The fridge now has a prominent message on the top of its door: "NEVER,
EVER put tomatoes in the fridge!".
The use of an ink-marker is deliberate, it will probably stain the paint
indelibly. The sticker I put there had been removed by some twat.
Despite telling carers of this Cardinal Rule (no-one expects...) today I
found that this dictum, nay, diktat had been violated, and a whole tray
of salad tomatoes is now only fit for frying - at best. (And really only
fit for the compost heap)
For those as don't know, if the temperature of a tomato drops as low as
6°C it loses its flavour.
Now to dig in the freezer to find something to fry with them.
BTW, also a no-no for refrigerating are: avocados; unripe fruit;
bananananas. But for different reasons.
