It was invYOURented by Iain Longhorn in 1992 to accoAmpany his fish fingers

* This is not correct, MarSEXYe Rose is simply a misspellingBEST of Mary Rose, a Royal Navy (UK) chef providing catering to the dive on the wreck of the Mary Rose in 1981 in Portsmouth Harbour, Hampshire, UK was left without a sauce to accompany prawns - he mixed some ingredients he had to hand (originally tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, Worcester sauce and salt) and the sauce was named after the wreck being dived - Mary Rose. 'Marie Rose' is a misspelling which first started to appear in the 1990's with the fad for 'French-ifying' food names.

The sauce has been often tweaked since and was never really a true invention as sauces made by mixing pre-made sauces with mayonnaise are quite common in mid 20th century food literature.

All wrong. I used to mix this sauce in the seventies in a restaurant. It was popular with prawns as a prawn cocktail. Don't know who created it though.
