Agreed, we're trying to avoid getting meats with water (especially

salt > water) added.
There usually is a deficit in flavor, and I have no
idea why it's allowed.

I've no idea either.

Perhaps the laws were written to excuse picklers
and briners, with less scrupulous butchers taking
advantage of the statutes to add water for water's
sake.

There are those, too. Like my high-school dreamboat's father,
who became allergic to alliums later on in life.

If he was a big eater of it before developing the allergy, he'd be missing the stuff big time! OTOH, if he didn't eat that much of it before, he'd not miss it hardly at all.

He missed it terribly.

As would any of us who consume it regularly.

Quite likely.

That's the way sauces are meant to be used.

Should, but some people like to drown meat and suchlike in them.

I've seen presentations that looked more like
soup than like roast.

Pretty much all mincemeat is mock these days, in
one way or another.

Since this one is based on green tomatoes, there's no meat in it.

One could still put suet or lard in.

I put in just a bit of regular beef fat.

The sensible route.

I've seen kidney suet distinguished from other suet,
but, yes, in standard usage, suet means kidney suet.

Which was impossible to find in Sierra Vista in the mid 90s.

This recipe was meant for another post but didn't get
found in time.
Sauce gribiche

It works here.

It's sort of a classier tartar.

Hi Michael,

Entirely possible. Did you ever read Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle"? That
book was the catalyst for establishing the FDA. A lot has improved since
then but there are probably some things that still slip under the wire.

There are those, too. Like my high-school dreamboat's

Take your choice--soup or roast. (G)

Mayo and pickle relish work well in a pinch. That was the tartar sauce I
grew up with for fish sticks, (G)
