That is an old English habit, Mark. My very late parents turned me on to
that usage away back when I was very young. My father born in Ireland,
my mother born in Toronto but who grew up in Belfast and Glammis
Scotland, close to the birthplace of the late Queen Mother, whose name
was Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons, and married George who later became King
George 6th, and the parents of our present Queen Elizabeth. She is three
months younger than I am being born April 21 and I was born Jan 4th same
year, 1926.
Malt vinegar on English fish and chips was the way to go when I was
growing up In Toronto, at that time a solid English, Irish, Scots
enclave we had English Fish and Chip shops on just about every corner.
As we left there in 1952 when I joined the RCAF as a photographer, we
never returned to live in the city of my birth. It has certainly changed
since then, and after over 5 years in the Air Force, I left and went
into the music business, where I remained for over 25 years. We have a
few different types of vinegar in our pantry. Ordinary white vinegar,
Asian flavored vinegar, malt vinegar, Chinese black vinegar, and of
course balsamic! I have two different types of balsamic one bottle which
is 40 years old, and the 10 year stuff we use any time I do Italian. All
vinegars are good and each have their own uses.
Glad we share a love for malt vinegar!
