Cute guess, and MAYBE it is "A" correct answer. But not what I was going for. Anyone? Anyone?

Ketchup?

That was my first intuitive answer, and then I tried looking it up in vain. I couldn't find a full list of ingredients, but I did see many of those you listed. Am I right??? Anyone? Anyone? LOL

Mandi's guess was better. She knows how clever I am.

Any other guessers? Or are you a bunch of chickens?

I'm a chicken. But I want to know what it is.

I KNOW!!! It's Zax Sauce!!! And by the way, I didn't see that clue until just now, so I got it on my own!

I liked the Ketchup answer, I knew there was a good reason I didn't like Ketchup. I'm sure the "A" is a clue but I would never get it.

I'm willing to bet that whatever this is I have never ate it.

Ahhhhh, Sean got it! I thought the "chicken" clue would do it, but he says he got it without.

In case you haven't heard of it "Zaxby's" is a chain of restaurants (http://www.zaxbys.com I think). I heard from Sean that he LOVES them, but I had never been. Then recently when travelling I was stopping for food and saw one, so I had Zaxby's. The sauce is VERY good. I think I mentioned it to Sean in a blog awhile back, as a little "jab."

More recently I did the same trip and ate again at the same place. Kept the top label from the container of sauce so I could make this blog post.

NOW I know how to get more posts on my blog...put in a challenge and call people chicken. :-)

Well, I was gonna guess spaghetti sauce, but you already gave the answer, so I know mine is wrong. Interesting question, tho.
