To be devastated I just broke our gravy jug?

[chopchopchill]

I'm going to have to serve gravy in a measuring jug

Anyone seen the film Kill List? I immediately thought of that

Last minute panics eh?
I’ve just realised I’ve only got 16 cocktail blinis😳

i always serve gravy from a measuring jug it holds more than a gravy jug

Is there another way to serve gravy?

I found out yesterday that for some reason we have 3 gravy jugs.

If you're in East Sussex, pm me if you'd like one of my spare ones.

YABU to call it a gravy jug. They're gravy boats.

YANBU. I bloody love my gravy boat. I remember feeling like I was finally a grown up when I got it.

Ha @LakieLady that's a very kind offer! I'm in Kent so just next door but probably too far

I feel genuinely quite embarrassed

This happened to us one year - not very glam but we used our massive sports direct mug as a substitute!! Not very festive but did the job

I forgot the crackers. As in the table crackers.

"I'm going to have to serve gravy in a measuring jug"

That's what I do all the time it's either plastic measuring jug or standard coffee mug. How attached can you get to gravy mugs??

This will ruin Christmas for everybody and irreparably traumatise all children present for the entire remainder of their lives.

Yes, chop, Christmas is ruined!

Use the teapot - say it's because the lid keeps it hotter for longer. If you must, say you saw it on Mary Berry/Kirstie Allsop and it's the new thing.

I served in a saucepan with a spouty bit one year. I was out of dishes and patience

I've just wrecked our very expensive plates (a wedding gift) by putting them in the microwave to warm them up. Completely forgot that the gold trim is real . There were immediate fireworks. DH now looks like this -> .

chopchop, don't be embarrassed. My parents always had gravy boats (boat shape), however I have a gravy jug - because it's jug shaped!

We can't find the camping table in the garage so half the family may need to eat lunch off their knees.

I have seen kill list but I don't get the reference?

Am I the only person who doesn't like gravy?

@Hezz
Yes in the whole of the U.K.

I have a beeyootiful Denby gravy boat, I'd actually cry if I broke it.

Last night I broke a salad plate while decorating cookies. Thankfully Replacementslimited.com has a shit load of china patterns available including gravy boats FYI My plate replacement cost was very reasonable

I am only cooking for 3 this year but still forgot to get roasties out of top oven! we had them at end! was more organised when cooked for more

There's that really tense dinner party where the hosting couple argue cos he says to his wife "you spent all this time making a lovely meal then you ruin it by serving the sauce in a fucking measuring jug". Or something like that.
