When you hear of American sauce, what sauce comes to mind, if any?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Nothing, there's no American sauce

Mayo+ketchup

Something else

All right, to me, American sauce is a sauce made of ketchup and mayonnaise combined. Looking at gag's answers so far, I think it's a 100% regional term lol

Wait, why is there a sudden wave of girls voting for mayo+ketchup option? It messes up my first conclusion 🤨

[indissoluble]

I don't know any sauce by the name "American sauce", but common sauces in the South which were invented in America would be BBQ Sauce, Comeback Sauce, Southern Sausage Gravy (Country Gravy), Cocktail Sauce for seafood, Wing Sauce (Buffalo Sauce), and there are plenty of Chinese/Asian fusion sauces invented in America for Americanized Chinese/Asian food, same would go for Tex-Mex and other Spanish sauces, and even some Americanize Italian foods. America has a lot of sauces. Some we borrow, many we have invented. I know that guy from the Beard Meats Food channel on YouTube seems to love Southern Sausage Gravy (Country Gravy) and always says he can't get it anywhere else in the world.

Looking at this sauce list, there's only 2 that ring a bell for me, cocktail sauce with shrimps and BBQ sauce

[NathanDavis]

you'll never hear it that way...

America is huge and vast (and Texas even bigger than that) so you will also hear very different things from different American people

and that's great... same goes for "Mexican Sauce" there's isn't just one... lol

is there such a thing as French sauce?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I'm already hearing it this way, but not from US people so far lol

A French sauce in France, highly improbable. However I wouldn't be surprised if there was a sauce named French sauce outside of France.

[NathanDavis]

" The five French mother sauces are Béchamel, Velouté, Espagnole, Hollandaise, and Tomate, serving as foundational sauces from which countless other sauces (daughter sauces) are derived. They are essential to French cuisine, with Béchamel (milk-based), Velouté (stock-based), and Espagnole (brown stock-based) thickened with a roux, while Hollandaise is an egg yolk and butter emulsion, and Tomate is a tomato-based sauce "

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Lol, maybe i don't know enough about France after all, only 3 of these 5 clearly mean something to me, béchamel and tomato. The one named after Spain tells me nothing, neither does the velouté one

[NathanDavis]

I DEFINITELY don't know all about America, not even the rest of Texas...

more than anything I really don't know, and can't understand why on earth do they try to pass yellow shredded cheese as "Mexican food" lmao...

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Hehe, well it's probably harder to make sense of 50 different states than just 1, even though that one is also a collection of regions initially

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Lol, hairy... legged (?) women and liberal fruitcakes of Austin, that was unexpected !

I literally had no idea about Texas except... Flat ranches, that's how I pictured the entire Texas, but I knew I was wrong, I just didn't how much.
Good and quick story, that guy's vibe is very nice to hear👌🏼

[NathanDavis]

lol... it happens

just the same as how a lot of people think Paris... is all of France...

[Abbycado]

Heinz products are what I think of due to where it came from, which is about 1.5 hours south of where I grew up.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Heinz, I've recently learned that it was a brand from the US, I always thought it was German instead lol, cause of the name most certainly

[Abbycado]

Yep, originally down in Pittsburgh. Now, the Kraft family owns it, I believe.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Come on if Kraft gets Heinz, it's even more suspiciously German now lol

[queenofcardio]

I think of a basic red sauce. Ughh I don't like ketchup or mayonnaise 😕

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

There is mayonnaise and LA mayonnaise though, if you ate British ones I know what the problem is: Lemon, or vinegar or whatever they stuffed in their mayonnaise !

[Still-alive]

i'll get you sriracha from the store then lol

[queenofcardio]

I literally don't like any condiments except soy sauce and hot sauce @Maybe_Maybe_not

[queenofcardio]

Ewww @Still-alive

[Still-alive]

soy sauce it is lol

[queenofcardio]

Wanna watch me lick off some Franks from my potato 😅 @Still-alive

[queenofcardio]

I put frank on everything 😅 @Still-alive

[Still-alive]

[queenofcardio]

[Still-alive]

[queenofcardio]

You've already watched me driving when I was stressed 😅 @Still-alive

[queenofcardio]

You need happier videos of me lol @Still-alive

[Still-alive]

[queenofcardio]

[queenofcardio]

@Still-alive you watch it live lol. Let me know when it's a good time 🤪

[Still-alive]

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I knew it, when I get 34 notifications, it has to be you two making out again.

