Hey Americans! Why do you hate vinegar so much?

I didn't realise we had that stereotype. Vinegar is quite popular and Salt/Vinegar chips are indeed greatness.

has to be sea salt and vinegar chips for me. otherwise that liquid is nasty and there are so many better choices.

Americans in general don't even know about putting vinegar on fries. It's a foreign concept to them.

This is like the Pulp Fiction 'mayonnaise on french fries' discussion.
 
I'm American, I love vinegar. My salads are usually loaded with it. Never thought of adding it to everything though. Hot sauce has vinegar in it already, salt too and pepper too. People put hot sauce on everything.

I would have never imagined putting vinegar on fries (french fries in case fries mean something else over seas).

no..it's true. And I had no idea. Apparently American bacon has a higher fat to meat ratio and is flavored with different kinds of smokes and treatments. British bacon has more varieties from a very meaty variety with a small bit of fat, all the way to the other end of the spectrum, and they cut bacon from different parts of the pig, while American bacon is mainly from porkbellies. And of course with American mass production of bacon, cost was a deciding factor.

Taste wise, yes. I prefer American bacon over Canadian bacon. But seriously, Canadian bacon is closer to real bacon if we look at it on technical grounds.

Bacon isn't something you can trap in a bottle and scientifically analyze. It surrounds us, binds us, and delicately whispers into our souls to drive mankind's greatest triumphs of love and creativity. Without it we are beasts.

YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT
 
Fuck your vinegar. You're doing it wrong.

Scientific technical basis? What are you smoking?
 
Now I need a bacon sandwich. Good thing I've not yet had dinner. I think american style bacon, microwaved to just beyond crispy, on toasted raisin bread will do it. no vinegar though. Or shall i?
 
Did you actually ask for vinegar and were turned down? That seems odd.

Also, salt and vinegar chips are all over the US as far as I can tell. Perhaps you are bad at life?

Pretty much. What the fuck is wrong with you, sullying chicken fingers with vinegar? gtfo with that foolishness

If they're battered and deep fried like fish it's fine.

Canadian bacon isn't a great bacon, but it's technically closer to being actual bacon so it wins on technicality. I totes prefer American bacon to it but on the spectrum of "real bacon" American loses on scientific grounds.

No, not lol. I'm actually being incredibly serious, but the topic is so farcical it sounds hilarious.

Go to Europe or Australia and request bacon.

(if, by contrast, you are from Europe or Australia, get 'streaky bacon'. It's the closest approximate we have to American bacon)

I've been, and am from south america, and american bacon is better. This is an indisputable fact. I'm sorry to have to be the one to inform you of your incorrectness.

What the fuck are you talking about? You were ranting about how much better it is, now it's not better, but it's "technically more bacon".

......

K?

So I just got back from a trip. I stopped by Detroit, Birmingham, Nashville and for the bulk of the time, New Orleans. Fucking amazing trip, New Orleans is so cool. Detroit was just as boring as the last time I went, and Birmingham and Nashville were cool, but nothing compared to nawlins.

So anyway, any restaurant I went to, there is NO vinegar to be soon. I was aware of this before, but this just re-enforced how big of a problem this is. I had chicken fingers and fries in detroit, but there was no vinegar? How am I supposed to eat chicken fingers and fries without vinegar? It's an abomination, just terrible. So plain. And Ketchup just doesn't do the job, ugh. I'm gonna have to bring a flask with vinger in it next time I go to the US.

Also when I was at the gas stations for pit stops, I didn't see any Salt and Vinegar flavoured chips? The fuck? That's the best flavour!

What's wrong with you guys!?

Should have called some gaffers up man. Secondly you went to some crappy places in Detroit if they only had ketchup for your fries. Lastly, your last sentence doesn't even make any sense.

There is no place in Detroit that sells chips that doesn't have salt and vinegar. Better made is a detroit based company that has salt and vinegar as one of their main flavors and 99% of the time Salt and Vinegar lays are side by side to the better made brand.
 
I love vinegar, though I've never tried it on fries.

I keep thinking of doing it, but once I've made them I always seem to forget.
 
I use Black Pepper/ Pepper/ Salt/ Mustard/ Ketchup/ BBQ sauce/ Hot sauce and Miracle Whip on my eats.

... The fuck am I supposed to do with vinegar?
 
Traditional bacon comes frmo the back of the pig. A la English and Candian bacon.

American bacon comes from the belly.

I like white onions in vinegar.
 
Not enough people ask for it. You can get it on your sandwich at most sub joints

I like vinegar on my salad and sometimes w/ bacon.


However, ketchup, mustard, BBQ, teriyaki, salsa, and mayo in various forms are the condiments of choice in my land.
 
I was disappointed to learn that you cannot put vinegar on popcorn. The popcorn just dissolves.

Anyway, brb. Pouring myself a small cup of vinegar. It's good even without anything to put it on, though it's a little strong to drink a lot of it.

Should have clarified. I literally just went to the art museum in Detroit, but I didn't see any salt and vinegar at other gas stations in nashville, alabama etc.
 
This is news to me. If confirmed, I will cancel my trip to the states and take my $ elsewhere. Like China.

I was at the art museum food court.

:/

DIA food court? Yeah. No wonder your food wasn't that great...If you would have told people you were coming down to Detroit I would've stopped by the DIA man. I know a dude who works there and could have let us in for free.
 
What do you mean you couldn't find Salt and Vinegar chips? It's impossible not to find them. They're everywhere, at least in Virginia.

Schlotzsky's has the best Salt & Vinegar chips. The only kind I see at the store are kettle chips and they suck. Also, all of the english people who come in always get them, lol. So predictable.
 
I would assume the vinegar would be for the fries and not the actual chicken itself. Salt and Vinegar on fries is a staple in Canada/U.K.
 
I love vinegar can't make curtido for pupusas without it also used for making orange chicken and of course the vinegar and salt for my chips.

Serious question. What the hell is the difference between miracle whip and mayo?

One tastes like egg, the other tastes like sugar and rancid mayo.
