Henry Bain went to work for the Pendennis Club in 1881, and he was head
waiter when he created his famous sauce. Cissy Gregg printed this recipe
in 1962, calling it a "modified" version "because we never make it twice
the same way. It will be good with either Mater Pig or Ribs or Beef."
This particular version of the sauce, she wrote, came "from another
well-known and popular Louisville waiter, Livingston Whaley."
1 (12 oz.) bottle chili sauce
1 (14 oz.) bottle catsup
1 (11 oz.) bottle A-1 sauce
1 (10 oz.) bottle Worcesteshire sauce
1 (1pound, 1 ounce) bottle chutney
tabasco or hot perpper sauce
Chopped watercress, as desired
Note: The person that requested this receipe wanted one that called for bourbon, I could not find one, but do not see why bourbon could not be added.
Mix together and add the hot sauce according to taste. It takes more than
you think.
If the chutney comes with large pieces of mangoes or other
chutney fruit in it, chop finely.
Chopped watercress may be added as you
like.
The sauce will keep indefinitely refrigerated, and it has many uses. Any
left may be used for French fried potatoes. Thinned with oil and herb
vinegar, it snuggles up to Bibb lettuce.
