Open the Door...

"If a stranger were to look inside your refrigerator and judge you from the contents/conditions within, what would they assume about you?"
Well first of all I am a cleanliness addict for health reasons so all contents would be in its proper places (wipe the mustard jar!). I would think from the contents of my refridge one would think I am prone to eating less of an American diet. I am not too keen on junk food and McDonalds but rather more towards foods like Indian (Hindi) being my favorites. I always have curry, mushrooms (portobella) and a million other marinades as well as a fresh supply of Chai tes concentrated and celantro (a favorite herb). Stillsometimes I can't refuse a nice juicy steak once in a long while.My carnivore tendencies!
    - Gregory Kyryluk: Alpha Wave Movement/ Open Canvas

No Meat
Chinese, Mexican, Indian condiments
Plenty of white AND red wine
plenty of mixers=
must be a spicy alcoholic vegie
    - lk: (audiochrom)

I'm the sort of person who forgets to defrost.
    - Nigel Ayers: of Nocturnal Emissions

They would probably assume that I love cool, wide open spaces.....(gurgle)!
    - Dino Pacifici: Music-Language of the Spirit

They would assume:
1) This person has long given up hopes of being rail-thin
2) This person is preparing for a possible salsa shortage in the near future
3) This person considers garlic to be BOTH a fruit and vegatable
    - Jeff Pearce: ambient guitarist

Card-carrying Californian!
    - Seofon: member/producer with Ambient Temple of Imagination and The Archipelago

First of all, they'd see that I'm a vegetarian. The next thing the observer would notice is that a lot more space is devoted to liquids (lots of beer, tons of bottled water, soy milk, ginseng tea, fruit juice, gatorade, more beer) than solid food (various vegetables and fruits -- especially tomato, cucumber, mushrooms and zuccini -- salsa, swiss and smoked cheddar cheese, 24 kinds of mustard, bread from Great Harvest Bakery that molds immediately if you don't keep it cold). I guess the final conclusion would be that there aren't any kids in the house, due to the large quantity of beer on the bottom shelf, and lack of kid-friendly items like milk and butter and American cheese.
    - M. Griffin: Hypnos

Is this a Halloween question? It is true that the 'fridge can be scary! I guess the stranger would probably wonder about my fascination with olives... I think there are about 4 or 5 different kinds there right now. They might recognize the hum from samples on Mote... maybe. Otherwise my refrigerator is fairly normal. This question does inspire me to recall the words of 3 Mustaphas 3 (uttered in heavily accented voices), "take it to the 'fridge!"
    - M. Bentley: the foundry

That I'm vege, I guess. Also, that I eat at home more than I do (depending on whether things had started going to seed). Probably rightly that I'm into various kinds of Asian cooking, based on jars of sambal, tamarind, lemon grass, and so on.
    - Michael Upton : (a.k.a. Jet Jaguar)

I think that 3 assumptions would be made based on my refrigerator contents.
1. "hey you must have a kid!!!"
2. "A beer snob must live here!!!"
3. "You people never throw anything out, do you?"
    - Paul Vnuk Jr: of the Tribal / Space duo Ma Ja Le
