Today while at the cash registers with some coworkers, we were looking at a cookbook recipe that required coconut.

One coworker immediately protested the recipe, claiming an intense hatred of coconut.

The other pointed out that it required not actual coconut, but coconut sauce. The offended coworker raised a brow and began to concede to this, until I raised the question:

"But think about this...would the sauce of Hitler be any less evil than Hitler himself?"

Some might argue that sauces are created without sin. However, it's also arguable that an evil mind would create an evil sauce.

Discuss.

Depends on why you hate what you hate? Does he/she hate the coconut for its taste? Or its look? Its feel? Coconut sauce doesn't apply to all of them so its depending on how you hate what you hate it. audoadn tongue twister.

If you made paper sauce, could you write or print upon it?

If you made hammer sauce, could you smite a foe with it?

Can you install a game sauce? Is Worcestershire sauce still a county in England?

By the powers invested in me I hereby declare that all sauces were created equal, for better or worse, now and forever, amen.

This is not always the case, as I'm fairly certain the people of Worcestershire, England can attest that thier sauce is not made from them or thier realestate.

Just as girl scout cookes are, sadly, not made from real girl scouts.

I would argue that while a person's alignment can affect the results of his cooking, that it is not applicable to the argument at hand.

If the sauce is indeed made of coconut, even the smallest amount, the sauce is indeed tainted in the tastes of the haters of coconut. However if the dish is merely named coconut sauce, any such taint is a figment in the mind of the taste.

For the issue is not one of taint or lack thereof, but the human reaction to perception of taint.
