Where do we stand on this? Food of the gods or utter shite?
Former for me, the thicker and saltier the better

It's a must and I want it exactly how you described yours.
I didn't properly get it until I tried some proper stuff (Bisto is so shit), it was glorious.
American 'gravy' is a shambles though.
I can't have a chippy - or pretty much even any form of potatoes - without it.Originally Posted by Giggles
Amazing. Especially when made with the juices of the meat.
I can be a right pretentious ponce with most foods but gravy is off limits for me. Bisto gives me the same gravy hit as any home made one.
Gravy is top tier food stuff. I don't mind if its not very thick as long as it has flavour, if its piss consistency then it ruins a meal though.
If I've no meat juice, a red onion with some water and a squeeze of tomato puree does the job for stirring some bisto into. A spoon of Bovril does wonders in it also
Tesco do nice pouches of ready made stuff too.
Gravy should be made from proper stock from a joint, not powdered processed wank.
The proper thick stuff you get out of the chippy or chinese.
The Chinese stuff up your way is amazing gear. They use dried blood in it and all and it's so thick you could tar roads with itThe proper thick stuff you get out of the chippy or chinese.
As in KFC style gravy? Or the white shit they also seem to call gravy?
Stop trying to make everything middle class.
I like that KFC one. It's nice and peppery and it's always thick.
KFC gravy is great.
Yep KFC gravy is very high up the list.
Not wanting to eat ground abortions isn't middle class.
I like my gravy thin and intensely flavoursome. I can understand the appeal of that northern stuff but I wouldn't want it with a proper meal.
So what you're saying is you prefer jus? Francophile!
For a roast, I like it the thicker end of runny. For chips, northern stylee, I like it barely liquid. Watery piss gravy can do one.
Watery stuff is a crime against food.
I get round that problem by not sourcing it from the local latrines.
KFC gravy is made from all the bits of chicken and breading that get stuck to the inside of the fryer, retrieved when they're cleaning it out. It's amazing stuff though, probably the best single item sold by any fast food place.
Have you guys ever had Hawaiian BBQ? It's popular in California and one of the restaurants has a dish called the Loco Moco which is a beef patty with two sunny side up eggs over it, a lot of gravy, side of steamed rice and macaroni salad.
Fuck off you monstrous cunt.
That looks like the 5am leftovers from a service station buffet shoved into a box.
'A lot of gravy'
Lol at gravy on eggs and gravy with rice. Utterly appalling.
Looks like someone cleaned off a few plates into a tub for dumping.
That white American sausage gravy looks pretty great, even if it could no doubt be put to better use than with 'biscuits'.
Lol it really does.
I prefer my gravy watery but made from meat stock or even some left over skins of roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and the like. Phenomenal.
Settle down posh cunt.
Amirite lads.
I like thick gravy (liquid, not so thick you have to wait ten minutes for it to pour). Gravy on sausage and mash is great, gravy on a roast even better. I have it on chips once a year or something when I'm feeling adventurous(!).
Gravy on an egg is the maddest thing I've ever seen.
Gravy on eggs, on a burger, with some rice and pasta salad?
There are no words.
It's not even the maddest thing in that photo. Rice and pasta in the same dish is properly bonkers.
And let's not forget Hammer puts gravy on his pancakes.
The white shit.
KFC gravy is fucking glorious.
Ok so the responses to that contribution were admittedly more negative than I expected. However, 5am leftovers is definitely the vibe the restaurant is going for, and I've never been there before midnight in my life. It's fucking incredible and I have 2 stickers on my laptop from that place cause I practice what I preach
If it's literally a bunch of leftovers from normal meals that they put into a combo box and sell to the inebriated at two in the morning, then I gain respect for them and their business nous.
Given there are people on here who advocate putting a whole pie into a sandwich I'm no longer surprised. Actually it's a wonder there aren't chips in there too.
Who does what now?
EDIT: Savoury pancakes in general are just fucking weird.
Mate...
I wasn't aware you normally get gravy with chips and that sort of thing, except I know the Canadians do that with some sort of Cheese M&M's on top as well.
Just gravy in general is great though, so I don't see why not. For me it's more a component of roast dinners and christmas turkey, etc.
And whilst I'd be happy dipping my chips in gravy, I'm not sure how I'd feel about them coming drenched in it, as I do like my chips to be a bit crispy, ideally (though it can ocassionally be nice with these american diner type varieties where they drench them in cheese and jalapenos and the such, so maybe if it's a bit like that then why not).
Also do you count other types of gravy? like the onion stuff you'd get with bangers & mash? cause that is lovely as well, but feels a little more contextual.
Lol they aren't real pancakes. Just like duck pancakes aren't.
These are pancakes, nothing else:
I'm about as appalled at rice with pasta, as I was with a chip butty.
If you're American.Lol they aren't real pancakes. Just like duck pancakes aren't.

^hahahaha
Let's get a fuckin meme thread going.
To the joyless cretins out there who will try to shut me down, go suck a fat chode
Just by looking at this picture I'm able to adequately deduce that I hate you and every person you've ever been in close proximity too.Have you guys ever had Hawaiian BBQ? It's popular in California and one of the restaurants has a dish called the Loco Moco which is a beef patty with two sunny side up eggs over it, a lot of gravy, side of steamed rice and macaroni salad.
Every takeaway that anyone has ever posted on this place has looked fucking rank.
