Monkeygland Sauce
Monkeygland Sauce is a restaurant item in South Africa. The tangy sauce is prepared in several manners, and may include a blend of fruit and spices. It is typically served with meats, such as
steak,
hamburgers, pork ribs or
chicken. Several popular South African fast-food chains serve a Monkeygland Burger.

onion,
garlic and
ginger, with a combination of
chutney,

mustard,
worcestershire sauce,
ketchup, and wine. At the time the sauce was developed there was a lot of speculation in the popular medical press regarding the use of monkey glands as a means of keeping young.
