Tarragon vinegar (called for in a steak marinade recipe).
I couldn't find it until now, thanks to http://www.afoodsource.com/ and while I was there I got another slice of D'Affinois cheese (thanks again Serene!) to kill any diet momentum (served up on olive-oil'd broiled french baguette coins). :d Andy |

What a value, for $12.00 a bottle! :-) A bunch of herbs you can't use, and 3 ounces of vinegar. |

I think herbed vinegars when purchased are nothing more than pricey decorations or when homemade a miser's gift... I'd much rather mince fresh herbs directly into whatever I'm preparing and simply add plain vinegar. Years ago someone gave me a four pack of herbed vinegars... after looking at them for months I decided to try one, it tasted disgusting, so did the others... all were tossed in the trash, including the fercocktah dust collector bottles.

It's best made at home, and the herbs should be removed and the vinegar strained once it reaches the taste you want. Sometimes, just a few days is enough. |

We had it for the first time not too long ago and I would KILL for some now. I have a feeling that I'll be waiting until we go to Atlanta again or for our Fresh Market to open. Either way, it'll be awhile. <sigh> It's probably best for my cholesterol. helen |
