[A] Wow Wow Sauce
Marion Diamond
as favoured by Ridcully and others with hangovers.
Looking through Jane Grigson's recipe book on Vegetables, I found a
recipe for Wow Wow Sauce, sourced (sorry) to William Kitchener, _Apicius
Redivivus or the Cook's Companion, 1817.
It sounds remarkably similar - vast amounts of mustard, vinegar, pickled
gherkins, mushroom sauce and various possible extras, although no
gunpowder.

Oh never mind; I am sure the lack of gunpowder was just an omission on the part
of the Cooks Companion. Personally, if anyone come up with anything better than
a mug of Lava Java and two Anadin Extras then I will be interested.

I feel almost embarrassed to point that we did mention Dr Kitchiner at
length in the Discworld Companion...

On the subject of the sauce........
I think that the RL equivalent has been discovered.
It's called Daves Insanity Sauce and comes with the following
healthy warning........
Not to be consumed by people with heart conditions or those with
respetory problems.
It also say that it should be used one drop at a
time.................
A bottle was purchased as a present for my best friend. [1]
My you, this man eats curry paste/powder from the pot.
All those that tried it spent a while sucking ice-cubes!
It can be bought from Sainsbury's (UK), not sure about any where
else.

The trouble is that this stuff has only two qualities: a single flavor
(reminiscent of burnt cat hair), and HEAT.
Wow Wow Sauce at least has some complexity of flavor about it. And will not
raise blisters on your flesh. (Peter was sent a bottle by a friend. The bottle
leaked in transit: while he was washing it off, some got under his wedding
ring. Blisters rose within sixty seconds. And this was before we knew about
the antidote to "Hunan Hand": a very weak bleach solution, or contact lens
wetting solution [kinder to the eyes than bleach].)
I'll take the WWS any time.
Best! D.

It's worth eating all by itself (someone brough a flash of it along to a
signing in Adelaide a few years ago...)
I once absend-mindedly ordered Three Mile Island dressing in a
restaurant and, with great presence of mind, they brought Thousand
Island Dressing and a bottle of chili sauce.

I've now enshrined that one in alt.quotations. I

On your next trip to Merka, seek out the local bar/restaurant/Guild of
Seamstresses yclept "Hooters". This is a chain of "sports bars" which
serves beers and assorted snacks to the accompaniment of numerous big screen
TVs showing various sports channels.
Their speciality is Chicken Wings, which come in 4 varieties: mild, medium,
hot and Three Mile Island.
However, don't bother with the one recently opened in Birmingham - I tried
it last week and what they laughingly called T M I would barely pass for
mild in Texas.
John
PS. The waitresses are specially selected to match the name of the bar.

I have never ever been in any kind of bar like this, particularly the
one near my hotel in San Antonio last year. And this is why I'm not
proposing to include in some future book a bar that serves its beer in
jugs...

My brother has a habit of making chicken wings that _start_ at the
heat rating of TMI. I'm sure the hottest ones could be used to power
small cars.

Hmm - let me guess - he mixes his own spices - the _only_ way to make a
decent curry... [1]

OK - tip 1: It shouldn't be *that* hot. There's other stuff than
chili in thar, and you should be able to taste it.

Here's mine - always put the toilet paper in the fridge before consuming
a truly great curry.
That's not the sort of tip you were looking for? I'm sorry, I have a
cold.

I have some handy tips, from personal experience (well, from watching a
Curry-expert friend of mine):
1) If you find yourself tearing lumps of ice out of the freezer and
eating them, you've put too much spice in.
2) If your chicken is dark brown/black, but you haven't started cooking
it yet, prepare for 1).
3) If you noone can enter the kitchen while you're cooking because they
go temporarily blind, it's probably time for 1) again.
I swear, these all happened during the same meal... I think he has one
taste bud left, which is fighting a losing battle.
Cheers,
Kevin

1. One is that David's Restaurant in Boston has Venison Pastrami on Rye
with Wow Wow Sauce as one of it appetizers. Check out the URL
http://www.cuisinenet.com/cnet/boston/menu/3066.shtml.
2. The booklet, Making and Using Mustards by Claire Hopley (Storey
Publishing Bulletin A-129, 1991, ISBN 0-88266-697-5) has a recipe for
Wow-Wow Sauce on page 29. At the end of the recipe it says, "As its
name indicates, this sharp hot sauce has quite an impact. Those with
robust tastes will enjoy it with sausages and with rich and oily food."
Note that there appears to be some disagreement about whether the correct
spelling is "Wow Wow Sauce" or "Wow-Wow Sauce."
