re: #491 iceweasel

Thing is, most of the things Americans think must be “refrigerated upon opening” don’t require it at all. At least not if you live in one of our many temperate zones.

Butter in the fridge is an abomination. So is cheese. As for poultry, have you ever enjoyed hung pheasant?

I’d say ninety percent of our food paranoia is BS. Hell, my mother used to keep garlic bulbs in our oversized American ice-box until I explained to her how it only makes it sprout faster. Same with potatoes.

Definition of the American refrigerator: A place to store food until you’re ready to throw it away.
