So was this the heretical caper-butter, La Varenne version of sauce Bob,
or the medieval syrupy caramelized onion, mustard-verjuice gravy
version? I note with interest that modern versions of the sauce, such as
you'll find in sources from Escoffier and Louis Diat to Julia Child, use
a recipe much more like the medieval one than La Varenne's. Not that I'd
complain about the heretical one if it was on a plate in front of me,
mind you.
