Honestly very confused by how it can be a mainstream condiment/dressing. For me it’s just acidic. Doesn’t really taste of much but sorta tingles on my tongue/throat. Sorta like when you burp up a little stomach acid or a milder version of when you throw up stomach acid. Very confused about salt and vinegar chips and any sort of vinegar based salad dressing.

    It’s ok in some salads and things pickled in vinegar are good. I don’t like apple cider vinegar though.

    But salt and vinegar chips are amazing. Best way to destroy your mouth without going spicy.

    A splash of oil and vinegar makes the salad taste much better.

    Having a swig from the bottle would be unpleasant.

      Alright vinegar gang assemble!

      I’ll shoot vinegar into my veins if it wasn’t illegal and salt and vinegar chips are the ultimate flavor.

        I don’t think its illegal, but your doctor may lock you up if you tell them you’re trying to inject some

    Sekanjabin is an Iranian drink made of honey and vinegar, usually served in summer. It is sometimes seasoned with mint.

    Delicious stuff. Vinegar drinks have been popular the world over since ancient times.

    Something not a lot of people are talking about is why the different vinegars are so different.

    Vinegar has similar properties to alcohol. My understanding is that they’re made similarly. For example, white vinegar is basically like grain alcohol. It’s… Unpleasant.

    Balsamic though? Similar to wine. Pretty great, and so many variations

    Malt vinegar? Beer. Pretty tasty.

    Same deal with apple cider and rice vinegars

    But yeah, plain white vinegar is not great

      The reason they are made similarly is basically because it’s a “spoiled” alcoholic fermentation. For instance if you try to make cider and screw up, it transforms into cider vinegar. Rice vinegar comes from sake, etc.

    There are lots of different types of vinegar with different flavors and acidities. I frequently use malt vinegar, rice wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar when I cook and even as a condiment

    I don’t see how it’s any different than using lemon or lime juice 🤷‍♂️

    I love it. And there are so many kinds! I keep a bunch on hand for different things: red wine, white, rice wine, apple cider, balsamic, malt, etc… they all taste quite different.

    Malt vinegar is the best condiment for fish and chips. Or sometimes just chips. Hell, ketchup is basically vinegar, tomato paste and sugar.

    Balsamic is wonderful for salads, and if you’re trying to reduce calories/carbs it’s the clear choice for salad dressing.

    White vinegar is for cleaning. I don’t know what you do with the rest, but I imagine make delicious foods.

      A Canadian friend introduced me to putting malt vinegar on my “fish and chips”. Was one of those eye opening “why haven’t I been doing this all my life!” moments.

    I recently bought a dark barrel aged balsamic vinegar from a locally owned store. It’s pretty sweet and a little tangy.

    Basically, go try out some different vinegars. There’s tons out there

        I’ve tried all the ones I could think of and honestly, just classic white vinegar is my go to for it but red wine vinegar can go well with them as well. You may like the malt vinegar flavor but I wasn’t a fan of the pairing personally. Go easy on it though cos your tongue with feel pruned after a bunch of them

    I don’t like pure vinegar, but it’s a nice taste to add to a dish to make it slightly more acidic/fresh tasting.

    White vinegar and French fries are the best, but malt vinegar can go to hell

    Love it, honestly it’s the only foods that I can think of how it tastes and my salivary glands go off. There are times when I crave it in some capacity.
