Drinking Vinegar

[Cloverjo]

The other I was buying food for the protein phase of my diet, and decided to get some jarred cockles. After I'd eaten them I couldn't help drinking the whole vinegar solution left in the jar. Gosh, it was lovely. I want some more now. Is this normal? We have other vinegars in the house, but they won't do for glugging.
Will it do me harm if I get loads of jarred cockles and drink the liquid? I've googled and can only find pregnant women doing the same. I'm definitely not pregnant!

Love those jars of cockles and yes I too can't resist a few slurps of the vinegar.

[Cloverjo]

Ah good, not just me then :)

I like a glug of jarred Beetroot sweet vinegar.

I used to have a packet of salt and vinegar crisps when I was little with 3 pickled onions in it and drink the extra vinegar- I was such a classy child x

I find it hard to think of anything more revolting.

I can't stand vinegar. Even the smell of salt and vinegar crisps, coming from someone's pack at the other end of the bar from me, makes we want to throw up.

Buenchico, I am the same. Hate with a vengeance salt n vinegar crisps.
Hate beetroot in vinegar, hate chips smothered in the stuff.
Yuk, yuk, yuk!

[Buenchico]

Yay!

I'm not alone!

I'm allergic to sea food. :o{

Talking of vinegar, can anyone remember 'non-brewed condiment'? At one time there was a bottle on every chippy counter. Although generally called vinegar it was not as such, being purely acetic acid. This was for the benefit of people like Methodists who would not touch anything derived from alcohol. Haven't seen it around for years.

I remember that Jack, I haven't seen it for yonks either.

. . . or, more likely, because it's a lot cheaper!

It's obviously still around (or, at least, it was two years ago) because this is from 2016:

I love vinegar all over my chips, it's salt I detest.

As for Salt & Vinegar crisps, they're my all-time favourites. Yummy.

I love vinegar, especially the milder version that's used for pickled onions. But vinegar has many uses. I think there is book available which shows how it can help with many things. No. I haven't got a link. Sorry.

Oh God! I can feel the reflux, just reading that.

I like vinegar, but I don't think that I could drink it.

[anthro-nerd]

OMG this has made me feel quite queasy, but each to their own! Drinking a large amount of vinegar isn't good for you... I got told to avoid really spicy foods and vinegary foods in excess because I have a 'baggy' kidney that doesn't drain properly and therefore such foods could cause me issues... I imagine to odd vinegary slurp would be okay though!

''Drinking a large amount of vinegar isn't good for you''

Thousands of Lambrini lovers seem to do ok.

[Jackdaw33]

LOL @ Snags!

[Patsy33]

I could do that quite easily! Love the smell. When I was a child about 9/10, my mother caught me in the pantry drinking from the bottled vinegar! She shouted at me saying You shouldn't do that, it will dry your blood up!" Dont know if theres any truth in that?
