词汇 | mornay sauce |
词源 | Mornay sauce. French Protestant leader Philippe de Mornay (1549–1623) invented sauce Mornay for King Henry IV. Made with fish broth, the white sauce is enriched with Parmesan and Gruyere cheese and butter. Popularly known as the Protestant Pope, Mornay was Henry’s right-hand man until the king con- verted to Catholicism and the Seigneur Duplessis-Mornay fell out of favor. After Henry’s assassination, Louis XIII finally re- tired Mornay as governor of Saumur because of his opposition to the government’s rapprochement with Catholic Spain. Mor- nay’s spiritual writings and organizing abilities strongly influ- enced the development of a Protestant party in France. |
