[edit] History

"LaLonde substituted mayonnaise for the yogurt used in Russian dressing" It seems unlikely that yogurt was used in Russian dressing, as in the "first decades of the 20th century", yoghurt was virtually unknown in the US. --Macrakis 23:55, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Relationship to Marie Rose sauce, Russian dressing, and "Fry sauce"

In the UK, "Marie Rose sauce" is a term synonymous with Thousand Island dressing, as used, for example, in prawn cocktails. I note that the article for Russian dressing appears to describe something almost identical; now, I have never heard the term "Russian dressing" used in the UK, nor the term "fry sauce" - is there really any difference or are they just synonyms for the same basic dressing of mayonnaise and ketchup with a few herbs and spices added? Would it be worthwhile merging (with redirects) all articles under one heading (preferably Thousand Island dressing) for the basic recipe, and just listing them as alternative terms with slight ingredient variations?

[edit] Ad?

Is it just me, or does the final section of this article simply become a giant advertisement for various fast food corporations. This would seem to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia.

[edit] Pizza Hut in Hong Kong

I'm not sure if this warrants special mention for HK's Pizza Huts. In Pizza Hut's outlets in New Zealand (and presumably Australia) Thousand Island dressing (or something similar) is used for swirling on many varieties of pizza as well. --JNZ 22:58, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cafeteria

Kids in my school always mix ketchup and mayo together and stir it until it's pink, earning it the nickname pink sauce by the kids. Should that go on the page? 68.196.8.115 (talk) 17:11, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
