Reform, and the death of the Tory Party

[Rusty Nails]

It is gravy, and onions make everything they touch even worse, you aren't really selling it.

I have now lost all the respect I had for you.

When you don't like onions you don't like life.

Just wondering if we need a gravy thread that @C R can pointedly ignore...

 

[Pinno718]

Imagine loosing to the Greens...

Goodwin is a tosser but that annoying git trying childishly to goad him is in another league.

He lost mine with the gravy comment. I might swap him out for Andy on my ignore list.

I have to stick up for @C R here. I'm team "Gravy is the devil's spawn" as well.
My one frustration with the family I have married into is that when we have a roast or suchlike, the meat is always cold by the time it's served. "You just pour gravy on it to warm it up".

No. You serve it hot in the first place. I usually just microwave it to heat it back up again.

Not being able to time serving a meal is unreasonable behaviour and grounds for divorce.

Gravy has it's place. Plaice is not one of them.

Isn't white sauce just milk gravy, and if you add cheese to it it's cheese gravy?

No.

Beer is not hops gravy either.

Beer isn't thickened with starch. The only difference between ordinary gravies and white gravies made with milk is the colour of liquid added... other than that they are fat and starch.

I am sorry but my fish sauce is made from a Roux base with fish stock and white wine. C_R hasn't tried my 'gravy' so he's missed out (if I don't say so myself).
I go to great lengths to make gravy - using my own stock. I prefer to call it sauce.
It's all a bit like Lasagne. If you never ate Lasagne and you get served some greasy mess with a cheesy sauce and it's falling all over the plate, it's disgusting and you would say that you did not like Lasagne.
Same as Shepherd's pie: if it's not made properly, it's foul, a work of the devil. Gravy is the same.

Agreed. Sauce is just posh gravy, the main differential being colour.
If you want to be posh, then it is a jus. If you want to be really posh then it is a reduction.

There's merit in posh gravy. It takes effort, not soluble granules.
