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.

Ingredients

• Butter
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 1 tbsp mushroom ketchup and/or port wine
• 1 tbsp prepared mustard
• Parsley, finely chopped
• 2–3 pickled cucumbers or walnuts, chopped

Procedure

1. Put a piece of butter as big as an egg into a saucepan. When it is melted, stir in the flour and beef broth.
2. Add vinegar, mushroom ketchup, and mustard. Simmer together until it is as thick as you wish.
3. Add the parsley and pickles, and warm them through.
