He keeps them in fridge so they last a long time? I thought it’s because he doesn’t like them room temp
I think you're gripe is peeps putting them in to preserve them longer. Thats silly. But I have em with salads and I like my salad stuff cold.
Your biscuits will never go off (do you put it in there still in the bottle? if so the previous statement could be miss-leading)
If you're making chilli, add a squirt to that, gives a bit of sweetness. This is in fact the only thing I use the gunk for. My kids have it on chips but it's ****ing vile in my opinion.
I like to add a little maple syrup to chilli for the sweetness balance (not a lot needed) ... it adds a bit to the smokeyness too ... if also using smoked paprika (pimento) and smoked dried chipotles ... which I tend to.
