What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?

This could be a cooking experiment gone gone, or a random object you put in the fridge.

It’s not there right now but one time I made myself a bowl of cereal, then put the milk away in the cupboard and the cereal box in the fridge.

The weirdest thing in there right now is a kiwi. I had one for the first time yesterday, so to me they’re quite strange!

My biscuit tin.

…during the summer it kept my chocolate biscuits from going all melty. And it’s actually kind of convenient there, so…

Have definitely NEVER done something like that. Nope, not even once.

A new-to-you fruit can be a fun kind of strange. What did you think?

If it works where it is, why not?

That’s brilliant actually. I don’t know how many here are North American, but the Girl Guides sell a mint chocolate cookie that is delicious frozen, so some people keep them in the freezer.

Girl Scout cookies keep well in the freezer in North America too. The mint version is called a ‘Thin Mint’ - very tasty.

I’m partial to Choco Leibniz. And a melty Choco Leibniz is a very sad thing.

It needs company. Like some hummus.

I, personally, don’t like hummus, but maybe I can buy some. Food shouldn’t be lonely.

Moths. No really.
Two are Oak Eggars that I raised from eggs that the mum laid when I found her in my moth trap, which is not lethal and she was released the next night. There are also a few micro moths that live on Ferns and I found them feeding on the spores. Another is a mystery I found whilst cleaning my patio.

All of the above are in their pupal stage and it is freezing at nights so it’s not safe for them to be outside, therefore they are in my fridge otherwise they would be too warm in my house and will emerge too early. I also have eggs from a Black Rustic Moth, their foodplant hasn’t emerged yet so I’m keeping them cool until the spring when I can feed them.

They have their own shelf so they aren’t mixing with food.

As for my freezer, I have Moth pheromones which attracts them. It’s the wrong season for them so they keep better in the freezer.

I think I have the strangest thing in my fridge, don’t I?

A Tupperware container filled with over 500 mealworms.

I have a very good reason for this (I have a leopard gecko; leopard geckos are fed either mealworms or crickets, and they can only eat live food. We refuse to deal with crickets because we’ve dealt with them before, and if you don’t refrigerate mealworms they just become darkling beetles, which are much more annoying and difficult to deal with than crawly wormlike things.)

Japanese yellow pickled daikon radish (aka takuan). Not that strange, and tasty!

It was not unpleasant, but certainly a novel taste! I wouldn’t say I like it but I don’t dislike it either, and I think I’ll start buying them occasionally just for the variety.

Once upon a time I had frozen blood worms in my freezer. My fish were very happy with their meals. I have since given up fish, but man, watching them go at that was one heck of a sight.

It’s not too weird but I have some McDonald’s chicken nuggets in there.
