I guess it comes from having to scrape and scratch for a living and feed kids on a very limited budget.
On your list I only missed potato gravy as a kid. Chocolate and tomato were my favorites. Redeye gravy made from fried balony was another. Sawmill gravy was when you didn't have any flour so used cornmeal instead.
