Interesting about the vinegar being boiled in cast iron. I wonder how that would taste if substituted for regular cider vinegar? Good home remedy.

I have read in the past that vinegar is very good for you. I had a coworker once who was told by her doctor to drink a glass of water with vinegar and honey added every day, I think it was to detoxify her body.

I really do think people w/ anemia should cook using cast iron skillets and kettles.

I’m pretty sure Wal-Mart carries Lodge cast iron products. And anyone not familiar with how to season cast iron, search on the internet for that info or else ASK here on FR.

Vinegar is fascinating. Soldiers used to mix it with their drinking water as a scurvy preventive. It was (still is, I imagine) also superior for flushing wounds, and as a foot soak after long marches. General Winfield Scott, quite the scholar on the art of war, ordered as many casks of vinegar as could conveniently be carried when he went on campaign.

Interestingly, he also took along cookbooks, of all things! Figured a well-fed army was probably the better for it. Makes sense.
