| I just received a gift of a variety of really high-end flavored balsamic vinegars. What's your favorite use for these? All I can think of is dribbling it on tomatoes (lame, I know). |

| Make a glaze (just reduce it) and use it on watermelon/feta/arugula salad. Have you checked epicurious for other recipes? |

| Salad dressings. Use some olive oil, crushed garlic , salt/pepper, Dijon mustard, and a little sugar to cut the acidity. Very easy. |

Throw them out.
When I go to someone's house and I see those bottles on their counter or shelves I know they have been there for ages bc they have no idea what to do with them - and they have dust on them. They vinegars are generally pretty gross anyways imo. |

| You could marinate a portabello mushroom with some, and make a sandwich. mushroom, zucchini, tomato and lettuce if you want. |

I love high end balsamic vinegar. I use it for salads with some high end olive oil and a little salt. It's healthy and tastes awesome. These are the balsamic and olive oil that I like.

Are you serious? |

Yes I am serious. A well aged balsamic is almost like a well aged wine. |
