Rutt's is in one of the JD books, right? (I should be ashamed even to be asking. I am.)

Yes, it's in the beginning of Bad Boy Boogie. No shame, it's been a while.

Looking back I’ve always seen it as one of those completely inauthentic attempts by ex-Raj returnees to reproduce the food they had had while in India and have it in the boarding houses and retirement homes of the south coast towns to which they tended to flock. (Likke 'curry' with raisins.) One of the least subtle garnishes I have met.

I'm not a very subtle garnish, myself!

Danish 'remoulade' sounds like the 'piccalilli' I grew up with in 50s (from jars, maybe even Heinz). See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccalilli. Cauliflower being the dominant ingredient with some pretty unsubtle spicing. Definitely bright yellow..
