Four Foods on Friday #30
Woo hoo! It is almost Friday! Since I will be busy tomorrow, I thought I would get busy and answer this weeks questions from the Four Foods on Friday meme on Val’s blog, Fun, Crafts and Recipes.
#1. What’s your favorite white beverage? If you don’t have one, what’s your favorite beverage with something white in it? I like white grape juice which I had totally forgotten about and now will need to buy some!
#2. What’s your favorite white gravy, sauce, condiment, dressing or topping? I love white gravy that is put on biscuits and gravy. I have never been able to make it myself.
#3. What’s your favorite white item from the refrigerated section? vanilla bean ice cream and a spoon = heaven
#4. Share a recipe for something white.
I make white sauce when I fry salmon patties.
White Sauce
Melt two tablespoons of margarine or butter in the bottom of a frying pan, on medium high heat. Add two tablespoons of flour and stir with a fork until it thickens. Add milk and bring to a slight simmer. The mixture will thicken as it heats.
I have opinions about everything. I do get compensated for some of my opinions. I'd love to hear your opinion on the things I discuss. Please leave me a comment. For more information about my disclosure policy click

Hi Karen! I make white sauce exactly like that too.. well, I guess it’s not exactly rocket science, huh? LOL! But I do spice it up with some paprika at times, or add chicken stock for flavour, or all that and some cheese to eat with pasta.

White foods never seem to get much attention, do they?
Have you tried crispy white meringue cookies? They’re even more heavenly with the addition of a few (okay, many) chocolate chips.

I’m right there with ya on the vanilla bean ice cream! Yum!
I’d never heard of putting white sauce on salmon patties, that sounds good.

You’re right about the skim milk! Whole drinkers say skim tastes like water. LOL That white sauce recipe looks good. I might try that when I make shrimp next week!

I’ll have to try your white sauce when I make salmon patties.
And I forgot about white grape juice, too. That is good!

I’d pick a nice alfredo sauce… but I like béchamel (the sauce you described) too.

Biscuits with white gravy & sausage = one of my favorite comfort foods. We should get together for breakfast some day!
