Comeback sauce is a dipping sauce used for fried foods or as a salad dressing in the cuisine of central Mississippi.[1]
Description
The sauce is orange-to-pink and typically a thick liquid.[2]
Ingredients
According to the New York Times, the essential ingredients are garlic and mayonnaise.[2]
Similar to Louisiana remoulade, the base of the sauce consists of mayonnaise and chili sauce and/or ketchup.[3][1] Many recipes also call for the addition of other ingredients such as Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, or lemon juice, and seasonings such as onion powder, garlic powder, dry mustard, or paprika.[4][1]
Serving
The sauce was originally served as a dressing on iceberg lettuce or as a topping for saltines but eventually saw usage as as a drizzle on crab cakes or tacos, a sauce for sandwiches, and a dipping sauce for crudites or fried foods.[2][1]
History
The sauce began to appear in Greek restaurants in Jackson, Mississippi during the 1930s or 1940s. Its invention has been credited to one of two restaurants, either the Mayflower Cafe[5] or the Rotisserie Restaurant.[6][7][2]
Several restaurants in Jackson, Mississippi, serve their own variations of the sauce and many offer bottled comeback sauce.
