Matelote or Seainan's Sauce is espagnole flavoured with vinous fish - broth and mushrooms. Not to be spelled matelotte. Orange or Bigarade Sauce is characterized by orange juice and peel. Brown Regency Sauce is flavoured by fumet of eel and herbs. Sturgeon Sauce is espagnole flavoured with braise of sturgeon, wine, and mushroom essence.

Saicce Robert is said to bear the name of its inventor, a cook. It has a great reputation in France, perhaps en- hanced by the praise of Eabelais, who called it ‘ la sauce tant salubre et necessaire.’ It also enjoyed a literary reputa- tion, as having given a pseudonymous title to a satirical pamphlet, ‘ La Sauce Robert,’ which was published by an historian of the name of Thiers, cur6 of Champrod, in the diocese of Chartres, against the Vicar-General Robert.

Gravy Sauce for Boast Veal is really gravy thickened with roux and flavoured with mushroomsGravy Sauce for Roast Veal. Finished White Sauces derived from Velout4. Besides b6chamel and allemande sauce, there are a number of sauces derived from veloute, the specificity of which is obtained by the addition of flavours or fumets. Some of these are parallels to brown sauces, and bear the principal names of these, with the difference only of that particular part of the name which indicates that they are derived from white sauce. Italian Sazice is velout6 varied and flavoured by shallots, mushrooms, and olive-oil, the latter probably suggesting the name. Fines Herbes Sauce contains mushrooms, shallots, and parsley.

Norman Matelote or Seaman's Sauce, a parallel to the brown, contains mushrooms, wine, mussels, and oysters.
