My spouse informed me the mess of fried okra we had last night will probably be the last of the season.
That and questions of what should or shouldn’t go on hot dogs reminded me of the first time my mother made okra. She boiled it and put cheese sauce on it.
Its basically a variation on Worcestershire sauce. But thicker and fruitier. Similar to Jamaican pick-a-pepper and Japanese tonkastu sauce. The closest American equivalent would be steak sauce. A-1 or Heinz 57.
But brown sauce is much thicker and a bit sweeter. Americans tend to know HP and Chef, the major Irish brand if they have any experience with the stuff.
It’s waaaaay better than ketchup though. Great on a burger and acceptable on dogs in my opinion. Mostly because it’s not basically red sugar.
Not at all. Mayo is oil emulsified with something tart via the power of raw, usually whole, eggs. Bearnaise is a hot cooked sauced of clarified butter emulsified with specifically vinegar using cooked egg yolks and flavored with herbs. They’re related. But Bearnaise is basically dressed up hollandaise. Its harder to make, doesn’t keep as well, and has a hell of a lot more going on than mayo.
Prefer Mayo on fries. Bearnaise is best on roasted potatoes and steak.
When I was about ten years old, I insisted that I was going to market a condiment which had ketchup and mustard in the same bottle, called “Barf-o Juice”. But I can’t remember why.
My fellow Americans…there is but one way to eat a dog that is hot, and that is without your Godless condiments, without your Commie ketchup or Liberal mustard. Eat that processed animal flesh the way that the Founding Fathers intended us to - naked and in amounts that would make an average human being physically ill
