Condiments in your fridge?

Question

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year.

I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

This is a fun question!

Soy sauce wasn't a staple in my fridge back home, either, and it's something I always have on hand these days. We also have tubes of wasabi and karashi, and I don't think I'd ever in my life used those before living here. Mirin is another one that we use a lot in cooking and almost always have available.

Outside the fridge but I guess still a condiment, we use sesame oil fairly regularly, and back home it was more a case of using olive oil.
