Vinegar comes from the Old French vinaigre, meaning “sour wine.”  The Bible mentions vinegar several times, usually as a metaphor for something unpleasant (the Bible does use metaphors, right?).  On the other side of things, in Islamic tradition, the Prophet Muhammad considers vinegar to be a “blessed seasoning” and includes it in his list of four favorite condiments.  We will never have world peace with this kind of horrendous disagreement in holy scripture!!!

Why can’t everyone just get along and agree on what the four best condiments are!?
