I always knew I liked Buck, but now I like him even more. Malt vinegar on fires is beyond good!I've been with Buck over 30 years and I still think it's a bit unusual that he puts malt vinegar on his fries. He loves that.

Never said their breads are better just said they are really goodYes, for sure. Cold cuts in USA is junk.
I do not agree with post abOve about bread though. There are many-many great bakeries where bread is outstanding and even better than European, well, some Europian bread.
Over here, if the vinegar is in a spray bottle, it normally means that it has been watered down so that their vinegar lasts longer. And malt vinegar is such an expensive item - not!!!They keep the vinegar in spray misters, which I thought was brilliant.
Next time I have chips, I have to try the raspberry vinegar on them. Thanks for the suggestion!!Oh yes, chips and vinegar are good. I'm not a chip lover, yet I've posted twice on this thread about chips, sorry, fries!, now.
If you like fries with malt vinegar I recommend trying some others. In desperation a few months ago I had to offer DH mulberry vinegar for his chips and he loved it.
When we were in Harrod's 4 years ago they even had a Krispie Kreme donut setup. I wonder if they still have it.Another shock for me was when I was in Europe this summer. Harrod's in London and the food halls. This was my third trip there but I was still confused and overwhelmed at the variety and what to pick and what not to pick especially in their bakery section. Also the prices are incredibly high but people shop there like money is no object.
When we got the first Krispy Kreme store here in San Antonio, honest to goodness, people waited in the drive thru lane for over an hour!!! I was amazed - and more than a little anxious to try one of their doughnuts. When I finally got some, I didn't find them better than any other doughnut either. (Of course, I love all doughnuts.)I had a Krispy Kreme once did not find it particularly better than any other glazed doughnut.

Speaking of doughnuts, a friend of mine visited the US recently. She was gobsmacked when she was served doughnuts for breakfast! (She still mentions it with a incredulous look on her face from time to time)
Is this a common practice, or was she just staying somewhere funny? (It's not something we tend to do here.)
I moved here to VA from MI in 1985 - KK is all the rage here, but I can't stand them. They taste like plastic to me. I grew up on Dunkin' Donuts - on Sundays, Dad would go out and get the paper and a dozen assorted doughnuts and they'd sit around all morning reading the paper while we played.
If I want doughnuts, I go to Krispy Kreme. If I want cake I go to Kroger.
But then, I grew up in Texas on Shipley's Doughnuts. Not even Krispy Kreme can top them.
I miss Whataburger too.
