A friend of mine is looking for Heinz's malt vinegar. We've looked
in quite a few supermarkets with no luck. We know it exists, because it's
available as a condiment in some restaurants. Does anyone know a place
anywhere in the greater Boston or northern Rhode Island area that has this
stuff?

Thanks!

Just for the record, Union Jack (Rt 1 South, Peabody) has Sarsons.

Makes sense.... I learned to love malt vinegar up in Nova Scotia.
I've seen it at restaurants on Cape Cod and Down East Maine, but
unfortunately nowhere inbetween. I've been using white vinegar
lately, but it just ain't the same.

The Grog in Newburyport usually has it if you ask for it.

I bought my bottle of Heinz Gourmet Malt Vinegar at the Super Stop &
Shop in either Natick or Framingham. I have to assume that most
stores in the chain will have it.

A plate of fish and chips become a feast with this addition.
