"...became Louis XIV's headwaiter" This is the level of much cooking pseudohistory. Ridiculous.--Wetman (talk) 07:57, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How bad is this?[edit]

Although my French is not perfect, reading the French original I see:

This article is just a bad translation of the French article, uncredited.
The French article makes it clear that de la Varenne made the sauce, whereas this makes out (by an inserted 'he') that Béchamel made it.
