vinegar in salmon sarnies, why?

[Mike.. . .]

SWMBO bought a M&S salmon traditional sarnie, it had vinegar in it. She
could taste it and it was on the ingredients. Yuk, she thought. Then we
learned that father in law insisted on same. Why? Do many do this? Salmon
in oil I could understand as it would make like a oil/vinegar dressing.
Vinegar on battered fish, yes, to again cut the oil, but why on just
salmon? Is this world wide, UK or just SE or what?

If using tinned salmon for a sandwich I usually add a shake of vinegar, a
little dab of English mustard and a good lot of black pepper when mashing
the tin up in a basin ready to fill sarnies. I must say I do not make them
much these days as tinned salmon seems to be another food which has greatly
dropped in quality over the years. It always tastes so very "strong" now
compared to what I remember and I've tried all sorts of brands/types
including skinless & boneless etc.

(I don't use fresh salmon in sandwiches.)

Why are you feeding a piece of shit troll coward?

Why are you stalking Mike Reid's posts? If there is some valid reason as to
why I should not reply to _anyone's_ posts in _any_ group I should like to
hear it and with specifics, please. If you expect me to ignore another
poster on your say-so then you will be very disappointed.

Now, Steve, can you tell me _why_ I should ignore Mike Reid's posts? This is
the first and last time I shall answer your oft repeated question with a
question. No answer = f.o. Steve.

Why not? Mike sewer-scum Reid and his pathetic sidekicks expect you to

1 He's a troll - ask the other groups he tries to troll.
2 He's a liar - he tells lies about people.
3 He thinks he owns this group and can dictate who posts here.
4 He thinks he owns this group and can dictate what people post here
5 He thinks he owns this group and can dictate who people reply to.
6 He calls everyone who posts here that doesn't agree with his trolls,
a troll.
7 He's a coward - he won't meet you to 'discuss' his lies.

I could go on and on.

And June Hughes and the others that stick up for that worthless piece
of shit are as bad as him.

Oh, and you can do what the fuck you want.

No, I think your fixation is amply described in that.

Why not? There's very little that can physically get into a sandwich that
doesn't work. Jelly (UK not US) sandwiches were a standard Sunday afternoon
tea in my childhood.

Do you really mean jelly like in "Chivers set in a bowl or mould jelly" in a
sandwich???? Did you put butter on the bread??? LOL!!!

If so, after <bleching> I'd say about the only jellies I'd put in a sandwich
would be the usual fruit jellies or the likes of jelly from jellied veal or
similar. :-)

Don't know why it is done but I recall my parents and my in-laws adding a
little vinegar to (tinned) salmon to make sandwiches.
That was 30/40 years back in the NE.

I'm not a fan of salmon, other than tinned salmon in sandwiches or things
like salmon cakes.

Maybe to counteract some taste the salmon gets from being canned?
I was wondering if it wasn't a precaution, to kill whatever germ, but
surely there shouldn't be any if the preservation was done properly?

Probably because I was bought up to do it and the taste becomes part of
life, it adds something to the taste of the fish, although I am now just as
happy with tomato sauce on fish or tartare sauce, any one of those will do.

I quite agree, one of my favourites with fish is to cook it simply
(grilled in the open is wonderful, but microwave will do) then serve
still warm with a sharp oil and vinegar dressing.

When I was a child my grandmother always added vinegar to tinned salmon for
use in sandwiches, same for tinned tuna. I don't know why, I never asked,
it felt normal.
We often had sliced cucumber on the sandwiches, but if sliced c was on its
own, so to speak, that would be covered in vinegar too.

My mother used lemon juice, rather than vinegar - as do I.
