"Sauce, n. The one infallible sign of civilization and enlightenment.
A people with no  sauces has one thousand vices; a people with one
sauce has only nine hundred ninety-nine. For every sauce invented
and accepted, a vice is renounced and forgiven."

~ Ambrose Bierce

Comeback Sauce
Put It on Anything


Screen Doors and Sweet Tea:
Recipes and Tales from a
Southern Cook

"This is first-rate served over chilled boiled shrimp or as a dressing for vegetable salad. It's a crowning condiment for fried pickles, onion rings, and crackers.
Chef and food writer Robert St. John calls Comeback Sauce 'the Queen Mother
of all Mississippi condiments.' And it is.
Comeback Sauce (which is also spelled Kumback or Cumback, and will get you
to all kinds of interesting sites if you Google these spellings) originated in the
Greek restaurants of Jackson MS. The Rotisserie opened in the late '20s or early '30s, and was Jackson's first Greek restaurant. Malcolm White, who is keeper of
all information on Comeback, credits the genesis of Comeback Sauce to The Rotisserie and its owner, Alex Dennery.
Comeback Sauce then spread to other Greek restaurants that opened in Jackson, such as the Mayflower, which has been serving Comeback Sauce in bottles left
on each table with crackers since 1935.
Comeback, like kudzu, that miracle vine introduced to the South, couldn't be
reined in. You'll find versions of the sauce at local hangouts like the Cherokee,
C. S.'s and Hal & Mal's. Some of the sauces use curry or extra garlic. You can
find it at the Ajax Diner in Oxford, or at Giardina's in Greenwood. It's often
described to those above the Mason-Dixon line as a spicy Thousand Island.
But it is so much more than that. Comeback Sauce is heaven on a cracker,
and it is home."

Makes 1 pint

1 cup mayonnaise, preferably homemade
1/4 cup salad oil
1/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot paprika
1 small white onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced

In a food processor or blender, combine the mayonnaise, oil, chili sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire, mustard, pepper, hot pepper sauce, paprika,
onion, and garlic. Process until smooth. Store in the refrigerator for up
to 1 week.
Note: To lean this dressing more toward Thousand Island, add 2 chopped hard-boiled eggs and 1 tablespoon chopped capers or sweet pickle relish.
