 Food coloring ("sukkerkulør", literally "sugar coloring"), soy sauce, and brown cheese (both for colour and taste) are sometimes added.The sauce may acquire different tastes depending on the meat served, as it is common to cook the meat for a while in the sauce before serving.In Sweden ("brunsås") and Finland ("ruskeakastike"), meatballs are usually served with a light brown, thick sauce, prepared in the same manner as sauce espagnole (combining dark brown roux with stock), but attains a lighter colour and smoother consistency due to the addition of cream.
