Pork chops and applesauce

Pork chops and applesauce is a traditional dish in Spanish and British cuisine consisting of cooked pork chops and apple sauce.[1][2][3][a] The pork chops can be pan-fried, baked or broiled, and the meat is sometimes breaded prior to cooking.[5][6][7] Some people consider the dish to be a comfort food.[8][9]

History[]

Pork chops and applesauce has been consumed in the United States since at least the 1890s.[10] In the play, "Our American Cousin," attended by Abraham Lincoln on the night of his assassination, Asa speaks the line - "Now I've no fortune, but I'm filling over with affections which I'm ready to pour out all over you like apple sass, over roast pork."[11]

In popular culture[]

In episode #55 of The Brady Bunch titled "The Personality Kid" that aired in 1971, the phrase "pork chops and applesauce" is stated by Peter Brady (played by Christopher Knight) using an impression of the voice of Humphrey Bogart.[12][13] It has been described as a famous catchphrase of the television show.[14]

In The Simpsons first Treehouse of Horror (The Simpsons episode), Homer admonishes Kang and Kodos to "get some applesauce out here for these pork chops." The scene itself is a reference to The Twilight Zone episode To Serve Man (The Twilight Zone).
