What is ‘American Sauce’?

amsauceparisblogIf someone asked you to define “American sauce,” what would you say? According to Heinz, it has tomatoes, shallots and parsley but is an odd shade of orange. And no, it’s not ketchup because that is labeled “ketchup.” And even with the strengthened value of the dollar (which yesterday afternoon was clocking in at $1.22 to the euro), I was not willing to drop 2.19 euros to find out.

    We bought it in Germany. It’s a slightly spicy, vinegar-based sauce, a bit like traditional cocktail sauce with Thousand Island dressing, but we couldn’t say it was exactly like something else in the US. Kind of suspicious that it isn’t on their website. . .
