Wow Wow Sauce, for Boiled Beef or Bouilli

Wash and pick a handful of parsley, and shred the leaves finely. Put them into a basin, and mix with them three bruised pickled walnuts. Make half a pint of melted butter, using for the purpose the liquor in which the meat was boiled. Put it into a saucepan over a gentle fire, and stir into it a tea-spoonful of mixed mustard, a table-spoonful of vinegar, a table-spoonful of mushroom ketchup, and a table-spoonful of port. Simmer the sauce, stirring it all the time, till it is thick. Add the parsley and the walnuts, simmer the sauce a minute longer, and serve. If liked, pickled cucumbers may be used instead of walnuts, and the flavour of the sauce may be varied by the addition of any of the piquant vinegars.
