I think you guys are either 1) making all this shit up or 2) weirdos.

Dick Krueger:

Salt-preserved Capers

Wish I could find a decent (not overpriced) source for these.

Bill_Tex_Landreth · July 21, 2009, 8:55pm

What are you looking to pay? Central Market has these in bulk and I bet they will survive shipping.

Dick_Krueger · July 21, 2009, 9:04pm

I last paid $2.99 for 100g. I don’t remember what I’ve paid before.

Frank_Deis · July 21, 2009, 9:08pm

I keep my salt-preserved capers at room temp.

Doesn’t everyone? Why not?

Poppy_Davis · July 21, 2009, 9:12pm

I suddenly don’t think our stuff is that weird! I guess I’d have to go with:

Baked tofu
Soy milk
Jar of egg whites

Jack_Bulkin · July 21, 2009, 9:16pm

Oh no Poppy, I withheld my similar list out of deference to our meat eating, soy hating cry babies.

Cris_Whetstone · July 21, 2009, 9:17pm

To go with the flour, goat cheese and wonder bread?

R_Callo · July 21, 2009, 9:24pm

Capers
Salted Anchovies
Parmigiano Reggiano

Bob_Wood · July 21, 2009, 9:58pm

Tofurkey, anyone? Damn thing looks like Play-Doh.

John_Liotta · July 22, 2009, 12:59am

A shrunken head
A picture of Edward James Olmos’ ass (in original case)
John Holmes’ penis frozen in carbonite

zachary_l_a_n_g · July 22, 2009, 1:38am

Pickled Tomatoes
Herring
The rest seems pretty common to me

(what can I say…I’m a good little Russian!)

I wonder if some folks misread the question… it’s not what you happen to have in your fridge, at this particular moment, that might be considered unusual, but what you routinely stock – day in and day out – in your fridge that most of the country doesn’t.

Having beet juice in your fridge for a particular dish is one thing… keeping it as a staple would be grounds for commitment…

Kara_VanCorbach · July 22, 2009, 2:32am

My answer remains true.

Peter_Cargasacchi · July 22, 2009, 2:38am

Sesame oil, Walnut oil, fresh roasted ripe coffe beans, but not the kind that came out of a civet cat’s bottom, which actually are the best, (the beans not the bottom.)

Peter_Cargasacchi · July 22, 2009, 2:41am

Hey Girl!!! That was fun partying with you at Morgan’s house Friday!!! I can vouch for some of your reefer’s contents!

Frank_Deis · July 22, 2009, 4:48am

I’ve probably had the beet juice in my fridge for more than a year. It keeps, and the opportunities are rare, and the bottle is small. However I just bought and roasted a dozen baby golden beets from the farmer’s market (also in the fridge) and as soon as I buy some “ashy Chêvre” I am back in business.

Kara_VanCorbach · July 22, 2009, 5:06am

Haha!! Oops!! When did you guys end up leaving?? That was a very funny night.

Something about monkey brains in a briefcase??
