So I have my whole life put pizza in the fridge when it's done, except on the odd occasion where I've gotten drunk pizza woke up to it out on the bench still.

However focaccia and other bread treats get left on the bench a day or two and no one sees an issue.

How about garlic bread? Fridge? I think so but then again I think of those bacon cheese roles that just live on the bench all the time.

I just don't know anymore

Forget the fridge, why do you keep food on a bench? Don't you have tables?

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

7 tables to be precise, but they're for different things.

The kitchen bench seems a great a place as any

I suspect the confusion might be do to regional language differences? Where I'm from, a "bench" is something usually used for sitting.

Might be a language thing by "bench" do you mean the counter top?

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nah I mean bench, but it is interchangeable in my native language,

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's what I meant most places a "bench" is something you sit on. That's why folks were confused.
