Tasty energy spoo

The discussion along yesterday's ride ran to ride food and whether it would be possible to make savoury energy gels.  Gels are mostly maltodextrin, which is a little sweet but pretty neutral, so it ought to be possible.  Some nice nutter already did the hard work and here are his recipes for plain gel.  What savoury flavours would you like to see?  I'm up for:
  • Vitamin P
  • Rosbif
  • Chicken and stuffing
  • Pepperoni pizza
...and so on.  Who's up for testing?

I have a big tub of maltodextrin which I'm not using much this year, so post your recipes and I'll try 'em out...

My cheese and onion flapjacks were very successful. I reckon peanut butter flavoured gel would work well.

But I like sweet :(

And you have Honey Stingers! I'm not going to come round and take them away from you (because you'd stab me with a fork if I tried).

Yes dear. You can put the fork down now...
