We had a restaurant in town that used recipes from 18th and 19th Century America. The stuff was delicious but the place didn't make it.

Disappointing.

Townsends has a good channel with lots of historical food recipes and preparation methods. Very interesting

I am pretty sure that gravy is the exact same gravy that goes into the "just add water" mixes that restaurants use, and which are sold on the shelf lol.

If you want a really amazing sauce, make sauerbraten..the gravy is essentially vinegar and ginger snaps.

In the south gravy is either a food group or a beverage............

I grew up on white gravy, hamburger gravy and homemade chicken and pork gravy. We had gravy pretty much with every meal.

I grew up on gravy also, but thicker. When I make gravy I add more flour till the roux is almost dry, then slowly add a bit of liquid at a time & stirring all the while until it's the right consistency...…...pretty much the same process with whatever 'flavor' of the day is. I only use bacon fat or butter when I don't have either chicken, pork or beef pan drippings


Now I'm gonna have to make some sausage gravy & biscuits...maybe for tomorrow's supper......yum, yum good!

I use anything to hand...can also add butter or bacon fat to drippings.
We ate a lot of venison when I was young...the best gravy is milk gravy made from venison drippings.

But how do you cook your bacon?

On the stove, over medium heat. I like it to be crispy.

I like white gravy. With lots of black pepper.

 

[Audubon Zed]

Simple with biscuits.

Fry it up in a fry pan.....preferably cast iron. Though I do mine around medium to medium high for a good crispy crunch
