Jim Hardie Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It is acetic acid mixed with caramel. Dilute acetic acid (4-8%) + caramel for colour. Thank God for Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Two or three years ago I used to buy it from the fish shop down Hillsborough, I think they were 5 litre plastic bottles (around £1) either coloured (caramel) or clear. A neighbour used it for pickling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alternageek Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 My local chippy sells what they use in the shop for about £2 a bottle. Could always see if your local would be willing to do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 The best "non brewed condiment"/vinegar was made at Penistone Vinegar Brewery, it used to almost make your eyes run when you put it on your chips. Alas it fell to "progress" and was bought out by Sarsons I think, just for its order book I suppose, anyhow they closed it. A great loss. The PVB driver lived in our close, we never had to buy the best, got it for nowt. Regards Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsafan Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Makro sells it. It is now one of those brands that are classed as "catering" category. What you get in supermarkets are more domestic generic brands which should sell to a more generic market. Sarsons is still available in supermarkets, and one other malt vinegar which I cannot recall the name of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stvoider Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 For me, pickling vinegar that has been used for pickling many times is supreme vinegar. Like old chip shop oil. the remnants of a thousand meals. Mmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
