beef for me please

ainec

?

ainec = and it's not even close.  It's a +1 with a twist.

We used to buy Bisto beef gravy granules, and then suddenly, without warning, they upped and disappeared. Now you can only get Bisto beef gravy granules with onion.


Firefox Spell-checker is crap btw. It never knows what I'm trying to spell.

Bisto Best gravy granules is still available in Beef Red.

It has just come to light that Mrs Red is deceiving me.

What has she been using as a replacement all this time?

About a year ago, she told me she can only get the 'with onion' ones. now she's denying all knowledge of that conversation.

Also, she said I'm a senile old bas**rd.

Bisto beef + beef oxo + balsamic vinegar. Heaven.

Wierdo  ;dingdell;

Lol bisto granules? Have you got no taste buds?   :D

Perfect Gravy

Slice & Dice a small onion, cook over a low heat with oil & a little butter until soft (not brown).
Add water with 2 beef oxo's & bring to the boil reduce heat.
Add juice from roast beef
Take heaped tablespoon of bisto and mix with the left over yorkshire pudding batter + a little water
Return gravy to rolling boil and add the bisto mix and stir... keep stirring or it will go lumpy.  Stir some more and reduce heat.  Bring in somebody to help stirring, small child (stand them on a chair if necessary) or helpful partner if no small children about.
Add a little of the veg water if too thick.
Finally add a small amount of tomato purée (sounds ridic but is incred).

This makes the most amazing gravy, my mum always has something special in the fridge to add, generally some kind of meat jelly which is incred but again sounds wrong.

Simples... thicker the better imo.

Needs to be able to "grip a chip"
If you dunk a chip in your gravy and you come out with a wet chip it's too thin. It should come out with a gravy coat so thick that you can't see the chip through it.

Interesting recipe Sov, going to try the tomato purée some time.

My Mum always makes gravy for beef with Yorkshire Pud batter. Marvellous it is. Just a thickener really, I suppose, but it works.

My wife has been experimenting with adding things like horseradish or mustard straight to the gravey. Very nice it is too

Seen some crazy shit recently, mum put mushrooms in the other day. Was incred. She often puts tomatoes in but as mentioned the purée makes it extra special.

KFC gravy clearly the nuts

flame away

It serves a purpose. I wouldn't want to put it on my Sunday dinner.

guys know how to cook? when did this happen?

Looool been calling someone pudding batter all nite.

I get that it'd work - but left over batter? Simple rule - if there's more Yorkshire pudding batter you didn't make enough Yorkshires or you didn't make them big enough.

For my best gravy I use stock left over from a slow-cooked brisket - stunning flavour. Problem is everyone else likes to use it for making french onion soup so I now freeze some in an ice-cube bag, so I can add a few cubes to enhance any gravy.

Whiskey and port in gravy is nummy!

The consistency seems to be a problem at our KFC . Sometimes too runny and sometimes too thick. Taste is always ok tho

Wise words

Soak! :)

the best gravy product is chicken Bisto gravy granuals, use it for virtually every gravy we require.

Hate gravy - horrible stuff.
