so many different vinegars

I have a friend who eats Brussels Sprouts dipped in vinegar. When I was young I would take a packet of crisps, undo the little blue bag !! (showing my age) then sprinkle vinegar in the bag. Oh happy days..

 

Often thought about buying that Vinegar book advertised in the papers,
1001 uses and remedies with Vinegar £6

Malt for Battered fish n chips
Malt for basic Tripe and Cow Heel
Malt for Pickling large onions
Malt for garden peas at dinner along with a sprinkle of sugar
White distilled for pickled eggs, silversking onions and making sauces
Cider vinegar for gargling sore throats

Can't remember which Church it is in but there is a 12th century Knight who's coffin got disturbed during renovations, he is perfectly preserved in vinegar. Someone tasted it & said it tasted like "Catsup"

 

Now that does look good Jenny It's almost calling out for a boiled ham barm cake to walk by

 

Was the "vinegar" mentioned in the cruxifiction , not some kind of basic wine ?

 

Apologies Miraflores, we seem to have gone a bit off topic, BUT only MALT vinegar went on our Fish and Chips as kids . And still does!!

Word stem : Vine = Wine, Gar = Spear. So could have started off as Sharp Wine before what we understand as vinegar.

Thats just a guess, as i've packed me books away.

 

According to Matthew 27:34 and 27:48, he was offered OZOS which is Greek, for sour wine, or vinegar mixed with water.

 

Cider vinegar is fruity , balsamic vinegar is sweet, red wine vinegar is - don't know- maybe winy ;-). They all have their own taste. Although you should know that some cheap ones can taste thinner somehow although the nominal ability is the same. I prefer cider vinegar for Mediterranean salad, together with some lemon and good! olive oil

 

Some of those balsamic vinegar's can be very expensive, and are they worth the price. I buy the cheapest, and I find it ok. Then of course, there are different types of olive oil,different acidity levels. I once bought an olive pomace, and it was disgusting.

 

Good answer Liliana Good job it wasn't Ouzo , once drunk never forgotten

 

Tried to order Ouzo in a French Café once, they brought me a Pigeon

 

Good for cleaning the toilet is Ouzo. Once tried a Pernod, and that was disgusting. Have'nt been brave enough to try Absinthe.
