I make gravy, too.

I’ve been known to use the veg water and the granules together for gravy 😳

My mum made us drink it, to help our pimply skin.

My partner drinks it. 😂 He doesn’t waste a thing.

My Dad used to drink cabbage water unless Mum had used it for gravy.

When all the family lived at home I used to freeze veg water to use as stock in soup.

I think some people use those granules.

I have just read an article about wartime food and rationing.
It stated that the old fashioned habit of using the water from cooking vegetables was nutritious.
I don’t see it as an old fashioned habit, how do you make gravy otherwise?
