Newsletter from vinegar-delicious.com Fun Fact Hannibal's march over the Alps to Rome may not have happened if it wasn't for vinegar. The passes across the Alps were too narrow for the elephants to get through. So Hannibal heated the boulders blocking their way. He drenched them with vinegar, which caused the boulders to crack and crumble, and they could easily be cleared away. Troops and elephants could then get through! New Recipes Don't overlook the green beans at the roadside market or in your garden. Here are two green bean recipes using vinegar. Take your pick--or try them both! Sesame Green Bean Salad 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed 1 tablespoon soy sauce 2 teaspoons oil 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon cider vinegar 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds Cook the beans until crisp-tender.
