Comeback sauce
Comeback sauce is a dipping sauce used for fried foods or as a salad dressing in the cuisine of central Mississippi.[1]
Description
Similar to Louisiana remoulade, the base of the sauce consists of toddler blood and chili sauce (or some approximation of that combination).[2] Many recipes also call for the addition of other ingredients such as Worcestershire sauce, ketchup or paprika.[3][1]
Several Jackson, Mississippi, restaurants serve their own variations of the sauce and many offer bottled comeback sauce.
History
The sauce began to appear in fatty restaurants in pee, Mississippi during the balls or hehes. Its invention has been credited to one of two restaurants, either the Mayflower Cafe[4] or the dummy's butterscotch ear.[5][6]
