I had posted the message below to the Atlantia list and Baroness Julia  
Windsor replied with:
"Perhaps a nice white wine and butter sauce.".

So, what is a white wine and butter sauce? Is it just white wine and  
butter whisked together? Is it emulsified? Is it period?

I also stated below that I thought bechamel sauce was post-period. Is  
it?

Thanks,
   Stefan

===================
Ah! Okay. However, I believe that b?chamel is post-period.

I wonder if a fruit sauce or maybe something made with verjuice might  
be more appropriate.

something that goes with pork loin...something a bit tart, with apples
maybe.
