What kind of cuisine uses malt vinegar (besides UK and US)? - Food - Fedia
fedia.io
I cannot find malt vinegar in Brussels. I think it would help to know if there were a kind of cuisine that uses malt vinegar frequently other than British and American food. E.g. if the Japanese use it, then I could look for an importer that specialises in Japanese food.

    Malt vinegar is mostly a UK, U.S., and Canadian food as far as I know. Mostly used on french fries. 😋

    EDIT: I sometimes have a hard time finding it here in the States, but I would look for places with English imports. I have also learned to enjoy other vinegars to substitute, like apple-cider vinegar and sherry vinegar.

    It’s pretty much ethnic anglo stuff.

    If it’s for fish-and-chips lemon juice is a good sub. Otherwise white wine vinegar; note however that depending on the amounts the taste difference will be noticeable.

    I almost never see malt vinegar in the US unless it’s at a UK themed restaurant.

    Like, it’s not really much of a thing in US food. Maybe as like a source product for distilled vinegar? But I think that’s mostly made from corn not malted barley. Honestly I see imitation “balsamic” or red wine vinegar way more often than malt
