Dilatant, pseudoplastic, thixotropic or otherwise rheopectic I would imagine. Most gravy is probably slightly pseudoplastic anyway, though.

:D

Splinter question - I wonder what the correlation between gravy and custard preferences is...

Thick, always. I want the gravy attached to the food, not creating a lake on the plate that I have to soak into some bread, or, scrape into a pool with the last bit of meat and drink off the plate. Oh yeah, I am that guy.

Maybe other means Mint/Apple sauce?

I have no idea what that is, but by God it is making my drunken mouth salivate.

Whatever happened to "Live and Let Live? Paul McCartney?

Gravy at KFC? I've never had gravy and chips from the chippy (probably because I live in London and not up north - not seen it in any of my local chippies). Can someone explain what the Gravy on chips is? Is it like traditional gravy? Or something else?

It can't just be plain old gravy, its gotta be thick! You tend to get onion and mushroom in it (or at least the flavour) and its usually so thick that it doesn't dribble through and collect at the bottom, just sits on top - waiting to be eaten. Oh god, i'm so hungry now :erm:

I also like chips and gravy sandwiches (or butties as we call them in Liverpool :p:)

It isn't a Bisto type of thing, it is a lot darker, I think it might just be a concentrated beef gravy, and I wasn't aware it was a Northern only thing, I assumed it would be a Chippy standard. I would complain if I were you.

I don't see the point of Chips n Sausage if there is no gravy with it.

Ive seen chips with curry sauce. Even chips and cheese is not that common down south, and I have seen that at most takeaways in Scotland.

I am absolutely starving now.

I use plain flour to make my gravy. Stirring it into the juices from the meat over a medium heat until it bubbles then adding extra stock until it's just right.....lovely.
