heav3,balsamic vinegar definitely does not taste "yucky". It has a far more pleasant taste than any other vinegar such as malt, white, cider vinegar - IMO it is sweeter whilst not actually being sweet.To learn more about balsamic vinegar have a read of the info' at:-
Hope that helps and that you will "buy a bottle" - I would be very surprised if you regretted doing so.:-))

its a thicker syrupy balsamic and I have it on most savoury things, love it on bacon or sausages even on fresh asparagus.its devine.

Ha, don't know how old o/p is, but I'm in my 60s and have never tasted it either.Often wondered what it's like and whether I should try it or not. Okay, going to put it on my shopping list for the next shopping trip.

one of my fav brunch recipes, cook asparagras spears,place on hot plate,soft boil an egg and use gloves to peel then slice quickly in half so the egg yolk runs over the spears, carefully place 6-7 drops of balsamic vinegar into the egg yolk and serve.its yummy.

That sounds okay apart from the runny egg yolk - might have a wee problem with that, not sure.It might be okay, but doesn't sound right to me.

nah not too runny just softly cooked so its still slightly runny in the very middle of the yolk.trust me i would normally hate this type of concoction but i like it.

A little shake of balsamic vinegar is delicious on tomatoes too.It doesn't grab the back of the throat the way malt vinegar does ;)

drizzled over chargrilled vegetables is really nice too.
even a very small amount over strawberries, just makes them taste so much nicer.

You won't find this at the supermarket but if you do come across it grab a bottle it is Pukara Caramalized balsamic vinegar, it is wonderful. Lovely sprinkled over tomatoes, salads roast veggies, great when cookingcaramelized onions. It is a sweeter balsamic.

Cross between syrup and vinegar. Not really like vinegar. Hard to explain really, buy reasonable stuff, not the ultra cheap stuff. It gets thicker with age.

It is also lovely sprinkled on strawberries. Just the balsamic vinegar, no sugar or cream.

The more it costs the better the quality as a rule.The cheap balsamic vinegars are okay for putting into a casserole, but they are not aged and don't have much complexity of flavour.For using with strawberries, tomatoes or in purplegoanna's nice egg dish, it is best to use good quality aged balsamic vinegar from Modena.It's not as extravagant as it seems because you don't need very much.

I agree, balsamic and tomatoes straight from the garden, yum.
