Perhaps vinegar should become sticky?

Not literally, though ;D

........Cathy, have you tried the tip about wrapping a vinegar-soaked cloth around some cheese?
Wouldn't it make the cheese smell or taste vinegary? ???

Forgive me if I appear a little thick ! but what is the difference between malt vinegar & white vinegar ? ??? :-[

Chris25

I'm not sure, good question - perhaps the white is the distilled version, that's why it doesn't smell so much and is colourless. Or perhaps the malt is white with roasted malt added ???
Come to think of it, I know vinegar is acetic acid but how is it made? ???

I belive vinegar comes from partially fermented apples. Or is it mouldy apples? Actually, what is the diffrence between fermented & mouldy? No, don't even go there

vinegar is merely sour wine or beer

Wine , beer or any liquid containing less than 18% alcohol becomes vinegar when airborne bacteria called acetobacter aceti converts the alcohol into acetic acid. Vinegar is a natural by- product of making alcoholic beverages and its discovery was almost certainly accidental. This discovery was made in different parts of the world independently, and for as long as there have been undistilled alcoholic drinks there has been vinegar.

;D ;D Im not just a pretty face you know

Thanks Thelma, I'm sure if i re-read it, I'll work it all out ::)

So, when my Auntie had her glass of warm cider vinegar every morning, she was putting good bacteria into her tummy ???

And malt vinegar must be a by-product of beer. Yes I think I'm getting there ;D

Can't imagine where I got the apple idea from then??? ;D
