Sauce Tartare

[hiflier]

'I know what they put in the sauce tartare, the sauce tartare in the restaurant car'. And as a result he couldn't be charged -- whether for his meal or with murder I do not know. But can anyone tell me from where this line is culled? I found it as a chapter introduction in a recipe book, 'Cooking in a bedsit'.

The book you refer to Cooking in a Bedsitter by Katharine Whitehorn.  

She wrote:  

"I know what they put in a sauce tartare, The sauce tartare in a restaurant car"  sang an old man in a musical, who consequently could not be sacked.

It could be from a musical but I can find no evidence of that - or it could be from her imagination.
