Larry,
Thanks for the info on the "Castle Sauce". I want you to
know that I really enjoyed reading your blog. It brought
back so many memories of things I had almost forgotten.
You are a wonderful writer.
Mrs. Dickinson would be so proud!

Castle Sauce
Thomas Gourmet Foods in Greensboro, North Carolina
is now distributing a product in the same size bottle
as Boar and Castle sauce called just "Castle Sauce".
The ingredients are close to the original, but the
sauce is a little bit more of the hot spice flavor
than the Boar and Castle Sauce that we loved so much.
Don't get me wrong. I like it. Since buying 12 bottles
on Monday we have consumed two bottles already and this
is just Thursday. We purchased the Castle Sauce at Bessemer
Curb Market in Greensboro .Go by and try a bottle. It is
better than the alternative, which was zero.
Let me know how you like it.

Please Bring back Boar and Castle Sauce
Carol Price: Please, someone, bring back Boar and Castle Sauce

After receiving a call from a dear friend recently, I was saddened to learn that a page has been turned in Greensboro's culinary history book -- "Boar and Castle Sauce" is no longer available.
While the physical site of the restaurant by the same name has been closed for years, devotees such as myself were able to continue buying the popular Castle Sauce at local grocery stores. I no longer live in the Triad but have been able to sometimes purchase this delicacy in specialty stores. I created my own stash that was supplemented by visits from a close friend. She enjoys the stuff as much as I do!
Being a proper Southern lady, she always brings a hostess gift, and I looked forward to receiving Castle Sauce several times a year!
If you're not familiar with the sauce and are wondering if there is a secret ingredient that's created a following of Castle Sauce addicts such as myself, well ... no there isn't. Its allure is a combination of things. Yes, the sauce and tangy taste complement virtually any type of food, including eggs. But most important are the memories that were created with family and friends at "the Castle" that are lovingly recalled each time I see its logo and experience the sauce. Surely there is someone with the ability to purchase and preserve this Greensboro tradition!
I understand there are a couple of former Boar and Castle employees creating a similar sauce in their restaurants; however, as far as I know they do not bottle and distribute their sauces. By writing this column, I hope an interested reader will consider continuing one of our favorite Southern food traditions by purchasing and distributing this regional favorite! You know, New Yorkers have come to appreciate several of our local specialties, and some of them go to extreme lengths to enjoy them.
For example, a FedEx delivery of Kepley's BBQ, five pounds of barbecue, slaw and hush puppies, at a cost of $90-plus, is reasonable for many New Yorkers! The New York Times published an article in 2007 featuring an odd combination (in my mind, at least) with their "Wine and Swine Tour" pairing North Carolina wine with regional barbecue. A new group of foodies who appreciate old classics in new ways! We need you now!
So, if any New Yorkers read this letter and share our interest in preserving local Southern fare, please consider purchasing the rights to manufacture and distribute Boar and Castle Sauce. Target your advertising to those of us in the 50-year-old-plus category, and we'll keep your business alive. It's time to save the sauce!
Hopefully, someone out there will revive the tradition, and Castle Sauce will be available online before summer.

No More Castle Sauce
S***OUT OF STOCK - MANUFACTURER DISCONTINUED***
Please email or call us (sales"AT"carolinasauce"DOT"com or 919-286-1080) if you wish to be notified if this product becomes available again.
Boar and Castle Sauce just might be North Carolina's best-kept secret. This all-purpose steak sauce and table sauce was born in the Boar and Castle Restaurant, a venerable old dining establishment that operated in Greensboro from 1929 to 1980. Housed in a castle-shaped building with gables, "The Castle" (as it was fondly called by locals) was a popular gathering place for college kids and teens, as well as hungry families looking for hearty fare. The Boar and Castle was famous for its signature Castleburgers smothered in Boar and Castle Sauce, and friendly carhops providing parking lot service before drive-through windows were invented. Although the restaurant has long since closed its doors, folks in Greensboro and the surrounding area can still find Boar and Castle Sauce at local stores, but the tasty sauce has been virtually impossible to find outside of the Triad area of NC until now. One taste of this thick, rich steak sauce and you'll be transported back to a bygone era. The mustard-tomato base is spiked with just a hint of peppery zip, a touch of tamarind tang, and the pungent essence of anchovies to create a complex, savory sauce that enhances steaks, hamburgers, roasts, meatloaf, hot dogs, onion rings and french fries. Boar and Castle Sauce also adds great flavor to gravies, soups, stews, poultry, seafood and vegetable dishes. This sauce has stood the test of time, and is so good you'll want to keep a bottle by your stove as well as on your dining room table!
