Chip shop vinegar

I find it the same with chippy brown sauce. I don't like the normal HP or other brown sauces but love the one from the chippy.

I think chip shop vinegar is just watered down malt vinegar.
I prefer the full-strength stuff!

Maybe some chip shops water it down for poncey southerners who are used to balsamic this, and white wine that type vinegars, but here they have vinegar that rots your insides and could descale a kettle in seconds.
Bloody lovely stuff it is?

Most fish and chip shops use "non-brewed condiment" which is a solution of acetic acid in water with caramel added for colour

My locl chippy sells their vinegar and I always have some in the cupboard, it's fab.

My bro used to work in the village chippy and one evening a bloke came in complaining "Your vinegar's diluted isn't it? I'm going to write to [no idea who he thought he'd write to but there you have it]".

Bro explained that yes, it was diluted 10:1 with water because otherwise it would dissolve the plastic bottle and quite probably the bloke's hand. Muahahaaaa!!!
