Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Gravy thread

laughing Pete. There is no 'real food' at all in the UK. France or Italy is where you go for great food in Europe.

You mean deep fried mars bars are considered "great food"?? lol

Getting back to your white gravy, I suppose the nearest thing over here would be an onion/white sauce made with the roux made from the fat of the fried sausages.

Gravy is *always* brown though, deep brown is my personal favourite, although there seems to be a trend now on the cooking shows to have pale almost translucent gravy especially with poultry...

Then there are "jus" which as far a I can tell is washed out gravy somebody is trying to charge $50 for in a fancy restaurant!

don't forget homemade tomater gravy. fry up some thick bacon. pan of fresh cathead biscuits. whoowee! good stuff.

**not tomato sauce gravy** some folks call tomato sauce tomato gravy. i'm talking southern comfort food 'mater gravy.

Never heard of it. Tell us more. miles

I only use corn starch instead of flour in making gravy. Just mix in warm water and pour slowly into pan with drippings. No lumps...nice texture. Try it, you may never use flour again.

Corn starch always makes me think Chinese food sauces.

It certainly works though! And is considerably quicker.

It does leave a sauce clear, depending on other ingredients, and does not develop the nutty richness of roux however.

Works great with pan sauces as it is usually very rich to start.

Arrowroot works great as well.

fry some bacon. pour off excess grease and add flour to make a roux. fresh ripe tomatoes are best but you can use a large can of tomatoes. chopped, seeded and then added to roux along with all the juice. add milk, little at a time. remember to whisk, whisk, whisk. add lots of fresh ground pepper and a little salt. serve over a split homemade biscuit along with the bacon. add eggs if you're working the farm that morning.

some people saute a little onion in the bacon grease. i don't but that's my taste and how i was taught.

I think that I will just slice a tomato and eat it as a side dish. I like sliced home grown tomato's with white gravy and eggs. miles

White gravy rocks. Sausage gravy is so easy to make yet so many manage to [bleep] it up.

White gravy using the quail drippings. I do the same with fried squirrel too.

Spend 1.29 tear open Pgk, add water 1 cup , wisk till it bubbles over med heat

Yuk

LOL!!!!!!

so disappointing...

Good thread. I've taken copious notes. Roux with liquid is a helpful formula. I dunnot why sometimes mine turns out right, other times bland. Far as I know I'm doing the same thing.

Biscuits squirrel n gravy is classic comfort food.

Thanks for the thread, Mannlicher. Your hot-water pastry tip has been the ticket for mini-game pies around here.

Good brown gravy.
