Oh my God you guys...coconut marshmallows!! Is this another one of those American nasties like 'white gravy' on biscuits or fried Okra!!?? EWWWWWW! Hey - can't have a decent gumbo w/o the okra!!! Admittedly I like *brown* gravy on my biscuits..... ;D Down south it is not "white gravy." It is "red-eye gravy." Don't know why. But to be authentic one must add sausage in the gravy, and I think use the sausage grease rather than butter in the recipe. Not being a native of the south, that is what people tell me. |

And brown gravy goes on mashed potatoes or roast beef.... white gravy with lots of black pepper belongs on biscuits. And coconut anything is pure heaven !!! [grin] I bet you like grits too.  |

I know y'all like that white gravy but seriously....it is not such a developed taste as it lacks developed taste, IMHO....sorry The okra...it is the slime....not the taste...maybe I did something wrong but.....ooooooohhh the stuff of nightmares. Marmite...yes it is yeasty and salty but sour...no....it is nirvana on hot buttered toast@@ mmmm Treacle...molasses toffee and Poutine!! that is a heart attack on wheels but it is sooooo good. There is a vid of someone buying Adam some Poutine when he was in Montreal, I think. It is home-made french fries, covered in cheese curds that all melt and get gooey, and then covered in brown gravy. It is really, really, really good. |

LOL!! All the different types of gravy. Sausage gravy on toast!! Yummy!! All ya gotta do is fry some sausage and add some flour & milk. When it thickens, make some toast to put it on. Fry an egg, and throw it on there too!! hahahaha!!

I have friends from Alaska that love that stuff and were so disappointed in me when I didn't share their passion. But they had the same negative attitude towards Marmite that I sense from about here! ....but we would all agree on Poutine..I know it.. |

But to be authentic one must add sausage in the gravy, and I think use the sausage grease rather than butter in the recipe. Not being a native of the south, that is what people tell me. Rey-eye gravy is made by deglazing the pan you fried a thick slice of country ham in with coffee. The ham steak is often fried in butter. Usually served with grits. Southern style white gravy is a white sauce base that is often flavored with sausage bits and fat. And "always" has a ton of black pepper. In Northeast Mississippi, for breakfast a local staple is chocolate gravy -- Hot chocolate sauce served over hot, freshly baked biscuits. Better than cinnamon rolls. ETA: Now I am hungry!! |

Q3....thanks for that....now that I see your recipe for red-eye gravy I remember that these same Alaska friends [now in Arkansas] make this and it is really good! Maybe the trouble with the white gravy is also that I am not crazy about much pepper....different strokes...
