You know, this reminds me of a letter to Ann Landers. The newly-married woman said that her mother-in-law did not refrigerate mayonnaise. The writer of the letter said that not only did this gross her out, she couldn't believe the entire family hadn't died of food poisoning. So she was trying to get Ann to convince them that this was a bad practice.
Too bad. Ann contacted one of the big mayo mfrs. and they said that while they recommend refrigeration of their product to give the best taste, that due to the way it's produced (pasteurization? I forget, it was several years ago) there is no health risk to leaving it at normal room temperature.
