Dribble It On - Momma Gravy

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I have never mastered the art of making gravy from scratch. Don't get me wrong, I can do it if I'm actually following a recipe in a book, but make me rely on my own skills and I always seem to get some thin, oily, flavourless slop Gravy is just one of those things I'm no good at . Lucky for me then that I don't have to be good at it - there are various instant gravies available, the best known brand being Bisto, which has been around since 1908.

Perhaps in some homes only to make an appearance once or twice a week with the sunday roast or perhaps with a dinner such as Bangers and mash.. Well ..a couple of shops ago while picking my online order at tesco.com ,I had finished the shop all except going through check out when I remembered that I had run out of gravy during the week. So I thought i'd add some quick but seeing as I always shop to an exact budget and an average price for 200ml of instant gravy can be around 0.70p to just over £1.00 ,It was looking like I might have to take out one of my smaller items to free up some change for the gravy ... However as I am one of those who doesn't usually make gravy anymore... Read review
