Chilli vinegar is a variety of malt vinegar infused with chopped or whole chilli peppers, [1] [2] which is a delicacy of the United Kingdom's capital city, London. [3] Chilli vinegar is commonly used on foods associated with London's Cockney culture, such as pie and mash and jellied eels. [3] [4] [5] Many recipes in Eliza Acton's 1845 book Modern Cookery for Private Families contain chilli vinegar as an ingredient. [2]
