Gravy on white wonder bread. I'm not a mashed potato fan. Or just gravy on meat. Or on the plate.
I hardly ever have it, it is as scarce as a bologna on white bread with good mayo sandwich in our food repetoire, but real gravy. . . oh my it is the stuff of dreams.
@Sooner Your post made me smile with the memory of gravy ruled by "calorie sins"! Please come where I am, we have plenty to share and then some!

My husband, no. Me, yes. I love gravy especially with mashed potatoes. When I make a roast chicken, turkey or roast beef, I always make gravy. Alsomeat cooked in the crockpot has gravy. Glad I don’t have to share.

Oh my, I love gravy. Brown, Cream, Sausage gravy. But we hardly ever have it because I don't cook things that render the fat needed to make it. I did buy some Jimmy Dean sage sausage today. I may make sausage gravy in the morning IF it gives off enough grease .
DH can take it or leave it. I don't think his mother made much of it.

My husband will put beef gravy on any kind of meat.

I grew up in the midwest and we had Gravy A LOT! Now, I rarely have it and never make it at home. I do get a half order of biscuits & gravy about every other week from a local coffee shop. Other than that, I can't even remember tha last time I had any other type of gravy.

I Never saw "fat back" until I visited the woman in the next apartment.
@ECBG , I thought salted pork and fat back were the same. What's the diff?

@vabreeze Fat back is all fat plus the rind. Salted pork has some meat. It is also cured.

for the most part we can take it or leave it. DH and I both like an occasional biscuit & gravy meal in cold weather. So hearty & filling then.The thought of it in summer is rarely appealing. My husband can usually take gravy or leave it. I occasionally like a 'beef manhatten ' meal that a cafeteria in our area offers.
I have never been a master gravy cook any way so this may be why we do not consume much. I have never found any canned ones at all worth it . Really good homemade gravy can be very tasty.
I find my felines (both girls) love it in the canned foods ! Some brands add and highlight extra gravy on the can .

Yes, my husband and son love gravy and will put it over anything. At Thanksgiving I could just serve stuffing and gravy and they wouldn't ask where the turkey was.LOL

@vabreeze Sometimes fat back is also called "streaked meat". Saltedpork is a slab of pork fat which has been salted.
