I doubt there's any place in the world where you would just walk in and
get cameline or jance sauce, or black sauce (made with blood and bread). But
it suddenly occurs to me (in considering fourteenth century Belgian food)
that I've had at least one sauce that was known in the time: green sauce.
Regrettably it was with eels, which don't really need a slick green sauce
to add to their inherent sliminess.

Still, green sauce it was and probably not much different from what was
made in the fourteenth century.
Any other sauces people can think of that have pretty much survived as is
from those centuries?
