Instant Gravy

[Andyprince]

Why do gravy granules taste of metal to me but other people say it's fine ?

[Mamyalynne]

My homemade gravy is divine too, they fight over the gravy boat - but that's when I've cooked a joint etc - there's never any stock left for freezing into batches afterwards, it all gets devoured.

When we have sausage n mash i fry some onions off and add bisto's onion gravy to it and let it simmer ..it makes a tasty gravy

[diddlydo]

I would never serve gravy with bangers and mash - gravy is for roast lunches only.

I don't know if it's still available, but there used to be some sort of 'block' of condensed gravy like stuff. In a yellow plastic container I think.
It was rock solid and trying to cut a slice off it was nigh on impossible!!
(It was then introduced to boiling water from the kettle)

Must be fun in your house diddlydo!!

"gravy is for roast lunches only"
Says who?

[Mamyalynne]

I recall something like that, I used to use a grater.

[ummmm]

Diddly - but many people do.

[Mamyalynne]

Chips,peas n gravy - yum.

[diddlydo]

OK - in our house, gravy is only served with roast lunch and no-one has ever complained.

[albaqwerty]

roast lunches only?
not for roast dinners then?

Next you'll be telling us that you can't have yorkies with a roast chicken !!

Please answer Ummm's Q about how you make your gravy diddly.

[albaqwerty]

oh, am sure there should have been a comma, sorry Diddly x

[murraymints]

make own if cooking a roast..just add seasoning and a thickening agent maybe bit of something sweet..otherwise granules beefed up with black pepper and honey/port/wine/

[Islay]

Alba mother used to make her stoves using the gravy block

[diddlydo]

Try reading the whole thread - I've already answered Ummm's question on previous page.

My DiL has gravy with fish and chips. She says it's northern thing.

[albaqwerty]

Islay, I haven't seen it for years.
Solid and deeply flavoured. Decent stuff imo.

[murraymints]

[mazie]

I know Minty, makes me feel sick, but, each to their own. She loves it
