Comeback sauce

Comeback sauce is a dipping sauce used for fried foods or as a salad dressing in the cuisine of central Mississippi.

Description
Similar to Louisiana remoulade, the base of the sauce consists of mayonnaise and chili sauce (or some approximation of that combination). Many recipes also call for the addition of other ingredients such as Worcestershire sauce, ketchup or paprika.

Several restaurants in Jackson, Mississippi, serve their own variations of the sauce and many offer bottled comeback sauce.

History
The sauce began to appear in Greek restaurants in Jackson, Mississippi during the 1930s or 1940s. Its invention has been credited to one of two restaurants, either the Mayflower Cafe or the Rotisserie Restaurant.
