Maybe You Can Explain This
… because I sure can’t.
Yesterday I came home and discovered a menu from a take-out joint jammed into my door. Not a big surprise, happens all the time. But I took the time to flip through this one and found… this:
In the section titled “Chicken Wings”, there’s a footnote: “Ask for Mumble Sauce if you like.”
What the hell is Mumble Sauce?
UPDATE (11AM): And my friend Joe Dailey has the answer — it’s apparently a local-to-DC condiment served by local take-out places, similar to duck sauce and known variously as “mambo”, “mumbo”, and “mumble” sauce. You learn something new every day!

I think it’s a type of hot sauce native to DC take out places (also called mambo and mumbo):
