Italian Restaurants, Bread, Oil, and ?
Mental Magpie:
I tried searching on the internet, but I had no idea how to word it in a search engine.
You know in Italian restaurants when they bring out the bread with oil? What is the brown stuff? It has a vinegar taste to me, but there is something else there, too. Can I make it at home or do I have to just buy it? Does anyone have any recipes?
MariaE:
Balsamic Vinegar - also sometimes called red wine vinegar, but I don't know if that's accurate.
AFAIK it has to be bought. I've never heard of recipes for it. Most supermarkets that I've been to have had it though - it seems to be fairly common.

It's super cheap to buy and lasts forever. You can use it to make marinades and salad dressings, and can get flavoured varieties.

Is it really? I LOVE Balsamic Vinegar; I'm disappointed I didn't recognize it, but that could have been the oil and parmesan masking it. Just so happens I have some on my shelf, and now we all know what I'm having with dinner tomorrow night.
ETA: Thank you both! The reason I have a bottle is because I did make dressing with it once :D

Balsamic and red wine vinegar are different things. Balsamic is much stronger and darker and not made from red wine unlike red wine vinegar :D
