Description

Vinegar has long been used worldwide as a basic seasoning in the preparation and cooking of certain foods, because its sharp taste makes it so useful and versatile.

A considerable quantity of vinegar is marketed as such for domestic use. In the UK and USA the table vinegar most widely used is cider vinegar, while in Ireland it is malt vinegar and, in grape-growing countries, such as Italy, France, and Spain, wine vinegar. In the Far East, in addition to the traditional rice vinegar, synthetic vinegar is very common.

Vinegar adds flavor to vegetable and meat products. It is one of the ingredients of salad dressings, sauces, such as tabasco, and tomato products, such as ketchups, mustard, and aspics. Mixed with oil and salt it makes the classic vinaigrette, and it can be used as a condiment for salad and as a sauce for cold, cooked vegetables, meat, and fish.
