    Just out of curiosity; anyone in the US love to douse their fries in malt vinegar? Because I do, but I feel like no one else I’ve ever seen does it aside from the cousin that had me try it 30 odd years ago.

    Is it popular in any countries/states?

      I’m given to understand it’s somewhat popular in the northeast/New England, but that’s just what I’ve heard I can’t personally confirm it.

      No, it’s actually brought up in the Canadian TV show Letterkenny about how malt vinegar isn’t in the American condiment array. It’s VERY popular here in Canada. Malt vinegar is delicious.

        Yeah, I could pretty near just drink the stuff. I like making my fries and fish and chicken and sandwiches nearly soggy in it. I wonder what caused the border cut off on it?

          My guess is New England states probably still use a lot of it. The rest of the states are putting mayonnaise in everything.

            And I can’t can’t mayonnaise outside of pasta salad or a thin layer on a BLT. It has no other uses.

        They got so expensive for a burger place I pretty much forgot they existed. They out priced me.

      Covered in salt and vinegar is the standard way of having chips at any chippy in Britain. Curry sauce or gravy also available.
