where can i buy non-brewed condiment?

I just realised that the "vinegar" in chippies isn't vinegar at all and is non0brewed condiment.

Some people turn their nose at that as it's cheaper. but I actually like it as you get the same sour taste, without the nasty smell.

Id like to get a bottle so I can pour it into my chips at home instead of pouring it in the chippie and getting it soggy on the way back. does anyone know where I can buy some?

    Ask in your chippie when you go in next, they may pick you up a bottle from their suppliers as it may be cheaper and less hassle?

    If you're in London, have you tried Hoo Hing or Wing Yip?
  • I got a few bottles from my local fish & chip shop (as a present for my friend who loves it) - ask and they should be able to give you a small bottle :)
    :hello:
  • Quite a lot of chippies sell it in bottles.
    I'd forgotten it, many thanks for reminding me.

    I think price is £2.35.
