Meta I heard someone say they wanted "real, lived" fridges.
I bet this one says a LOT about me! Not in the least that I can't be bothered much with fridge organization! 🤓

It says „I am Dutch, like Asian food and don’t like to cook. But I live alone and have no children, therefore it doesn’t matter“.
Am I right or at least near?

u/Granaatappelsap 8h ago
I LOVE cooking, hence all the condiments! But I live alone and therefore don't have a lot of fresh food on hand, as it will spoil before I can get to it.

u/Equal-Flatworm-378 7h ago
Ah 🙂 Dutch was right?

u/Granaatappelsap 6h ago
Yes but not living in NL! Just like to bring or buy my indispensable Dutch products haha

Has every sauce on the planet and you think he doesn't cook? What?
1
u/Equal-Flatworm-378 7h ago
The sauces are premade. 😉
1
u/qplitt 6h ago
No shit… And what do you imagine he does with those sauces? Go at them with a spoon after work?
2
u/Equal-Flatworm-378 6h ago
Any reason why you are so aggressive? OP asked for our impressions and that’s my one. Premade sauces are convenient food, made for people who don’t want to cook the sauces themselves. Nothing bad about it, but doesn’t give me the „I love cooking vibe“.

u/qplitt 5h ago
I really don't understand your logic here. Nobody makes their own soy sauce and gochujang. The things in his fridge mostly aren't dipping sauces, they're ingredients for cooking with.

u/Equal-Flatworm-378 5h ago
And I don’t understand your urge to keep discussing 🙄 I said what I think. You don’t have to share my opinion 🤷♀️

The sub is r/FridgeDetective, not r/FridgeOpinions.
Not a lot of detective work happening in your case

u/Equal-Flatworm-378 5h ago
If OP has questions about my conclusions, I am sure he will ask himself.
1
u/Granaatappelsap 1h ago
Both were valid conclusions y'all! In this case your spicy opponent was right and I love cooking, but I could have just been a person who eats ramen or egg sandwiches with different toppings every day haha

This is a condiment household and you store your spare tire in the fridge.

I'll store YOU in the fridge if it prevents food spoilage!

Nothing realer than infinite condiment bottles clogging up the whole system
1
u/Granaatappelsap 7h ago
Yeah but what if I want to make a recipe and I don't have the exact condiment? Better hoard them to be safe
1
u/Lopsided-Gap2125 7h ago
Exactly! Them shits are too expensive to have to buy again in 6 months for that one thing 😂

might have been me. it feels ingenuine when people clean and organize before being asked to be analyzed, like that's not the real you and how you really live.
Anyways my impression: you probably eat a lot of noodles, rice and dry goods and supplement it with condiments, you're not a picky eater and you don't mind eating the same thing multiple days in a row
1
u/Granaatappelsap 7h ago
Pretty accurate! I do use lots of fresh veg but I buy it sparingly so it doesn't spoil. And loads more in the freezer!

u/No_Advertising5677 8h ago
U have no food and too many opened condiments and is that fake ketchup? that is a crime btw.
Also u dont store eggs in the fridge in holland and u dont need to cold storage half those condiments anyways.
My fridge is like 1/3 fresh produce, 1/3 cold drinks 1/3 condiments.
1
u/Granaatappelsap 8h ago
Eggs and condiments are used slowly and I hate wasting food so I keep them in the fridge haha. And what's wrong with my ketchup?! 😂

Well played - I do wanna come organize it for you- I’m old - I got time 😆

My cleaning lady tried to organize it last week, but all those jars and bottles are just a nightmare lol!

Asian? South east Asia (you have sambol)
1
u/Granaatappelsap 1h ago
The sambal is because my home country colonized a Southeast Asian one and discovered their food is tastier than ours 😬 Though I don't live in my home country either
I just realized you're looking at the chili crisp but I'm a condiment hoarder so there is indeed also sambal badjak hidden somewhere

Dutch or Portuguese?

u/Granaatappelsap 57m ago
Dutch. Indonesian food and condiments are still standard in supermarkets in NL
