AIBU to demand everyone should have gravy on their breakfast

[StephiD3]

Just experienced a Toby Carvery breakfast for the first time. They have gravy. And Yorkshire puddings. For breakfast. I feel like crying with happiness it was so delicious.

(DH said I was eating like it was my first meal after coming out of the jungle )

I hate it when you go somewhere for Sunday roast at someone's house and you only get a tiny bit of gravy. Mean!

I agree, @CavoliRiscaldati - it would be awful if the meat was dry and tough, but it isn't.

I do occasionally make gravy from scratch, for special occasions (generally just once a year, at Christmas) and that is nice, but I don't have much of it even then - I like to taste the different things on my plate, without them all tasting of gravy, and I like the crispy things, like the roast potatoes and yorkshires, to stay crispy.

Ohhh god, I am turning into my mother!! I haven't banned dh and the dses from having gravy whenever they want it, but I do find myself thinking what she used to say - why did I bother cooking something nice if it is going to be drowned in Bisto? Help - kill me now!!

The worst type of gravy is jus.

I went for Sunday lunch with relatives in a pub down South and got given the teeniest pot of gravy (note: more or less clear runny jus), a steak piece and boiled, BOILED potatoes. A silent tear may have fell onto my plate in disappointment 😢

Jus is an abomination masquerading as gravy. 'Piss watter with pretensions' my grandad called it 😊

We went to a breakfast buffet in the States which was really the lunch set up with some breakfast items as well, the children were in heaven. The photo of granddaughter eating an ice-cream with a sausage stuck in it will haunt her when she's older.

OP do they still do that amazing potato hash with roasties, garlic, onion and cheese? That’s the stuff dreams are made of

Niceandwarm I'm impressed that there's somewhere that does veggie roasts!
I do love gravy though

slippynips it has bacon in now too

I love Toby for lunch and brekky. Sadly my local one has closed and turned into some kind of steakhouse. I'm all for a bit of steak but there are loads of places I can get a really good one. Not many decent carveries about. It was a bit hit and miss but on a good day it was fab!

Apparently now KFC have run out of gravy as well as chicken. Only just discovered how lush KFC gravy is and then it all went tits up!

YABVVVVVVVVVVVU I am not having gravy for breakfast.

I’m having roast dinner for tea too.

Living the life 😎

Thanks entirely to this thread, I have just had individual,Yorkshire’s with golden syrup for pudding. It has blown the diet out of the water, but I do not care. We have drifts of snow knee deep outside the house, dh is away until tomorrow - and will only get home if the airport reopens, and I don’t think the cat has been outdoors in 48 hours (I don’t know if he is crapping and peeing in the house, or if he just has truly ironclad self control) - and I spent ages shovelling out paths yesterday and today, only for it to bastarding snow again, so I deserved every single, delicious, sweet, crunchy calorie.

Hmmm. I'm pondering Ben & Jerry's caramel chew chew ice cream in a Yorkshire with syrup on now......

SDT has give. Us the answer to the no gravy brigade! why did I bother cooking something nice if it is going to be drowned in Bisto? Help - kill me now! Bisto is not gravy! Proper gravy is delicious and doesn’t make everything taste the same at all. Bistro is vile and chemically and spoils everything.

Toby breakfast gravy is ketchup gravy.

It's OK
Not a fan of Dry food so I get to eat more 😂

Loyaul - oh yes, it's quite popular now!! Varies massively though. Sometimes it's a fab nut roast or mushroom Wellington or something. Other times it's just extra veg (insert sad wah wah wah trumpet noise here)

Proper gravy has lovely meat juices in

Don’t know how I feel about syrup on yorkies, but I’m not a sweet person. I bet my kids would love that though!

If I’d had cream, I would have had whipped cream with my Yorkshires and golden syrup.

Incidentally - the best thing I ever saw at a hotel breakfast was the accompaniments for the porridge - there was cream, and golden syrup, and Bell’s whisky! I had my porridge with cream and syrup, but felt that before 9am was a bit early for whisky - and it wasn’t even nice whisky.

I’m so envious reading about Toby Carvery. We don’t have one anywhere remotely near to us

DS would kill for that. I could pour gravy on a shoe an he'd eat it.
