Yes. They're potato cakes basically. Very nice with bacon and maple syrup for breakfast.

No. I think that this one is quite difficult, so, a clue. It's something that is also often said of the origin of Cornish pasties.

Veloute and Espagnole, yes. Bearnaise is not one of the five mother sauces.

2pts to Kumabjorn.

Kumabjorn · 05-17-2014, 06:18 AM

Come to think of it Béarnaise is a derivative of Hollandaise so that one would probably be the basic alternative for a sauce based on egg yolk.

Yes, spot on. Bearnaise is a daughter sauce of the mother sauce Hollandaise.

1pt to Kumabjorn.
