Red sauce
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term red sauce has several meanings in English.
- It is used as a slightly pejorative description of tomato-heavy Italian-American cuisine in the United States, and specifically to tomato sauce.
- It is also known in the United States for the spicy red-colored salsa that is served in Tex Mex restaurants. It is served as an appetizer along with green sauce. Tortilla chips are dipped in the two sauces and consumed.
- In the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, it can be used to refer to tomato ketchup (by analogy with brown sauce, which is also popular in those countries).
