Kebab Sauce Question

I am from Northampton and I have eaten lots of kebabs. In Northampton most places put 1000 island dressing on their kebabs. IMO it is the best sauce for kebabs. I've also had kebabs in pretty much every major English city. Yet they look at me blank or funny when I ask for 1000 island sauce.

Is this just a Northampton thing, and is there a reason? Or do others enjoy it in their towns?

What is your favourite sauce if not?

Btw if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!

Ta!

Wait they don't use semen as kebab sauce in England? I was pretty sure I heard they did.

I think that's burger sauce, I seem to remember Thousand Island tastes different and is possibly runnier. Burger sauce is made by mixing ketchup and mayonnaise (i think).

Edit: It appears thousand island is made in that way, although I think it's a demerit to call the stuff they put on in kebab shops "thousand island" :wink:

Never heard of that. I just get the usual sauce, which I believe is chilli sauce.

Chilli all the way!
Thousand island should be reserved for prawn cocktail and breadsticks only.

Kebab sauce is mint yogurt all the way nom nom nom
