I adore vinegar. I could probably drink it straight.

Also, GOAT salt and vinegar chips:

I'm with the OP, vinegar is disgusting. it is fascinating to see that some of you enjoy the smell and taste of it while others like me find it absolutely revolting. Makes me think that human senses and taste buds are widely different.
 
This thread is triggering smell memories

It's like I have vinegar PTSD

I once worked in a grocery store and someone knocked over a bottle. That smell never completely went away.

They are, everyone has a different amount and arrangement of the various sense receptors. On top of that there's genetic components. Me and about 20%-30% of other people find cilantro tastes of soap.
 
Whenever I get fish and chips I have no salt and ask for loads of vinegar.....and you know what? It's bloody lovely.

This man/woman knows what he/she is talking about. Fish & Chips, with a side of mussy peas & sprinkled with pepper & malt vinegar, is pure heaven.
 
I have no issues with Vinegar. You put it on your chips with salt, its delightful.

Boiled Eggs is offenisve smelling, i have to leave the room, smell
 
I love salt and vinegar crisps but people who put vinegar on their chips are the foulest smelling scum of the earth.
 
I take it from the spread of the replies that Vinegar must be similar to Cilantro in that it's a love it or hate it thing.

I wonder if there's a connection? Love Cilantro and also love Vinegar. Salt and Vinegar chips are amazing imo.
 
I don't love vinegar but I like what it can do for certain foods.

Balsamic vinegar and good olive oil is the best thing. Also lots of mustards have vinegar thus vinegar is good.
