Political correctness gone mad.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Me. Totally agree. Oh and while we're at it, jus and "sauce" generally don't count as gravy.Bruce Rioja wrote:Deary me! Has anyone any piano wire?Prufrock wrote:It's overkill. One or the other. Enough gravy in't pudding. Makes it all soggy.

Well Pru, I would tar & feather you but you'd probably think that was an item too many !!Verbal wrote:Tarring is too good for you.Prufrock wrote:Gravy AND pudding is wrong. Tar me.
I suppose being hung, drawn & quartered would really be a turn-off for you.

Making french onion soup with the stock I made from the ox-tail bones yesterday.
Loving that I'm using English onions too. Take that Sarkozy.

And no. Everything in its place. It certainly isn't an anti-gravy ideal. Just gravy isn't needed with somethings. Chips? Yes. Fish and chips? A little bit, on the chips. Pie and mash? On the mash, but not the pie, coz it makes the the pastry soggy. Sunday roast? On everything but the Yorkshire, which is then dipped in the gravy, so it isn't soggy. The gravy/soggyness avoiding balance is a difficult one.

went out for dinner with friends last night - and they served french onion soup - it was utterly divine - would have been happy just having that (thought the other courses were pretty awesome too!)
Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Not on it, no. On the mash, or chips. Then A forkfull of pie, piled on with gravy covered chips/mash which means you get gravy with the pie, without compromising the structure of the pastry!Worthy4England wrote:Not on the pie???!!!Prufrock wrote:I'll tell her you said that! Just you wait....

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
If you allow sufficient time for the gravy to soften the pastry then you are further charged with 'fecking about with it' and failure to 'wolf it down'. Heinous offences!!!!Prufrock wrote:

I think this is a new low for T-W. Some absolute vitriol coming from the keyboard of prufrock.

This. Verbal, says it all.Verbal wrote:

First Pru, you don't put gravy on a fckg steak pud ... then attempt to rationalise putting some on the chips of chips & fish. To quote Slim Pickens in Blazing Saddles "... I am de-pressed".
I suppose, small mercies & all that, it's to be taken as a Sammy Lee positive that you don't put it on the battered fish. (you DO have your fish battered, don't you ?!)
All that money wasted on your education, formal and informal.
Off to your posh new Gloucestershire ways and don't be coming back.

No pride, some people!
And course my fish is battered, now you're getting personal!
