If you’re like me, when you hear the term sauce migration you just have to laugh. Actually, if you’re like anyone, when you hear the term sauce migration you just have to laugh.
When it comes to terms that make the average person laugh, you can’t beat the food industry. It’s the food industry, after all, that gave us cheese food (an extremely helpful distinction for those of us who also keep cheese pets), pita pocket (when you don’t feel like carrying a pita clutch purse), and Tater Tots (which was overwhelmingly preferred in marketing surveys to the second-place finisher, Tuber Youths). For me, however, it’s still sauce migration that takes the low-fat, preservative- free cake.
But what does sauce migration actually mean? And if that isn’t mystifying enough, what about foam performance, creep compliance, and salted snack food dough extrusion?
