Bread and gravy

It's just as well I didn't do an "in praise of roast dinners" early on, as I've been able to parlay this up into in praise of horseradish sauce, apple sauce, Yorkshire puddings, and now this. That's more love for roast dinners than I've given to virtually anything else. Remind me why I'm fat again...

My personal favourite way to end a roast, since I was about 10 years old, is to pour the leftover gravy on my plate, slice a hunk of bread, put in middle of plate, turn it over, ensure well-soaked, tuck in.

Some people consider this disgusting. Personally I'd have it as my last meal. Works best with great chicken gravy and homemade sourdough, though last night's pork gravy and crusty white certainly passed muster.

  1. Bread and gravy after a lamb and mint dinner is probably the best I have ever tasted.
    Shifnal isn't bad I am only down the road in Codsall.

  2. Welcome James. Shifnal's very fine. Though not as good as bread and gravy, obviously...
