Gravy? WTF?

ChewChew

Ok so here's the deal.

As most of you BGRH brothers and indeed brotherettes know, I are a wimmins. But I can sit back, enjoy the beers, the craic and sure even a pork knuckle if it draws down to it.

I'm not afraid to tuck into a rare sirloin steak or even a mexical pizza introduced to me by Tom Dunne. Nope. I'm not a girlie girl. I am not a wuss.

I believe I am more on the lines of Pink Fluffy Bunny. . . A brother more so than a brotherette (not on the generous food givings of course). PFB all the more deserving of both titles indeed.

But I have 2 problems. And one which has already been identified as being a big enough problem for the elder brethern to comprehend. Rashers. I just cant go there again. Vile little slivers of pig insides. We'll say no more.

But another issue I have failed to bring to my brothers attention is Gravy. I dont understand gravy. I dont like gravy. I will never eat or drink or whatever yuor supposed to do with gravy.

It's not right. It's a weird concoction of meat juice, red wine and whatever else you fancy nancys put in it.

what brought this to the tip of my tongue was an add on TV for bisto. Gravy and chips? :eek: why? who? and most importantly HOW?? Chips would be ruined.

I understand some of your eyes might hurt while reading this, and the urge to slate me be on your finger tips but I beg you to remember, behind it all I are a wimmins. But I just want to know. . .

AM I WEIRD??? AM I??

. . discuss. . .:)

That became very obvious as your post went on.

:eek: Take the juices from a lovely bit of roast, add a pinch of salt, some bisto and some boiling water and you have gravy fit for a King smashey. :cool:

Gravy complements everything.

Cheese curds and gravy on chips? I definitely think there is a case for Quebec being separated from the rest of Canada!

If you like curry chips then think of gravy as non-spicy curry sauce until you realise what you have been missing.

even vegetarians like gravy there are thousands of recipes for gravy without meat :eek:

how can you say that you are less of a BGRHer than a veggie ??

have you ever had christmas dinner?
what do you put on everything then?

Ha class, you legend.

I'm a gurl too and I do be weak for de aul gravy mmmmmmmm.

How I describe it is like being a meaty soupy steak on your chips.

However I am picky...I couldn't let the chips go too soggy so if I was getting it from a chinese or anything I'd ask for the sauce separate.

You'd prob puke though if you had my christmas day gravy! The juices, giblets, veg and garlic all mixed up strained and then thickened mmmmmmmmmm.

Do you use any sauces on Sunday dinnery type dinners?

Seraphicblue

Om NOM NOM NOM!
Nic, i'm convincing teh wimmin to make a gravy like that soon

I love gravy with a roast dinner, it helps the potatoes without lashing loads of butter into them, it keeps your dinner hotter, it prevents dinner from being dry.

Gets the thumbs up from me.

I used to be a ketchup freak, put it on everything, seriously everything from roast dinners to chicken curries. I have ditched the ketchup and good bit but have kept the gravy.

I however don't agree with chips and gravy, they'd be all soggy.

Era tis a fairly manly job is makin gravy...and a roast... try it, imagine the smile on her little face

If I’m doin Turkey I throw these at the bottom of the roasting tray (chop um all in half no to release the flavours, simple)- 2 onions, 2 carrots, 2 stick of celery, bulb of garlic, sprigs of rosemary, giblets….you could prob do it with other meats too like roast beef, roast chicken, leg of lamb (if I'm doin the lamb spread a bit of mustard on it) mmmmmmm….Oh and if you want to maintain the gut throw a load of butter under the skin of the turkey. And below is how to do the gravy.
Remove the turkey and place the baking tray onto a hob.
Spoon off half the fat. Add two dessert spoons of flour to thicken the sauce and bring to the boil.
Smash up all the veg and giblets with a potato masher.
Add 2 pints of good quality stock, simmer for 10 minutes.
Sieve the gravy and serve.

I really think the original poster should try this too. I'm still dying to know if you like other sauces?
