Sauce

Sauce

In cooking, a sauce is liquid, creaming or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods. Sauces are not normally consumed by themselves; they add flavor, moisture, and visual appeal to another dish. Sauce is a French word taken from the Latin sauce, meaning salted. Possibly the oldest sauce recorded is garum, the fish sauce used by the Ancient Romans.

Famous quotes containing the word sauce:

    ... we shall never become an immense power in the world until we concentrate all our money and editorial forces upon one great national daily newspaper, so we can sauce back our opponents every day in the year; once a month or once a week is not enough.

    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    She leet no morsel from hir lippes falle,
    Ne wette hir fyngres in hir sauce depe.
    Wel koude she carie a morsel and wel kepe
    That no drope ne fille upon hire brest.
    In curteisie was set ful muchel hir lest.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
