newbiee Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I need some to make chutney, but apart from wine and cider vinegars, the only other option is a basic vinegar (29 cents a litre ... quality stuff!!!). it smells like chip shop vinegar! I'll keep this for cleaning stuff .... but can I get malt vinegar?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Try the international section of your local Champion supermarket - you'll find some Sarsons there.Richard T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framboise Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 My OH was desperate for pickled onions and pickled eggs - a pecularity of les Anglaises? - so I decided to make him a batch to see how they turned out.In the absence of malt vinegar let alone pickling vinegar I opted for a vinaigre that smelt something akin to what we are used to - vinaigre d'alcool - the results were I am told "delicious......". Since I used chillis and bay leaves in the concoction to create my own pickling vinegar the fact it was not Sarsons did not make a lot of difference, moreover I have never seen it on sale here so it was Hobson's Choice anyway.

Christine Animal Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have been very pleased to find it here over the past year or so, can't remember which supermarket though, probably Super U. Can even get Sandwich Spread sometimes now too. [:)] And pickled onions Framboise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framboise Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hobson's Choice is no choice at all.Theres a very old film of same name about a humble cobbler who marries a woman who had expected to marry to raise her status in life. There you go - Hobson's Choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
