Also very nice in fried chicken - do NOT use a light hand!

Sounds interesting. Do you use any special vinegar or just plain old
red or cider? Other seasonings aside from salt??

Good order. I'm pretty well stocked right now but I'm running low on
vanilla beans. I make a lovely, delicate biscotti with vanilla beans

not through the nose ;^)
