It won't sound good. The ingredients for her pork gravy are pork, seasonings, and...water.


Her round steak gravy has onions in it as well, but that's it I think. I call that an onion gravy.

My dad grew up on a rice farm and I ate rice and gravy about 3 times a week growing up. It's just simple folk food, but damn is it amazing...to me and my family at least. I figured Count would have a similar experience from Abbeville, but it's not like this is restaurant food or anything.

My mom drains off the grease, but it used to cook down everything in the pot until it all sticks. Basically it creates a fond of epic proportions. It's like frying all of the drippings, or continuing to brown the drippings past the point where most people take it.

Once everything is stuck to the pot the grease is discarded, but it's shocking to see. Very rich flavored and about the thinnest gravy you've ever seen. But holy jeebus it's good.

That is similar to how I make mine but I add onions and garlic and sometimes a little bell pepper. When I remove my meat and drain off some of the grease the entire bottom of the pot is caked with thick dark drippings. I add my onions and scrape and stir, add a little water and keep repeating.

Thank the Lord we live where we can have a discussion on rice and gravy with each other that to us is so revelant and that roux spoon is one of the greatest pieces of fabrication known to man, both the solid as illustrated and the drain one with holes.
