Might be tempted to try the lime, but no to the baslamic. The vinegar is there to assist in the "holding" of the egg whites I think. it's only a Tsp or so isn't it? Would be tempted to leave it out, maybe it would be more meringue like.Does the mix have cornflour. That should help to "hold" the mix. Have searched my recipes but they all say vinegar.

I could never figure out what the vinegar was there for, as I have never used it in pavs. Pav recipes with cornflour use it as a stabiliser, but I can't see the chemical role of the vinegar. Can someone enlighten us?

the vinegar is there to strengthen the eggwhites, some people use vinegar or lime juice to wipe out their mixer bowls to get rid of any fat which may be present as fats prevent the eggwhites from aeration or achieving sufficient volume.
