". . . enhanced with DuBarry Sauce." - what the heck is it?

How many of you BF flyers have scratched your head about this phrase, which on more than one flight for me followed something like "cold lobster". Being a cook myself, and never hearing of DuBarry Sauce (enhanced or otherwise), I took up the challenge to investigate this suspicious condiment.

My findings:

Is DuBarry Sauce a cauliflower-based condiment akin to a soup called "Creme Dubarry"?

"Said to have been named after the Comtesse du Barry, mistress of Louis XV, this term denotes a dish using cauliflower — particularly cooked cauliflower served with cheese sauce. Crème Dubarry is a creamy cauliflower soup."

Or is "du Barry" a style where CO's chefs created this cold sauce to adorn lobster?

du Barry: A dish including cauliflower, named after Madame du Barry, supposedly in reference to her hairstyle, which was made of curls piled high and powdered.

Does anyone have a clue what's in CO's DuBarry Sauce? Inquiring Plat minds want to know . . .
