Trottlebee is an elixir composed of frim fram sauce with the ausen fay–with chafafah on the side.  Just kidding….  I’ll share the recipe in coming weeks.  Until then, enjoy Frim Fram Sauce (link to song), an American classic by an American classic.  From the days when song lyrics had to be clever and clean … Imagine that.

Nat King Cole Trio – October 1945
(Oscar Moore on guitar, Johnny Miller on bass and Nat at the piano)

I don’t want French fried potatoes,
Red ripe tomatoes,
I’m never satisfied.
I want the frim-fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafah on the side.

I don’t want pork chops and bacon,
That won’t awaken
My appetite inside.
I want the frim-fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafah on the side.

Now a fella’s really got to eat
And a fella should eat right.
Five will get you ten
I’m gonna feed myself right tonight.

I don’t want fish cakes and rye bread,
You heard what I said.
Waiter, please serve mine fried
I want the frim-fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafah on the side.

~Now if you don’t have it, just bring me a check for the water.~
