What's in your fridge (with photos)

I thought it might be interesting to see what everyone's fridges look like - not only to see what people have in there to get ideas from, but also because I think it will be interesting to see the different sizes of fridges as I know that different countries have hugely different 'normal' sized fridges!
Here's the trick though - go grab your camera and take a photo of your fridge right now, don't wait until tomorrow after you've been shopping and will have stocked up on healthy stuff, don't move that bottle of beer out of view first - let's see what it REALLY looks like.
I will start off with mine. It's a small UK fridge that feeds two adults.
Top Shelf - Jam, mustard, jalapenos, pickled onions, branston, salad dressing, gherkin, light salad cream, brown sauce, tomato ketchup.
Middle - Spinach, celery, black bean sauce
Bottom - Left over Ravioli, Philadelphia cream cheese, half jar peeled tomatoes, left over chicken tikka, crumpets, bacon, beetroot
Drawer - Lettuce, spring onion, mushroom, grapes, ginger, garlic, radish, cucumber, peppers
Top - Apple sauce, Mint sauce, mustard, lime, eggs
Middle - Garlic mayo, cottage cheese, cool salsa, cheddar cheese, spicy relish, BBQ sauce, Peri Peri sauce, Sweet onion sauce, Lemon juice
Bottom - Milk, Flavoured water, sweet chili sauce, Chili and ginger sauce, Tabasco sauce, hot chili sauce
I didn't realise quite how many sauces we have, there are more on a shelf not in the fridge as well lol
So come on, show us yours

I would take a photo of my fridge, but it looks pretty poor - four potatoes, half a block of butter, a water jug and half a jar of marmalade!
I really should go shopping! 0 -
Just saw eggs in a fridge. You shouldn't keep eggs in the fridge. I used to, then I saw James Martin on Saturday Kitchen say you shouldn't, there is no need, they won't go off any sooner, and they take on the flavours from the other food in the fridge really easily. I find that now my eggs have much more flavour. Just keep them in the cupboard or on the side.0

If you look on the box, it says that eggs must be refrigerated. It can't even be put on the side of the fridge, it must be put IN the fridge. Yes, eggs do take on the flavors from other food really easily, that's why it's sold in a box, not just alone.Just saw eggs in a fridge. You shouldn't keep eggs in the fridge.

Door top shelf - Tomato puree, garlic, ginger, lemon grass, chillies, lemons.
Middle - Burger ketchup and ketchup (I don't touch this my OH is a sauce fiend), Light mayo, reduyced sugar jam *jelly in the US).

Regarding eggs, my grandfather works on board a ship where they have eggs kept on board not in fridges for months and they don't go off and they eat them just fine so you they done need to be in the fridge:)0 -
I wouldn't want to post a pic of my fridge... I need to clean out all the science experiments, ie. leftovers. lol

Great idea! Here's mine (American-sized fridge in the UK because I'm an American-sized American in the UK! Food for two people):
Top shelf = yogurt, flax seed
2nd shelf = cheeses, chicken breasts, leftover salsa and steak, Sprite (my husband's!)
3rd shelf = leftover chicken noodle soup, nectarines, cherries, strawerries, lemon, lime, mayo, olives
4th shelf = eggs, another lemon, another lime, ham, stir-fry veggies, filo pastry, leftover black beans and veggie soup, ham, dried fruits and nuts in plastic containers
5th shelf = wholemeal pitas, cherry tomatoes, chicken stock concentrate, a BIG bag of peppers
Below that are the veggie drawers = lettuce, cucumber, potatoes, spinach, green onions, yellow onions, red onions, garlic, eggplant/aubergine, courgette/zucchini, tomatoes, jalapenos
in the door = milk, apple juice, ketchup, mustard, tomato paste
