Tartar Sauce

The word tartar is derived from the Greek Τάρταρος, an abyss hemmed in by three layers of night. However, it made its way onto your plate via the French tartare, which refers to something "rough, savage or intractable," just like a Mongolian or Turkic barbarian. In conclusion, the next time you're mad that you got gypped on the tartar sauce, just remember it's probably because you're a racist.

I love the mayonnaise part of the sauce. If they could include ham in the recipe somehow, I'd be super happy!

When I was eating that whole fried red snapper I felt the Hispanic family behind us was judging me for using my fingers. Or for trying to pry open the mouth so I could make the thing talk.

Glenn technically can't be racist against Latin Americans, since it's the genes left over from the Arab conquest of Spain that gives people of Spanish descent their olive complexions anyway.
