And while you're at it.. sop up that glue you call gravy with a big biscuit and some of that southern fried chicken and shove it where your head's stuck.

Chill dude, it's all good here. No need to start pissing matches on this board. One of the great things about foodies is the distinct approaches and techniques to different dishes and cuisines. We can all learn here from others who have a different approach and/or experience.

So what do you call the gravy you put over biscuits? Or country fried chicken?

I call it sawmill white stuff, or sausage white stuff. I am far too coonass to call that gravy.


Where to I get my official coonass badge that this board covets so greatly?

If it has roux, tomatoes and cream; Do you call it etouffee?



Pretty sure the one at Steamboat Bill's in Lake Charles has all of that and their etouffee is delicious.

Sounds closer to what a lot of folks call bisque. If you look at recipes for shrimp bisque, you'll usually see those ingredients.

I don't. I think most would agree you don't put cream in etouffe. Almost against the identity of the dish if you ask me, much the same as making polenta with cream.

No roux in jambalaya. Roux in stew. Roux in gumbo. Roux in some gravies. No roux in a court boullion.

you can make a fantastic gravy from fried chicken without adding roux


you can’t be serious?

If you’re adding flour, or some other starch, to a fat, no matter what that fat is, it’s a roux.

So stupid it doesn't warrant commentary, because if you follow this logic, and broad sweeping generalization, instead of baking a cake you would be baking a roux. Completely ludicrous and asinine to anyone with the most basic knowledge of cooking.
