OK, so this PM I’m jonesing for a snack. And I’ve got the remains of a luuvly rotisserie turkey in the frig, all tender white meat. So I’m thinking, “What do I do with this succulent but blah white meat of turkey? Mayonnaise? Again?” Naaa. Too bland. I want a bit of hotcha-cha-cha with my sammich.

Now, I love Worcestershire sauce so much I can even spell it. So I dip a shred of turkey in some. The flavor of the WS is just absorbed, leaving a brown tinge and a taste of salt. Underwhelming at best. If only the sauce had some body, some suspension…

I _shklorp_ a heaping tablespoon of mayo into a ramekin, followed by…hmm let’s see…ok, a level tablespoon of WS, and blend thoroughly. It turns a pleasant beige color. I dip another shred of turkey. Not bad! Sort of a

Didn’t know; not a mayo fan. I always understood its basic ingredients to be eggs and oil emulsified into the pustulant exudations of Satan’s less-than-admirable abscesses.

But, hey, learn something new every once in a while. That’s what “fighting ignorance” is all about, yes?

Your oyster/lobsters are made of turkey?

What is an oyster/lobster, anyway? Do they have eeensy claws? Great big crusty shell? I’ve never seen one. Should I be glad?

The 14-in-1 Miracle Sauce! Good on Poultry, Roasts, Fishes, Cocktails, Salads, Oyster/Lobsters! Too Spicy? Dilute! OK!

**Root Juice** has a great ring, but it sure doesn’t describe the contents. Then again, neither did **Egg Cream** , and that swept, well not quite the country, but certainly the Eastern Seaboard…

More names please!!!

My mother used to add chopped garlic, onions and pickles to the same mixture. It was her mother’s recipe for tartar sauce.

How about _mayonaire_. You cant euphemesmerise that! Also, its keeping the main ingredient visible, but with a twist, so that when you hear the name, you got to find out what happened to the mayo.

Any progress on finding out what one of these ‘ramekin’ things is? Or are we conceding that we just don’t know, and probably never will?

Maybe it was explained in the missing 13 minutes. Maybe they also contained a photo of Cecil. Hey… they could have contained _anything_…
