Tzatziki

I love Tzatziki! I pair it with lamb, grilled chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers, vegetables, fish, or just eat it by itself; as the little old lady says in that great marketing commercial for hot sauce. As I would stand there trying harder and harder to pronounce the word, the more I butchered it. My inability to pronounce said word, morphed into a playful nickname for the dish – Suzuki Sauce. Perhaps my husband thought I’d have an easier time pronouncing a Japanese word, given my background.
