So… burger sauce.... I’ve been in England a while, so maybe burger sauce is a recent phenomenon in the United States. And the US is a big place, so maybe there is some region I’ve never been to (or I have not been in long enough to) discover the ‘burger sauce’. Or maybe it was right under my nose the whole time, and I just never saw it. My nose is afterall quite sizeable, and my visual scanning skills are infamous. But in all my years in the US, I neither encountered nor heard of this alleged American delight. But, for the discerning American tourist who simply cannot do without burger sauce like mom used to make: fear not! It is easily found, not in the gourmet burger bars nor in the American franchises, but in nearly every family owned burger shop. And I cannot help but guffaw inside every time I see it. But here’s the funny thing… I tried it a few years back, and now I crave it because… get this… it reminds me of home!
