Glorious Gravy
October 21st, 2007
It’s about time there was a post on here celebrating the wonder that is… gravy!
Yes, it’s everyone’s favourite kind of brown, meaty sauce and in a recent survey 79% of respondents said they preferred gravy. 87% said they would rather have gravy on their Sunday roast than hot piss. And in the Bible (Roasts 15:12) did Jesus himself not say “those who pour Bisto on their roast spuds are the most divine in thine eyes, o Lord”? Yes, I think he did.
In light of this, I am declaring this Pouring Beans National Gravy Week-a-thon and I aim to have some gravy at some point this week. Possibly just a big steaming mug of it with my breakfast. Oh yes.
Hooray for gravy!

There was gravy today, it was good.
Better than good it was GRAVY-LICIOUS!

Good to see you’re both getting stuck in so quickly with Pouring Beans National Gravy Week-a-thon. It warms my loins and tickles my cockles.

Are those the kinds of apples you’d see from afar and after looking through a telescope declare they “look good”?

I had GRAVY on chips and pasties for my tea last night. It was super dooperlicious!

Nah then. You divvin’t see yon Nigella buggering about with gravy do you, and McIver goes all gooey eyed when she’s on – he reckons if he imagines hard enough, he can see her nips through her flimsy tee shirt, so much so he loses the power of speech.

You could! In the red top you could clearly see her nips! 😀

Excellent nip-viewing sir.
For my part, I can’t stand the woman and think she should be shot. Nobody should be that smug.

I’m going to start a National Everyone-Smack-Nigella-In-The-Mush-a-thon Week

She is smug, isn’t she? and I don’t know what she has to be so smug about – married to a millionaire, she does have 2 ugly children – they say money doesn’t bring happiness.

I think you’re too hard on the kids I mean they can’t help being the way they look 😛
I think secretly she’s being porked by the camera man in between takes. She’s definitely not getting it from the millionaire man!

No gravy last night by the way, but I was thinking about it as I ate pasta and tried to stop reuben from putting carrots in the toaster.

I went (under pressure) to ikea yeasterday and whilst there we stopped into the cafe for some grub. I had swedish meatballs with chips and the strangest yet nicest gravy i’ve had for a long time!

Ikea gravy is a whole other dimension. It’s not true, honest to goodness British gravy – it’s Swedish and pale and tastes different. But we live in a multicultural society here and, by George, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with saying I too rather enjoy a dousing of Swedish gravy on my meatballs.
Bring it on!
As for Nigella, can we drown her in her own soup?
15. Kevil | October 25th, 2007 at 16:44
Why dont we drown her in crap watery gravy. You know, the kind that’s just like brown boiling water. I for one dont want that shitty gravy on my dinner so lets drown her it that!

Those are the kinds of gravy apples you wouldn’t want pouring in your toilet let alone anywhere near any food you want to eat. Those apples would be spat until kingdom come… which you never hear about these days.
17. Chris | October 26th, 2007 at 09:55
Those are the sort of apples I’d tie up in a sack and throw in a river to drown them.

I just tried searching for ‘loins’ on your webpage and nothing came up. There must be some sort of connection with roads to loins… surely?

*Sings* Gravy, gravy, GRAVY!
Sounds like a lady
Just a sweet to taste
Never let it go to waste
GRAVY!
