I've become addicted to vinegar. At best I was ambivalent towards it when I was younger, now I'm fucking feral. Pastries, ice cream, cereal, anything. I even drink it, neat. Hubby can never know.

Vinegar, tomato ketchup, brown sauce - can't abide any of them. The smell of vinegar turns my stomach. The quickest way to ruin a good portion of chips is to add vinegar.
When Jesus fed the 5000 with the loaves and fishes, there was no mention of vinegar being passed round. (I know he didn't have chips, but the argument still stands 🤣)
Of course they didn't mention it. It was understood. Didn't need mentioning.
When you buy a car you don't say "I bought a car with seats" that would be silly.
Some things don't need saying
and the 'loaves' was a dead giveaway. Too much trouble to pop out for some spuds, Jesus?
Shame on you, Sirrah!
Telling everyone you bought a car with seats is basically bragging, unless you're a taxi driver, in which case it can be reassuring for prospective passengers.
As for Jesus, well I can only assume he tried the old 'water into wine' routine, but ended up with vinegar instead. Terrible!!!
Most chip shops do not use vinegar; they use non-brewed condiment, which is acetic acid mixed with colourings and flavourings. Traditional vinegar is fermented alcohol.
Non-brewed condiment is much cheaper to manufacture than vinegar, one of the reasons why chip shops use it.
As it's made from a different base the taste is different, too.
Different vinegars taste differently depending on the base alcohol used in the fermentation process (eg, wine, cider, ale)
I've always considered myself to be working class but when my 7 year old son proclaimed, a couple of years ago, that he refused to eat his garlic bread without any balsamic vinegar I did feel a pang of shame.
Similar incident with my son (10 at time). In ASDA in afternoon, he’s nagging me for pasty etc. I say no. He plaintively wails in front of other shoppers “But I only had Eggs Benedict for breakfast!”.
We had to abandon the basket and run.
Be careful, this happened to a friend of mine. Like all addictions, it can escalate to more and more potent versions.
In her case, she moved on to drinking phosphoric acid, benzoic acid, and, eventually battery acid. Drinking battery acid is illegal, and yes, she was charged.

Fish and chips without vinegar breaches at least seven of the Ten Commandments.

And if it tastes the same, does it matter?
(Assuming it's safe, of course!)

"We serve real vinegar".
Interesting to see how many would display it.
Alternatively, go see your GP cos something's gone seriously out of whack in your stomach.
Malt vinegar, no.
