I recently made the mistake of running out of vinegar. I tried a batch of pancakes sans vinegar. Bleah! However did I tolerate that?!

Very interesting... especially considering that, pre-DX, I would load up a salad with tangy vinaigrette... to the point where sane people would be disgusted by the taste. (I no longer crave vinegar like I did a while back.)
The other day, I made a dozen (24U total) banana muffins. Three overripe bananas, 12U { {rice syrup} and {turbinado sugar} }, 1 c. whole wheat flour, 1/3 c. barley flour. I used a couple tablespoons of vinegar then, too. (N.B.: I'm by no means listing all ingredients... just vinegar and significant carbohydrate.)
I found the correct bolus to be 25% Humalog and 75% Humulin-R... which surprised me, considering how much sweetening (~17U total) I used. I wonder if the vinegar helped.
Definitely interesting. Thanks for the heads-up!
