You know, the type that is just smeared on the plate before the food is put on it. If there is to be sauce to flavor the dish, put the damned sauce on the food and put enough of it on so that it can be tasted. Anything else just looks like they used a dirty dish to serve your food.

Kale. TexasMommaWithAHat Jan 2016 #33
