And always add a little butter to give it a rich texture! I like to put som crushed garlic in mine too.

Glad to see you don't rely on granules or oxo cube

Real proper gravy

Real proper gravy

But using Burble's method would mean I'd have to 90 minutes for a 20 minute meal

no chance when I'm hungry.

Even just using the liquid stocks will be better than the cubes and they take the same amount of time to prepare.

But don't your onions still take 90 minutes to cook? I'd have eaten my own arm off by then

Ah, forgot about the onions.

Gravy freezes quite well actually so you could freeze some (ice cube trays are good) to save you having to eat your own limbs.

Thread de-railage for the LOSE.

Anyway, I was thinking of the liquid chicken stock, as I heard (probably on the tellybox) that it is superior to OXO cubes. But for the sake of tonight's dinner, I'll takes what I can gets.

Thanks for the tips dudes.
