1000 Island
 
The most exotic dressing of all is 1000 Island dressing. Where did it get such an interesting name? The story is exciting. Ancient natives used to live on an island, but they weren’t happy with their dressing so they mixed their dressing with dressing from 999 other islands. That is why the dressing is called The 1000 Islands dressing. Some people prefer to say one thousand while others say a thousand. This is due to preference or “choice.” If you live on an island, you have probably had 1000 Island dressing because it is famous on islands. Some of the best Islands are Hawaii. In conclusion, 1000 Island dressing is a captivating dressing.
 
Italian
 
The first Italians discovered a way to make their salad taste better by putting a dressing on it. This was the dawn of a new time for them. Italian people are known for discovering things. That is why they decided to discover Italian dressing. Even though the dressing is from Italy, it can still be found in other places. For instance, Italian dressing is also in America. However, don’t be surprised if it’s not the exact same. The best time of year to buy Italian dressing is in the summer. Many people buy extra Italian dressing in the summer and save it for the rest of the year. This practice is called hoarding, and many types of animals do it. Even though we think we’re better than animals, we’re not. However, Italian dressing is not for animals to eat. By in large, Italian dressing is historic and from Italy.
 
Honey Mustard
 
Honey Mustard is the unique combination of two popular foods: honey and mustard. The story of Honey Mustard is this: one day someone wanted to be gross and get his friend to eat something gross on a dare. He told his friend to eat a mixture of honey and mustard. The friend did not want to eat it, but eventually he did eat it. Both of these friends were surprised to find out that honey and mustard mixed together is not gross. The two things make a good combination and an even better dressing. The dressing is creamy and sweet, but watch out for bees! Honey Mustard can be found in a lot of places including the carnival. In the end, Honey Mustard is a remarkable yet satisfying dressing.
 
Bleu Cheese
 
From its name to its taste, Bleu Cheese dressing is slightly strange. Many people wonder why ‘bleu’ is spelled in a weird way. It appears as if the letters are mixed up. The truth is it’s not actually English. It’s a different language, but it means the same thing: blue. Bleu Cheese dressing is made of bleu cheese. It is blue because of mold. Often, there is discourse over whether or not this is gross. Some people do not want to eat mold, while others do. Will it make someone sick? Maybe. But so many things today can make a person sick: war, poverty, drugs, the list goes on and on. A good lesson to learn from bleu cheese is to be open-minded. Together we can end racism.
 
Tartar Sauce
 
Lumpy and white, Tartar Sauce is a thought-provoking sauce. This sauce is used on steak sometimes, but mostly, it goes with fried fish. In the 1500s, a man named Mr. Tar-Tar invented a sauce he thought people would like. He wanted it to be white like marble but lumpy like blood. Of course, blood is not lumpy, but science wasn’t as good back then, and he didn’t know that. Another example of this is when people believed that the Earth is flat and the Sun isn’t hot. It is important not to blame these people because everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are a part of life. Mistakes are the reason why pencils have erasers and pens don’t. Tartar Sauce itself is kind of a mistake because Mr. Tar-Tar didn’t like the way it tasted when he invented it. His wife did though. So he didn’t throw it away.
 
Sweet & Sour Sauce
 
Chinese food has a unique sauce. That sauce is called Sweet & Sour Sauce. It is one of two ingredients in the well-known dish Sweet & Sour Chicken. The other ingredient is chicken. Chinese people are different and so is their food. They are known for being angry and yelling a lot. Most Chinese people don’t speak English so they had to ask someone who speaks English to come up with a name for their best sauce. The person they chose was not very smart, and he had a hard time describing the sauce. He said, “It’s kind of sweet and… or… sauce…” The Chinese people thought that was the name he was giving their sauce. The truth is that Sweet & Sour Sauce is just sweet. It’s not sour at all. The lesson is to not judge a book by its cover or a sauce by its name.
 
Strawberry Sauce
 
Red is the color of love. It should come as no surprise then that Strawberry Sauce is red. Strawberry Sauce is typically for desserts, and women crave desserts. To be in love, one must give a woman a lot of desserts and spend time with her. Once one is in love, one will see that dessert is a major part of one’s life. Many other things associated with love are red. For example, roses, hearts, and lips are all red. Most people want to be in love, but they are too poor or unattractive. As a result, they are lonely. Lonely people often eat dessert to try and experience love, but it just isn’t the same. This is why lonely people are also very often fat. All in all, Strawberry Sauce is a sauce about love, and love is extremely powerful.
 
Marinara Sauce (Red Sauce)
 
The color most associated with anger is red. Marinara Sauce (also known as Red Sauce) is a sauce that represents anger and violence. It mostly goes on pasta noodles, which was invented by Chinese and Italians. Chinese people and Italian people are both angry and full of rage. They have hatred bottled up in their bodies. One rumor is that the Italians invented Marinara Sauce to symbolize the hot blood that boils inside them. Everyday the Chinese and the Italians kill innocent people. They are proud of this fact. It is a good idea to stay away from them. Chinese people will also kill your dog for no reason. They just want to upset you. Thankfully, they combined forces to invent pasta and Marinara Sauce so that the world would have one thing to enjoy. It’s the least they could do.
 
Steak Sauce
 
Steak Sauce comes from our historical ancestors. A long time ago, people were forced to hunt for their own food. There was no such thing as a grocery store. They killed animals with their bare hands. Then they cooked the meat from the animal over a fire. Eventually, they figured out that having a sauce to go on the steak would be a good idea. Today, we are much more civilized. We don’t have to kill animals ourselves. But we still have the same ideas. There is an old saying: “A good steak deserves a good sauce.” Some would agree with that statement, and others would disagree. However, there is no denying that billions of bottles of Steak Sauce are sold each year. In closing, it is safe to say that Steak Sauce is a successful sauce and shows just how far mankind has come.
