Monkey gland sauce has its origins in South Africa. It has been featured as a restaurant item since the 1930 becoming a South African restaurant and fast food staple condiment. It is a thick, sweet and tangy sauce and dark in color. It is typically served as a topping for grilled steaks or burgers, but is also used as a marinade, a dipping sauce for onion rings and fries, or on roasted potatoes.

No monkeys were captured, killed harmed or eaten in the making of this sauce.
