Who is Werner Herzog?

Anyway........... the man on this video (as the blurb says) sounds like him.

This is what happens to your fridge & washing machine if you don't clean them out and go away for three months :-0

I'm happy not to have smellyvision.

I haven't read all this thread but as far as I went it occurred to me that one persons salad drawer is another's meat drawer.

Just a matter of usage.

That must be why I throw unmentionables at people in the street, Ken. And show my........

...bus pass :-D ;-)

You need to be careful with bananas John. They cause diabetes, bad teeth and agression - in monkeys at least. They are also radioactive and one banana can give you a dose of .005 millirem.

Always start day now with a Benecol plain yoghourt drink and banana out of fridge. Fair trade hand of bananas and they stay nice and fresh and tasty for over a week (unless others nick them for snacks).

Feel fruity with low cholestrol all day then :-D :-D

Joeva

glad it worked!

:-)

Just retrieved the banana in my fridge ....... after eight days......

It was perfect!


Top tip that ...... or should I say Top Banana !


:-D :-D :-D

You need to make sure you heat the slimy stuff to a high temperature (to kill off all the staphylococci) if you are making soup, Dizzi.

(Edit. Hope you are getting your slimy soup in hospital and they are looking after you properly) :-) ;-)

rofl

the slimy stuff in the veg drawer is good for soup :-D :-D :-D

I do keep bananas in the fridge........... except in banana season....... we pick them when they're green and hang the bunch in the garage, pick them off as they ripen.

We can't leave them to ripen on the tree, because we wouldn't get any... birds, fruit bats & possums.

Jo


that's the kind OH usually buys!

They are still good to eat after 5-7 days, although the skin turns brownish. They don't usually last longer than that in this house :-)

The banana I have refrigerated Sylvia is green going yellow......

I usually store in a cupboard away from other fruits, which I keep in the fridge anyway to prolong their shelf life....... never in a fruit bowl.

Be interesting to see how the banana in the fridge compares with the rest of the bunch still in the cupboard !

Jo :-)

:-D :-D :-D @ Joeva. I luvs eggy toast :-D

Reckon banana will crawl round fridge and cross-contaminate everything.

I once actually visited a supermarket in Chester and the fresh fish counter was beautifully displayed and the smoked was kept apart from raw and raw from shellfish. It looked a treat :-)

Then I saw something crawling across the display - it was a beautiful live crab.

I remonstrated with fish manager (had stripes in those days) and he said "I thought it was a good idea to have something moving in my display that would catch the eye of the customer. Absolutely true.

:-0 Dizzy

I HAVE A UNDER THE WORK TOP FRIDGE AND FREEZER,
ONLY PROBLEM IS I CANT BEND DOWN LOW ENOUGH TO
SEE WHAT IS ON THE TOP SHELF,THAT'S WHERE ALL THE
FURREY THINGS LIVE AND THE BOTTOM TRAY HAS BROKEN
I CANT LIFT IT OUT ANY MORE
THAT'S WHERE THE SLIMEY STUFF CONGREGATES

John

:-D :-D


I realised afterwards that you were having us on :-)



Joeva ................

............. not sure if putting ripe bananas in the fridge will work as well. We buy bananas that are not too ripe ............... yellow but very firm.

:-D@ John, I always put my eggs on top of a loaf of bread squashed down with tins and jars, find this is the best way to save time in preparing 'eggy toast'. :-D

I will be putting one of my fresh, just going ripe bananas in my fridge tonight as an experiment Sylvia, let you know how it survives in due course. ;-)

Have had several pms and a death threat. Yes, I was joking about eggs going into bags first with heavy stuff on top. Yes, a grovelling and profusive apology to Sylvia in Canada.

And a profuse apology to those who have gone shopping this evening and packed their bags with eggs at bottom. :-( :-( :-( :-0 :-0

I am an eggspert, Sylvia. You don't spend 25 years of your life running supermarkets and 6 years teaching food hygiene to not know where to put your eggs.

And bleach always sells better if it is moved out of household aisle and put on fresh fish counter.

As Hylda Baker would have said: "He knows, ya know" :-) :-) ;-)

no no no John!!!


put eggs on TOP of other goods when packing the shopping bag!


Otherwise you get home to find egg white and yolk leaking out into the styrofoam carton



oh dear me, dear me, dear me

Obviously you've never been there, done that :-)

Supermarkets give us a good clue. Eggs and bananas and tomoatoes are always in ambient sections.

I have never refridged bananas, but have started. And they do still taste nice. And not black on outside and squidgy on inside after a few days.

And, if eggs are in your fridge, make sure they are underneath ambient goods. Same way when you are packing. Always put eggs in first and tins and packets on top.
