A Serious Note On Gravy Granules

Archivists and weather freaks will remember this day last year was an absolute scorcher. Today, however, was a typical April’s day. Showers, sun, cloud, hail, wind, quacking ducks, ambient Brain Eno followed by a 25-piece-orchestra-full on-symphony-horror-soundtrack, a broken daffodil, lamb song.

This all meant one thing – a pie and mash supper. But there is always a quandary with a pie and mash supper – the gravy.

There will be no meat juices to siphon off, so it’s either the stock cube/flour/wine method or gravy granules. I kicked Bisto in to touch five years ago. I was never a heavy user – more of a social granuler. The turning point came when I poisoned myself with Bisto Turkey granules. It tasted like French cat food. Never again. "Bisto be gone and do not darken my plate again."

For tonight, I had purchased something new – Marigold Vegetarian Organic Gravy Powder. It’s actually not too bad. Good even. Here’s a link to their website: www.marigoldhealthfoods.com

No funny punchline today. Just a handy recommendation for gravy granules. A useful blog rather than me just yaking on about shit. Bon appetit.
