Vodka sauce, when eaten to access, can cause the spirit of Ethil to possess the body of the person eating it. It has been reported that she can skip from host to host at will. Ethil actually takes over the space in the body and the host's spirit goes to a third place, as of yet unknown. This is why the host has no memory of what has happened while channelling Ethil. Interestingly, Ethil is unable to immitate the host's voice, which can make recognizing the possession much easier. |

Vodka sauce is an Italian sauce made from a relatively smooth tomato sauce, plus cream, vodka, and typical Italian herbs. It gained popularity in the 1970s, when a variation won a national recipe contest in Italy.[citation needed] It is a key ingredient in penne alla vodka, although it may well have been a sauce before its "invention" in the 1970s.
The vodka's function is, ostensibly, to release flavors in the tomato that are normally inaccessible; using alcoholic beverages for this purpose is common in Italian cooking, although this is usually accomplished with wine.[1]
