Very much a cultural issue. You might see it in a Fish and Chips
place, but outside of that?? Salt, pepper and sugar. Then the sugar
substitute so those looking to save a few calories. Some regional
changes and of course in restaurants that are of ethnic flavor,
Chinese, Thai, Italian you'll see the goods associated with those
foods. As a matter of course though, I don't think you'll see vinegar
and very many tables unless it's some bad red stuff for salad
dressing. Better places of course will have balsamic .
Have you tried asking for it?

Hi,
I just checked the the ingredients label, and it is marked "5% acetic
acid per volume" , so, for papers. I'll dilute 1:1.5 (water) .
Just out of curiosity, why is it impossible to get regular white
vinegar in a restaurant in the US. In Canada, there is always
vinegar on the table, along with salt and pepper. in Canada, we put
vinegar on our french fries. We've eaten in places all over the US,
and it is impossible to get vinegar to put on one's french fries. Is
this a cultural thing, or is there a more specific reason that I am
unaware of???? I've asked in restaurants in the US and they look at
me like I came from another planet. Then, they ask me why I would
want to put vinegar on my food. The only vinegar they would have
would wine vinegar for salads.
If anybody has a answer, I'd be very interested in hearing it. One
of those things, like 'What is the meaning of life"? 42!
Cheers,
Bogdan

To use as a stop bath it must be white or distilled vinegar. The
brown form may stain. Check the label as it can be any percentage
from 4% to 5% depending on the brand. Kodak SB-1 for papers is 2%
acetic acid, for films the percentage can be 1%. So if you have the
4% version dilute it with an equal amount of water for 2%.

Hello all,
this was discussed a few years back, but do not remember the
details. I have 3 gallons of kitchen vinegar and I remember it was
mentioned that a dilution of vinegar could be used as a stop bath.
Does anybody know what dilution of vinegar to water I should use? Are
there any disadvantages to using diluted vinegar as opposed to the
Indicator Stop made by the great yellow Father or Ilford's Stop bath?
If I do use diluted vinegar, how can I tell when I should dump the bath?
Cheers,
Bogdan
