salt and vinegar

Tangy crisp flavor

Salt and vinegar describes a flavor combination featuring sharp acidity and salinity, most associated with potato chips and fish and chips.

The pairing originated in British cuisine and remains especially popular in the UK, Canada, and Australia: I'll have the salt and vinegar chips.

The flavor is tangy and intense, often making lips pucker.
