Heck, buy it on eBay. Probably pick it up for 1$ + $4 for media rate. Score!

It could do that, but perhaps not as severely as some might say. He does make a good case for avoiding fish on Mondays, though.

+1 on the love for sherry wine vin. I use a lot of that stuff. Balsamic is like anything else; it has it's place in the repertoire. Though I agree, not on fish & chips. ~H

I have a balsamic pourer next to my olive oil pourer but, frankly, I barely use the former. Aside from the occasional sprinkling on a salad I only use it as a topping for bread (oil and vinegar).

I got a bottle of balsamic as a gift. Don't know it it is the good stuff or the cheap stuff. Rarely use it.
Last week I reduced some and used it on green beans with almonds and parmesan. Pretty tasty. A little goes a long way.

Sherry vinegar + minced raw shallots + olive oil = perfect vinaigrette for me

Never thought of that. Gonna try it tomorrow with a salad.

Most people in north america do not know what malt vinegar is. I don't know how you can eat frieds without it. Ketchup is disgusting.
