Albert sauce is a sauce used principally in British cuisine to enhance the flavour of braised beef. It consists of grated horseradish in a clear bouillon, thickened with cream and egg yolks, and spiced with a little prepared mustard diluted in vinegar.
It is named after Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Queen Victoria's prince consort.
Famous quotes containing the words albert and/or sauce:
“It takes a heap o’ livin’ in a house t’ make it home,
A heap o’ sun an’ shadder, an’ ye sometimes have t’ roam
Afore ye really ‘preciate the things ye lef’ behind,
An’ hunger fer ‘em somehow, with ‘em allus on yer mind.”
—Edgar Albert Guest (1881–1959)
“To feed were best at home;
From thence, the sauce to meat is ceremony;
Meeting were bare without it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
