do u have anything strange in your fridge/freezer?

A newish shoe which has been spoiled by wet tar (my fault!) which I'm hoping I may be able to 'chip' off. Mmmmmm...... Also a block of polystyrene in the fridge to use up capacity at the moment as I'm told that's for more economic running. Oh yessssss........

Only thing not edible is my eye drops - some very weird things in yours

Kim just reminded me. Half a dozen full water bottles, to use up space and for added insulation in case we get another four day power cut

A chicken carcase (bones only) I make stock in the pressure cooker, so I'm saving it until I've got a potful.

All the Seville oranges I bought to make marmalade in January & never got round to. I'll make it into orange curd at some stage.
Oh and a gel pack for sprains etc that ex chiropractor boss gave us all in case of emergencies. In the home. It has been used many times & I've always been glad to have it handy.

Bottle of snow queen vodka. Also hotel chocolate vodka,

My flip flops. Bagged needless to say. I have a condition, Erythromelalgia, which causes great heat in feet and elsewhere. One pair on my feet, one pair in the freezer. I can change my footwear 20 times a day though usually am barefoot if staying inside.

Only Jan this year, craftycat ? Mine are older than that.

My son, moving into new student digs, eventually got round to defrosting the old freezer which had loads of unknown bits and pieces. Finding a pack of homemade chocolate muffens, him and his mate decided to taste them, they were good so they had another. About 1/2 hour later he was walking down the street and felt very peculiar. Turned out the "muffins" were maruhana ones. Put them off chocolate muffins for a while!

Suppositories prescribed by the doctor and told to store in fridge. Needless to say they are hidden at the back in case a visitor needs milk for a cuppa!!

I keep the pickled gherkins dill/onions liquid in my fridge after I have eaten the Gherkins. I use this for salad dressing instead of anything else. Love it.

Currently,every time we open the fridge a kitten climbs in. We usually remember to fish her out.

Deformed daffodil bulbs - court evidence some years ago in a spray chemical case. When my parents came to look after the children, they were told to help themselves to anything - but not to eat the daffodils. Case now resolved, so daffodil bulbs no longer in freezer. This was over 20 years ago!

I have a pair of rather smelly shoes (well wrapped in plastic!) Some folk say that freezing stinky items kills the odour-producing bacteria, so I thought it was worth a try. I will leave them in for a week or so, and see what happens when I defrost.

My friend had a guinea pig in her freezer. It was her adult daughter's pet but died when the daughter was away and she wanted to be there when they buried it, so they froze it.

We had to freeze DD's hamster because the ground was frozen too hard to bury it. The strangest thing I ever had in the freezer was the foetus of a bull calf. DH brought it home when he was working for an abattoir. It was,a fascinating little thing, about the size of a 4 week old kitten and complete with tiny hooves.

How about a tick wrapped in cling film ! Found one on me recently, removed it but read it should be kept until sure I haven't had the bullseye reaction.

Wow, what an interesting thread!

I only have my mascara in there as I rarely use it, it's a very expensive brand, and don't want it to get bacteria in it.

Does the hydrogen peroxide work for your teeth - how do you use it?

My DD did exactly the same with their guinea pig
SueDonim ! Son-in-law was away but wanted to be there at the burial.

Mr Men cold pack to put on "bumps" and a bottle of opened Calpol both for the grandchildren

00Mam00, why aren't your sloes happily pickling in some gin, instead of lurking in your freezer?

My DD kept her beloved late parrot in her freezer for nine years until, due to a power cut poor Polly got defrosted.
Owing to a house move I had to clean out my ancient chest freezer, apart from the obligilitary shrivelled peas and wrinkly sweetcorns I discovered a pack of Ice-Pops welded to the base. My children were by then in their thirties!

The only non food item in my freezer is a couple of help packs for sprains, and two of those inserts for cool bags/boxes.

Gel packs!
