let's talk balsamic

[fastupslowdown]

I kept looking for this thread in Cooks, then I realized it was in General and then I realized I was a moderator so now it is in Cooks.

Really the names of products here are a great resource. I've copied down some for later shopping.

We've been using some balsamic vinegar that is thicker, almost like high quality light maple syrup. Works really well in salads, with vegetables in general, particularly avocado and then great in the summer with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella - but I have no idea why it is thicker than typical balsamic. It is consistently so, because we've gone through several bottles (small bottles,) and it does have a big "Modena IGP" stamped on it - I don't remember the brand and we don't have any upstate. We first ran into balsamic this consistency in Italy. And we were told by an Italian while in Italy that it was not correct balsamic and should be basically tossed in the skip.

What's up?

sorry :)

Inside the stores, business continues. Customers keep asking to buy things with the Fairway logo, and are stocking up on their favorite Fairway orange juice and balsamic vinegar. “People might be even shopping more since the news came out, trying to support us,” a staffer said. -Mike G
