ξυδάτο (xydato) in vinegar. A common way to cook octopus.
ξύδι μήλου (xydi milou) apple vinegar
ξύδόνερο (xidonero) This is vinegar water, sweetened with sugar or honey, a refreshing pre-industrial drink similar to the ancient posca drunk by the armies of Rome and Constantinople. The vinegar kills many of the bacteria and quenches thirst; when the Roman soldier gave Jesus on the Cross a sponge soaked in vinegar for his thirst, it was an act of kindness.
