I just checked my cupboard, two kinds of that clear white stuff, one 5% one pickling 7% as well as apple cider vinegar, the dark brown malt vinegar, which is what I should have said to start with, two different bottles of Balsamic, one ordinary, one expensive, so good that it can be taken from a spoon....mmmmmmm, and one bottle of home made rasberry vinegar, as well as rice wine vinegar, which I am partial to if making a hot and sour soup, with lotsa chiles. Speaking of chiles, I have a loin roast cooking at the moment in a concoction of tomatilla and green chile, unfortunately didn't have any cilantro, and too lazy to go out and buy some, it is raining, but then it is also November and that means that in BC it rains! It's OK tho, we don't have to shovel it! Cheers, Doug in BC, suitably chastened
