Wow-Wow sauce

Wow-Wow sauce

Wow-Wow Sauce is a sauce, apparently created by Dr William Kitchiner in the early 19th century. It contains port, wine vinegar, pickled cucumbers or pickled walnuts, English mustard and mushroom ketchup in a base of beef stock, flour and butter. A recipe appears in "Enquire Within Upon Everything" (88th edition, 1894) [http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/10766]

It is also the name of a parody of this sauce in the "Discworld" novels of Terry Pratchett. See Flora and fauna of the Discworld. A variant of the above real-world recipe is in the "Discworld Companion" and "Nanny Ogg's Cookbook".

In 2008, the dish wow-wow sauce was mentioned on the BBC Two television series, The Supersizers_Go... with Giles Coren and Sue Perkins. It featured on the edition of this series which looked at food in the Regency, which was first broadcast on BBC Two on June 24 2008 from 9-10p.m., and repeated at 11: 20 p.m. on September 4, 2008.
