Will someone please explain to a certain stubborn individual the difference between 'a white sauce (ie one that happens to be white)' and 'white sauce'. They are not the same thing!

Hahaha - awesome. You're actually in luck - I am going into business opening up cooking schools for kids. I might branch out into adults (that sounds very wrong :o ) if I can get further funding. I'm also opening up a restaurant early next year hopefully - I won't be doing the cooking though...:D

The term "white sauce" commonly references a type of bechamel - but I guess any sauce that is white could be called a white sauce. The commonly accepted "white sauce" is made from a roux and contains flour...

Philistine. Why would you drown a beautiful cut of meat like that in a thick, rich sauce that smothers the natural flavour of the meat?

All a good fillet steak needs is to be seasoned with course sea salt, pepper and if you are feeling adventurous a splash of Worcestershire sauce.

Quite the contrary. The subtle use of these beautiful ingredients only helps to enhance and compliment the cut...

Some of the worlds most famous dishes incorporate fillet with various sauces

In fact it's probably in the times of the Philistines that fillet was eaten raw and without any accompaniments, straight off the cow....

Worcestershire sauce is pretty strong. I think fillet can be quite bland. I would be thinking of using a marinade.

That's similar to the supposed history of the hamburger - it was ridden under the saddle of horse-riders for hours on end, it broke up and became extremely tender. It was then eaten on bread as a snack during breaks...