It's a thread about sauce, not a saucey thread come on!

N U A N C E

[Still-alive]

She just gets me goin. her fault lol :P

[queenofcardio]

@Maybe_Maybe_not no way it's that many lmao

[queenofcardio]

Definitely more than making out. I got needs @Maybe_Maybe_not

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Yeah yeah it's nobody's fault, everybody got needs... Excuses for what is a blatant disrespect of my American sauce !

[Still-alive]

Ill give her the ‘sauce’ later ohhh lol 😂 😉

[queenofcardio]

Lmao. I've actually never heard the term American sauce. I don't think anyone says that in Canada.

[queenofcardio]

I prefer bananas @Still-alive.

I was gonna say a pickle but I also don't like pickles either 😫

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I give up, rascals.

[Still-alive]

The banana first, the sauce later mmm lol or maybe the ‘cream’ instead

[queenofcardio]

@Still-alive I do enjoy cream in my coffee 😅

[Still-alive]

Ohh there we go mmm 😋

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

@Still-alive you realize you just accepted to dip a banana into coffee, hot coffee?

[Still-alive]

I it’ll be even hotter in there when im done with her lol… hot coffee turns to super hot coffee lol

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Masochists.

[queenofcardio]

Lmao. Pain can be pleasurable 😅

[Still-alive]

Well i just mean the friction of repeatedly doing a thing over and over yeahhh lol

[queenofcardio]

@Still-alive exactly what I was thinking. The friction feels amazing 👏 🤩

[Still-alive]

Hehe yesss 😏 😈

[MrChinaski]

I think what you are almost describing is a thousand island dressing... ketchup and mayonnaise plus your choice of botanicals?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Honestly, I don't remember what this so called American sauce is supposed to go with, could be french fries? 😂

Thousand island uhhh wait, oh, mayo-ketchup-relish, what could I use that with, carrots to dip in?

[MrChinaski]

Meh... you know Americans... they'll add sugary, fatty, salty stuff to anything that doesn't move.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

And corn.

Don't forget corn !

[CriminallyInsane]

Never heard that term before but I would think ranch or ketchup I guess

[CriminallyInsane]

BBQ sauce makes more sense now that I think about it though

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

What is ranch, a sauce?

[CriminallyInsane]

It's salad dressing more than a sauce but there aren't many of those that are American

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Oh for salads okay, what's in that dressing?

[CriminallyInsane]

Mayo, sour cream and buttermilk mostly

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

All right, thanks 👍🏼

[Anonymous]

Most sauces are ethnic, they were brought to America from somewhere else.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I suppose so, so you're also saying that American sauce means nothing clear to you?

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe some kind of Texas barbecue sauce.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Okay, it would make sense from what I know

[Apulu_backagain]

The orange sauce they put in burgers

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Hmmm I would think that burger recipes are regional, do you know what's in that sauce?

[Apulu_backagain]

I don't know but that shi is addictive and gives good heartburns. I assume it has ketchup and mayonnaise and maybe mustard with different stuff.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Let me try to imagine a mayo ketchup mustard mix lololol

[Still-alive]

I'm guessing thousand island sauce. pretty good

[DryGermanGuy]

Hard liquor? 🤔

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Lol, really? No you're kidding right?

[DryGermanGuy]

I think being off the sauce is a euphemism for not drinking alcohol anymore.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Oh, never heard this idiom before

[jamesgoldman]

I'd think of A1 because you can't get it off branded in the UK

[Screenwriter]

No sucha thing.

[WellBye]

Any random fast food sauce

[TrueConfection]

I would say Ranch dressing

[Iron_Man]

Barbecue rib sauce

[Anonymous]

Ranch or bbq.

[Kelly6]

Buffalo
