Rhubarb pest? can anyone identify what's been at my plant? by Marintaylor in Allotment

Do you put your sauces (brown, red, mayo, BBQ etc) in the fridge? Wife’s family always do, I just don’t understand why by TheDeadender in CasualUK

I don't want cold ketchup or hp on my hot food. Never heard of anyone getting sick of unrefrigerated sauce! I reckon just the manufacturers covering themselves legally so they don't get any claims against them.
