I have a friend, let’s call her Lea – which is her actual name by the way, because she deserves to be named and shamed for this – who pours milk into her bowl before the cereal. I discovered this about her after sleeping over at her house when we were in high school, and it was the first time I asked myself if I really wanted to be friends with this person.
“It’s so the cereal doesn’t go soggy,” she explained to me, like there could ever be an explanation for this type of behaviour.
“Lea, there’s, like, a two-second difference between when your cereal goes in and when your milk goes in!” I told her.
The second time I questioned our friendship was when I learnt she separates the meat sauce from the pasta when she eats spaghetti bolognese. That’s right, she’ll eat the pasta separately to the sauce, which kind of defeats the purpose of spaghetti bolognese.
But enough about Lea’s weird eating habits, we want to hear about yours, specifically whether you keep certain produce in the fridge or the pantry, or, what the hell, let’s go nuts – the freezer! Because here’s the thing, even though it may seem as obvious as eating the meat sauce with your pasta, we discovered everyone has a different way of doing things.

I feel like Demeter might be my long lost twin!
Bread: winter - on the bench
Summer: often in the fridge so it doesn't go mouldy!
Most of the other things should be stored in the fridge. Especially eggs.
Butter - butter dish lives on the bench unless it's super hot. Extra packets in the fridge, obviously!
