AIBU to say that this meal is *not* a gravy meal

Made shepherd’s pie this evening. Was serving it (with green beans in butter) and DH said “I’ll just make myself some gravy”

AIBU to think that made-from-scratch shepherd’s pie, with its built-in gravy, does not require added bistro? Is this my LTB moment or is that ketchup?

YABU - you can never have too much gravy.

Shepard's pie needs gravy

Grandadwasthatyou · 10/03/2020 19:30

Sorry I agree with DH. I know the pie has it's in built gravy but it's never enough to pour over the rest of the meal.

AntMansVan · 10/03/2020 19:30

I always do gravy with shepherd's pie.

YABU. There’s always room for more gravy. I would like extra gravy for covering the mash topping. Although I’d also be fine with ketchup.

TillyTheTiger · 10/03/2020 19:30

Mmm gravy

PorpentinaScamander · 10/03/2020 19:31

I love gravy or sometimes ketchup on shepherds pie.

Softleftpowerstance · 10/03/2020 19:31

YANBU.

Bisto is rank and has no place on any meal.

APatchyTomCat · 10/03/2020 19:31

Gravy is acceptable.

Can you believe some dirty fecking animals serve baked beans with it Shock

Dozer · 10/03/2020 19:31

YABU!

PurpleDaisies · 10/03/2020 19:31

You need more gravy.

superram · 10/03/2020 19:31

I think it must not have had enough internal gravy. Brown sauce would have helped too.

DameXanaduBramble · 10/03/2020 19:32

Yep, gravy is needed!

Chocolatedeficitdisorder · 10/03/2020 19:32

I agree with your dh, more is gravy required for the mash.

mrsbyers · 10/03/2020 19:32

No gravy , sliced beetroot and cheese though deffo

chocolatespiders · 10/03/2020 19:33

I prefer HP sauce with shepherds pie!

AhoyMrBeaver · 10/03/2020 19:33

YABU. It's a gravy dinner, no doubt about it. What a shock it must have been for him, to realise what he actually married Sad

IslaMann · 10/03/2020 19:33

Def needs gravy.

DressingGownofDoom · 10/03/2020 19:33

No gravy. HP sauce maybe.

Spinbaby · 10/03/2020 19:33

No gravy needed. Definitely no ketchup 🤢🤢🤢🤢

JulietTango · 10/03/2020 19:33

I thought you were going to say it was a curry or salmon or something but shepherds pie, there's absoloutly nothing wrong with adding more gravy to it, the more the merrier.

4amWitchingHour · 10/03/2020 19:33

Gravy is completely unnecessary. Your DH (and apparently most people on this thread) are weird. It's definitely them, not us

Confused
JiltedJohnsJulie · 10/03/2020 19:33

I’d be telling your DH to LTB.

Fuckmesideways · 10/03/2020 19:34

Seems like DH should LTB...
