Do you mean you started to use Chicken gravy with beef? You make gravy from the fat of the roast you've just cooked surely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasted like what I imagine pouring an ashtray into a glass of water and mixing it into a paste would taste like No, that's lapsang souchong tea you're describing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be really tasty, got to be think gravy though, can’t have any watery gravy’s nonsense. Any meat save for fish, I can probably deal with. Gravy with fish though? Come on! What is wrong with you people?! This is it. Nothing wrong with gravy on chips - provided it's accompanying a meat pie. It's gravy with fish that is the capital offence. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had these smeared onto a tortilla with some pasta sauce and ate it in the back of a Nissan Serena by the side of a road in Luxembourg and then suddenly witnessed a car crash. Weird evening.

And for the record as well:- Mango chutney, whilst don’t really like it, should only be with poppadums only, at most a non-sauce based starter I can accept. I know it can be part of some curry’s but mixed into the sauce to physically make it is different to adding more sauce on top. Correct Apple sauce is wrong generally, but I give as a standard sauce. Stuffing and gravy for pork is the way forward. Incorrect Cranberry can go f*** itself. Shouldn’t be a thing. Incorrect Refried beans - horrible. Why does every f***ing Mexican food want to add beans to it? Correct Cherries - absolute abomination! Ruin pretty much everything they are put in. Incorrect Chocolate and sausage?! Sounds like a euphemism for DHUTWU. Correct But Vimto and milk? No one knows. Although tbh I don’t see how that’s much different to a strawberry milkshake as they’re both just syrups really. Think I’ve seen a side of people that I don’t want to... I have marked this above in bold. You didn’t do very well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they've been so processed that they seem a long way from the original fruit. Which, for me, is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only with pork though and along with stuffing, not instead of. And some beans in Mexican food are great but I don't get the thing with refried beans. Blergh.
