Yes.

RebelRogue · 13/04/2018 23:09

Gravy in general is gross.

Ikea isn't gravy it's a cream sauce. In store they use UHT cream and it's gopping, but buy the packet mix from Sweden Shop and make it with fresh cream and it is gorgeous!

If it helps I never have gravy from anywhere except from people I know and love. This exemption includes school gravy, restaurant/pub gravy and bought meat pies.

KFC gravy almost reminds me of the chip shop gravy you get up north, I miss it in London so kfc is the only one that’s kind of close although not quite.

Yabu!

I love KFC gravy Blush
But I am a bit of a gravy fiend tbh. Can regularly be found knocking together a wee mug of bisto to go with my dinner.

Never tried Ikea gravy though, sounds not very nice from the description above though

I don't care about the IKEA gravy OP (which incidently is gross). I care about the old style meatballs. I liked them and tried to recreate them, lots of beef and pork combinations. Ridiculous amounts of dill and seasoning. Not working. Then I find out they had horse meat in! Flipping horse! No wonder I couldn't make mine taste like theirs.

They aren't the same now. I don't generally condone eating horse you think is beef by the way.

KFc do gravy?

Poshjock · 13/04/2018 23:39

I love Graddsas, sorry. Blush

unicornandrainbows · 13/04/2018 23:39

Yabvu kfc gravy is the best bit of kfc!!!

RainbowDashian · 13/04/2018 23:45

I wouldn't go as far as gross but I have had better.
What makes an acceptable gravy OP?

condepetie · 13/04/2018 23:48

I don't like gravy in general.

I've never had the USA's white gravy and would give it a go, but it does look disgusting.

Homemade or granules for me, I don’t like the flavour watered down taste. Feel a bit embarassed to admit it as a Yorkshire lass but I’m not mad keen on gravy on chips!

@colours i bet you can order frozen horse from France. Absolutely would if i could afford it!

DamnWhyAreAllTheUsernamesTaken · 13/04/2018 23:51

KFC gravy though 😍 work of the gods, never had Ikea gravy so unable to comment..

condepetie · 13/04/2018 23:51

@OP the white gravy is ground pork, flour and milk, as far as I know. Like a piggy bechamel, I guess?

condepetie · 13/04/2018 23:53

This is it. Honestly it's a meaty bechamel and I'll take that over brown meat slurry or gravy granules any day.

Weird that they put it on scones though.

Herja · 13/04/2018 23:53

I really need chips and gravy now...

PurpleSea · 14/04/2018 00:27

YABU! KFC gravy is lovely!

CadyHeron · 14/04/2018 02:14

As a Northerner, gravy to me is the stuff that comes with your Sunday dinner and over your Yorkie puddings.
Brown.
This biscuit and gravy I keep seeing on Pinterest. It's not a biscuit, and it's not gravy! Grin
scone and white sauce is what it is is what it is

bluetongue · 14/04/2018 02:29

Love the IKEA gravy but I’m in Australia and wonder if they make it differently here.

CadyHeron · 14/04/2018 02:35

What's Australian gravy? (genuine question!)
IKEA gravy seems to not be gravy too. (Quick google.)
Gravy is the brown, meaty stuff!
Others alllook to be cream sauce efforts.
