Vinegar

[gcol]

I seem to remember; as a child vinegar used to be strong - you'd only need a little bit on your chips and your nose would start itching. Now you seem to have to drown your chips in it to get any flavour, but doing this makes em soggy. Does anyone know of a good strong malt vinegar to rescue my chips?

The only time I eat salt vinegar is on my chips, and I have a bottle of sarsons, and what I do it sprinke the salt and loads of vinegar on my plate, then place the chips on top of it, then load more salt and vinegar, and loads of black pepper on the top.

The vinegar soaks rights through from both ends, Luvverly

Lots of pepper, eh? That's where the nomenclature comes from!

The wife says we get Sarsons, and she thinks that my love of spicey food has deadened my taste buds.

In the old days you cooked your chjips in lard which is very waterproof. That's why they didn't go soggy.

Hey I'm not as old as you Joe!

 

[ricicle]

I can't stand the stuff!!!

 

[RF Lighting]

Our chippy still fries in lard! Ruddy great blocks of the stuff!

I dislike vinegar too.

Are you a smoker, Gcol?

You can buy "pickling vinegar" which is extra strong - Sarson's make it.

the stuff in the chipshop is usually NBC which is not vinegar but a synthetic substitute.

I particularly like white wine vinegar on fish and chips, vinaigrette etc. A bit dearer, but I don't get through vinegar by the pint.

p.s. you could switch to mayonnaise

Your not wrong there, I must admit, I do like hot spicy food, I can eat a vindeloo no problem, but when I tried a thal, or thali, it took me over a day to recover lol.

Wash your mouth out John! I'm pretty much the biggest anti smoker you'll meet. Roll on Sunday!!!!
What's the betting this thread about vinegar changes to an argument on smoking? Incidently, did you hear about one of the rolling stones saying he was going to ignore the ban and continue smoking in public places? I can see that working.
"Can you put that out sir?"
"Nope"
"You're barred"
"F*ck you"
"Charlene! Phone the fuzz!"

NEEEEXXXXXTTTT
