Bread Sauce

Bread sauce has its origins in Medieval England, but it really came back to prominence in Victorian times where it was considered an essential accompaniment to roasted chicken, turkey or other poultry. The idea of a side dish made primarily of bread and milk might seem odd, but it is one of my absolute favorites. Give it a try.
