Honestly, fill a Yorkshire pud with gravy then drop a couple of anchovies in so they kinda float about it and bob up and down, slice it open and watch as they sloosh all over the carrots and peas. Can't beat it. Spoiler For the love of God, please nobody actually try this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather would never have a meal that involved gravy without 2 thickly cut by hand half slices of bread to mop up the remaining gravy at the end of a meal. I suspect this was living through two world wars and the depression that caused him to be like that but for him it was the absolute highlight of the meal 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up in Devon I was told it was a Northern thing as he was from Sheffield but the in laws are Cheshire based and don't approve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 22, 2020 Highlight of lamb is 100% the mopping up of the remaining mint sauce and gravy with a slice of bread. It's also impossible to recreate this at the end of the meal by mixing unused mint sauce and remaining gravy directly on the plate. For some reason it has to be filtered through a roast dinner to reach the optimum consistency. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to experiment in life. I've never done, y'know, a tinned curry pie before. It was there on the bottom shelf taunting me, the dirty minx. I was helpless to resist the siren call of a lockdown lunch tryst. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
