[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading about mumbo for the very first time in my life right here in this thread.  Both my parents attended school here in DC (Dad, GU '68; Mom, Dunbarton College, '72) and I was born at Georgetown in '73.  We have since lived in Arlington and McLean.  I went away for college and grad school and have been back here since 1999.  I am 45, married, and have two kids and still live in Fairfax County.  Never heard of mumbo sauce until reading this thread.  Do I live an easy life?  Outside the parameters and bald facts lists here?  No, I do not.  But the fact that I have never heard of a condiment will render others to put me in one category or another.  [/quote]

The upbringing you describe is pretty removed from DC carry out culture (14th, 16th streets Mt pleasant anacostia. [/quote]

I think that's the case for most of the posters on this thread.[/quote]

The question in the title of the thread is “are you from here” not “are you from a neighborhood where mumbo sauce is common.”  You may not like it, but white people born in DC and raised in upper NW are DC “natives.” The fact that many of them have not heard of mumbo sauce doesn’t mean they aren’t natives; it means that mumbo sauce wasn’t common in the area of the city they grew up in.
