"Salsa blanca" is a type of sauce (apparently from Argentina, I have not found references from any other place) made with butter, flour, milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper (really yummy!). Does anyone have a clue on how I could name it in English? any kind of similar sauce...
Thank you in advance for your time...!

White sauce.
This is what I would call it in English.

The addition of nutmeg is a little unusual but a fairly standard term for any sauce made from butter, flour and milk is \"white sauce / a \"white sauce\" in English. Example: \"I\'m going to make a white sauce now and then we\'ll pour it over the XX\". HTH.

: This is how I would call it. I usually prepare "salsa blanca" with nutmeg, as do many people I know in Argentina. "Bechamel" is cooked differently, you put flour in a pan and then add milk, while for "salsa blanca" you put milk to boil and then add flour.

white sauce, bechamel
Believe it or not, it is also called "white sauce" in English. One version is bechamel. http://www.dianaskitchen.com/page/sauce/bechamel.htm

: White Sauce and Bechamel are not the same thing; white sauce is liquid; Bechamel is basically the same but it is cooked in the oven...Bechamel is the baked version of white sauce.

The name bechamel is given to different dishes. You can also find many recipes for a bechamel that is not baked in the oven (as in the reference I provided).

white sauce
This is simply 'white sauce' in English, used in many differnt ways, with vegetables or pasta for example.
Can also be called bechamel sauce if you need a fancier name for it.
