It came two days ago in Lytham, where I discovered gravy on chip shop fish. Genuine game changer. Makes the batter melt in your mouth. Great, so now I cant read up on the cricket either. Is that for real? Awesome if so! And also an FACTual evidence of True Gravy Law Edit - just been over to add a like to the BBC gravy page comment.

I've got to say the orange chips are amazing. You can get them from that Chippy in Grand Central above new Street Station. They are beautiful, but I've never been able to eat a tray (I know............a tray ) without feeling sick. They are so rich. I mean Battered Chips, it's ludicrous.

They'd probably even hold up after being covered in gravy, or the correct choice of curry sauce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 First time I went to America I ordered biscuits and gravy for breakfast, my girlfriend told me not to because it wasn’t what I thought it would be. She was 100% correct, I have no idea to this day what it was but it was not biscuits, and it was not gravy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
