| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Dec 28 11:34PM +0100 > The sauce post-dates him, though, or at least post-dates his arrival in > Sweden. (Wikipedia says the sauce was created in 1836.) I didn't really suggest that Jean-Baptiste brought the sauce to Sweden. There is a royal connection, though. Filet Oscar (or Veal Oscar as they call it on Wikipedia) was composed to the 25th anniversary of the Swedish King Oscar II. I've noticed that in the US "Oscar" simply means that it is served with Bearnaise. In Sweden you can also expect some aspargus and some shrimps. The original composition had lobster though. All arranged so that is looked like the King's monogram. Whether the cook choose bearnaise, because of the ancestry of the King, I don't know, but I like to believe so. For some reason, Swedish Wikipedia says that it was choron saucse, which is bearnaise with tomato added. English Wikipedia says bearnaise. |
