it becomes highly explosive, and can detonate with just a sharp impact from the butter knife.

Always keep it in the fridge.
