Malt vinegar is a British vinegar that is extremely popular in Ireland. It’s a tangy syrup made from fermented malt, used as an accompaniment to many dishes, such as fish and chips. Strange to the untrained eye, this vinegar will quickly become an addiction!
Meat, fish, pasta, salad, sandwich, potatoes, burger… The applications for malt vinegar are endless! This condiment goes perfectly with most local Irish dishes, and is quickly becoming as essential as salt or pepper!
In terms of consistency, this vinegar has nothing in common with classic vinegar. A slightly thick, syrupy substance is the closest thing we have. As for the taste, expect pungent, assertive flavors that contrast with a touch of acidity on the finish.
Surprising and disconcerting when first discovered, it tends to quickly gain aficionados, and easily replaces the eternal ketchups and mayonnaises.
Try it at least once if you’re there! Most Irish pubs offering on-site meals have them!
