- You can't have everything for free. They have real lemon wedges
- instead of packets of reconstituted lemon juice too. The normal
- tacky US restaurant would have the latter.

- Still, all is not lost for the connoisseur. An UK import shop
- lies just up the freeway, and they sell NBC. At home we're lazy
- and just use regular old vinegar. Malt vinegar is a bit trendy
- and costs more. I grew up just using vinegar anyway.
-
- Vinegar is a relatively unknown condiment for the average American
- unless it is involved in a mixture of stuff (a la sweet & sour sauce
- and tomato ketchup). A lot of our friends used to freak out when our
- daughter was a toddler - her favorite snack was salt & vinegar flavor
- crisps/chips. Still is. She was in snack heaven in the UK.
