I have mentioned before my dependence on gravy granules due to my ineptitude. I saw some very, very cheap own brand granules, 30p, and decided to give them a whirl.
The granules themselves don't look like Bisto or my usual brand and when made up the gravy neither looks nor smells like them either.
The gravy is EXACTLY the same as the 'home made' gravy used at Warner's Hotels.
I like it.
My mum made gravy with flour and gravy granules, it was lovely. She used to give it us to drink if she had enough. We used corn flour for making sweet white sauce and she sometimes put in it shortbread.
Atheist, I was once round at my son's home because a surveyor was coming around and my son had a works meeting. I offered him a coffee. He drank a little of the coffee and after a while said I don't think you have given me coffee. Not being familiar with sons kitchen I had given him a nice cup of gravy granules with milk snd 2 sugars.
Really Atheist, that's interesting. I found it embarrassing but the chap laughed and said it didn't taste that bad. I never saw that episode of Fools and Horses.
