I'm not typically one to reach for acids when cooking; in rare cases, I will use lemon juice or rice vinegar, though I am quite addicted to dijon mustard on sandwiches...
Given that it's one of the five taste sensations, perhaps it's time I pay more attention to this element in my cooking?
Lessons Learned:
- Acids come in the following forms: vinegar, citrus juice, pickles (fruits or vegetables), sour fruits, wine, mustard, sour vegetables, and cultured dairy products.
- Acid is used in cheese making, forming the curds from the milk.

My favorite "lesson" in all this is the possibility of using vinegar in desserts--cider vinegar tart sounds intriguing and delicious!! This is definitely going on my list to make
