Bearnaise tasteless? Where did this happen to you? We will send the
Swedish Sauce Police to that place! It is a serious offense to
serve the Swedish National Sauce without taste!
 
 
ObTrivia: is there a particular reason why Bearnaise qualifies as the
National Sauce of Sweden, beyond being popular with the Swedes?

I didn't think it was correct but I couldn't think of anything else.
