Ah, tartar sauce… a condiment of refinement, suitable only for those with discerning palates and well-lined pockets or motivational oobleck for the working man . A creamy emulsion, flecked with capers and pickles, designed to elevate even the lowliest fried haddock into something vaguely edible. Smithers, fetch me a sterling silver ladle - I shan’t demean myself by scooping this ambrosia with anything so vulgar as a spoon.
