Bow Wow Sauce or Wow Wow Sauce is a British sauce composed of stock, vinegar, port wine, mustard and pickled walnuts usually served with roast meats. Developed in the Cotswolds village of Painswick for the occasion of a feast with the neighboring town of Stroud during which Painswick revenged itself upon Stroud's accusations of dog sacrifice to a shepherd god by the serving of a pie made of puppies.
There is also a fictional "Wow Wow Sauce" often mentioned in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series as being a favourite condiment of Archchancellor Ridcully of Unseen University. The description and ingredients suggest that it is decidedly different from the Roundworld version, being very spicy and composed of a great many peppers.
