| I had some take out BBQ last weekend, and it came with a traditional BBQ sauce and a sauce called Alabama white. It looked sort of like cream and was sweet and vinegar-ey.. and hot...but I didn't taste any horse radish nor see flecks of red...nor taste that smokey habanero flavor.
they called it "Traditional Alabama sauce"...so I guess it's just sometbing I have never had. Any ideas where I would start to replicate it? By the way it was from Jethro's for anyone in the Des Moines area. Linda C |

| Lindac, ever heard of Google? Sorry, I just thought I'd try some of your trademark snark on for size. Doesn't fit. Enjoy the fruits of my labor. |

| It's basically a mayo coleslaw dressing and the spices vary. I have some recipes for it. I'll dig it out and post it. |

| If you're trying to duplicate what they had then probably stick closer to the basic recipe. I find that white sauce pretty bland so I doctored it up when I would use it. Cynic's Variation of "White Trash BBQ Sauce" Combine all ingredients in a very large bowl. Season your chicken and grill or bbq it as you like. When it’s done, take that hot, smokey chicken and dunk it in the bowl of white sauce, turning to coat. Serve immediately with your favorite sides. For me it was vastly superior to the slaw dressing versions but still pretty boring so I tweaked it with some lemon pepper, bacon salt (cutting the other salt), Italian Seasoning, smoked paprika, cumin, celery seed, garlic powder and onion powder and it was much better. As with any condiment it's subject to taste so add, subtract, multiply and divide to your preference! Since it's essentially a slaw dressing as I said, I used my slaw dressing for ideas to perk it up. |

| ynnej - I find "google it" to be the utmost irritating response on this forum regardless of who says it, or to whom. If we didn't prefer answers from our "friends" as opposed to the rest of the world we wouldn't post the question here. Offhand I don't think Linda is a particular offender, but then again I'm not keeping count. I think you're going to have to try harder than that to infringe on her trademark, but it was a start. Good luck! ;-) |

| I remember this one from Paula's show a few years back. Tried it and liked it okay - I probably added more spice but honestly now I can't remember. ====================================== Yield: Ingredients: 1/2 cup mayonnaise Directions: Combine all ingredients in bowl and mix well. |

| If it's snark you are trying for Enny-jay...you missed! LOL! This sauce was lots more complex than just mayo and vinegar...but I tasted no hint of horseradish. And I thbink the vinegar was white vinegar nit cider vinegar. I suspect Gina's version may come close....I'll give it a try! I had hoped that one of our southern posters would have a T and T old family recipe |
|
| Southern Plate's recipe is pretty basic. I would have thought it would have more ooomph than it does. I hope someone chimes in that knows more about it. White Barbecue Sauce Mix all ingredients together and stir well. |

| Suddenly I seem to recall a thread here about white bbq sauce not too many ages ago, but searching for it seems to bring up KT threads, not CF threads. Regardless, looks to me it's once again just a variation on a theme and you just need to figure out what you want in it. Cynic's additions make it sound better to me. |
|
| It wasn't all that satisfying- don't know what you get out of it, Lindac. Maybe most of your snarking is done in conjunction with BLT's. Maybe FOAS will use this as a way to bring up politics. Maybe you're all nice as pie. Maybe not. It's my 30th Birthday today. So long and thanks for all the fish. |
|
| Almost missed it! Happy Birthday, ynnej. Hope you had a great day and someone either made you a great birthday dinner or took you out to eat. |
|
| Happy Birthday, ynnej, you're the same age as my oldest daughter, who will be 30 in November. Celebrate! Annie |

| The subject of this post reminded me of a recipe I saw on Pinterest....Comeback Sauce. I haven't tried it, but here is the link for the recipe. |

| Thanks, Evenshade...I make that stuff...but I call it "imperial dressing" and I make it with Hellman's mayo and a little less pepper....and sometimes I add blue cheese...makes it a "whole nother thing". This was white....and a house speciality from a local 3 location "chain"...so I expect I will have no choice but to go back and try it again....and see what I can taste. Linda C |

| Oh dear me.......here we go AGAIN !!!!! |

| Great idea LindaC...I have made the Imperial Dressing, but I found it lacked something. Blue cheese has to be the ticket. Thanks! |
|
| And...add a good tablespoon of finely chopped onion for the onion powder... The kids used to call it "Mom's pink dressing"....whatever!! LOL! Just don't call me late for dinner! |
