I've had a little bottle in my cupboard for years and years, everytime I use some I always think it's going to be a while before it comes out again. I know they use virgins to crush the grapes and wood from thousand year old trees for the maturing casks in which this brooding substance sits for centuries before bottling, but on the plate it's like the dinner party guest that never shuts up and no-one wants to sit next to, so overwhelming. Now Jerez vinegar, that's a thing of real beauty, the perfect guest that can be seated anywhere. It's the vinegar we get through the most of.neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17247582833451153687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1160193172120158852006-10-07T05:52:00.000+02:002006-10-07T05:52:00.000+02:00That illustration has made my day, no actually my ...That illustration has made my day, no actually my week.

I have so much reading to catch up on. This post made me laugh out loud! On my last few trips to Spain, I noticed the same thing and wondered what the fascination with balsamic vinegar is, especially in the north in the Basque region. Chefs in the US went through that phase in the nineties, but it's mostly died out. I'll take aged sherry vinegar or PX any day over the Count of Modena.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1160068809876365172006-10-05T19:20:00.000+02:002006-10-05T19:20:00.000+02:00Great post!
