But The Sauce Made Me Think Of Gangrene Ward Of Civil War

So I’m sitting in a fancy hotel restaurant in Hollywood, staring at what’s supposed to be a plate of Eggs Benedict. I became an Eggs Benedict fan late in life thanks to a pal who thought I’d like it and I did. I like the way the soft runny yolk from the poached eggs blends with the English muffin halves, sliced ham and the tang of the creamy lemony yellow hollandaise sauce. Yum. Except that the sauce here wasn’t yellow. This sauce was a color that made me think of the gangrene ward in a Civil War hospital/Doug Clark, Clarksville blog. More here.

Question: How do you like your eggs?
