I'm vegan - so I use Bisto!

You would not like to dine in my house- I do not make gravy because I do not like it.

If I'm roasting beef I don't need any colouring as it's in the sediment left over by the beef. I add cornflour to thicken and the usual veg liquids.
I still use gravy browning for other meats and chicken.

I had to have a lecture from the practise nurse when my cholesterol was high. She was so obese that I couldn't believe she was lecturing me on diet. My BMI is normal. When she asked me how I made gravy I told her I used the juices of the meat and the sucked her teeth disapprovingly.

I found out today that Tesco's no longer sell gravy browning! My local shop doesn't sell it either. However, I can always get it in Morrison's thankfully. I use it every time I make gravy and I think it's the best way to make it with fat from the meat and flour. Is this a sign of the times I wonder? I know my daughter who in her 40 years on the planet has never made gravy in the old fashioned way or any other way come to that! She buys it ready made! Perhaps this is the way of the world now. How do you all make yours?
