Vinegar
 

I ignored the importance of vinegar for years or should I say was unaware of the value of vinegar and the depth of flavor it gives food. That being said, I have 7 types of vinegar in my pantry. How about you?

1. Distilled White Vinegar
2. Apple Cider Vinegar
3. Red Wine Vinegar
4. White Wine Vinegar
5. Basalmic Vinegar
6. Rice Vinegar
7. Seasoned Rice Vinegar

Got those 7 plus malt, coconut and beer vinegar....had some raisin venegar, ran out and can't find any locally.

Add Taragon wine and Champagne vinegar in my pantry.

Casting away old tales & myths...
 

there does seem to be a building body of evidence that vinegars, in general, both speed the breakup of globules of junk that we don't want to retain, as well as slow-down the absorption of rapidly broken-up carbs to avoid sugar-level spikes in those sensitive to them.

One could simply shoot a 1/4 glass before a meal but that's more boring than Chris Matthews...

What are some favorite recipes for a side-sauce or dip, incorporating your favorite vinegar & perhaps a favorite bread that you'd break with someone special?
:D

Last night I kept it simple and poured some good extra virgin olive oil in shallow bowl, added sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper, dry Italian spices (a mixture of basil, thyme, oregano, "and other spices" according to the label) some red pepper flakes and balsamic vinegar... Mixed up with a fork and dipped some fresh sour dough french bread (baguette). A glass of chianti...

Ate half the damn loaf that way.

Good, but fattening. :D

Hmmmm nummmm homemade fried dough - childhood memories of Dad making breakfast on a Sunday morning. :D

Doh! I forgot the Malt vinegar- My wife likes it on fish and chips when I make them...

I use a basic Carolina BBQ sauce on ribs, pulled pork, etc. I added some of the sauce to my baked beans and it took them to a new level...

1 Cup of Seasoned rice vinegar
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Yellow mustard
1/2 Cup Brown deli mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh gound black pepper
1 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp Frank's Red Hot
1 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce

I resemble that remark :D I could shift a good 10 or 15 lbs :D

Normal550girl- Care to share the fried dough recipe?

I second that request. :D

Heathen.

Must be SOUTH Carolina, everyone here knows mustard is for hot dogs.:D

TR

People tell me that I'm full of piss and vinegar... among other things. :D

I have never eaten a distill before?????
