American gravy

[sherrardk]

Just watching Man v Food and they are talking about gravy - it looks disgusting, some sort of grey, thick sauce. What is it? Thanks

why are you watching gravy at this time of night, LOL?

According to Wikipedia, they do some very strange things with gravy in the southern USA ;-)

According to Stephen Fry americans don't understand coffee, biscuits, cheese, bread or gravy.

. . . while we simply don't understand Americans, Scotman! ;-)

Judging from cookery programmes I have seen, they don't get bacon either.

Aww gee, that egg gravy on Chris' link sounds revolting.

[sherrardk]

I don't do eggs or gravy so I'm not even looking.

Gravy with rice? (swoons gracefully onto the chaise longue)

Errr...what's the problem? If you don't have Bisto...you would make a roux and mix with your meat juices...yes?

Egg gravy does sound very weird,though.....

[DaisyNonna]

Bisto is banned in my kitchen.

I LOVE Man v Food, how does he eat so much?! and really spicy things too..

One popular breakfast in america is biscuits with sausage gravy - their biscuits are more like an unsweetened scone, you fry the sausages unil the fat comes out, mix it to a roux with flour and then add milk to make what we call a white sauce.

Man vs Food, it's the toilet I feel sorry for.
