Most countries will have a sauce or ju but it is not gravy.
Again I make my own gravy using cubes to enhance the flavour. I do not use granules but know plenty of people who do.
In the UK, I think it is a bit of a North/South thing too.
When my southern niece came to stay, she had never heard of a pie dinner with gravy lol. And no that is not a Northern staple diet.:blink::blink:

Cool-Aid pickles would work well with that dish.

Whenever anyone comes over I get beef, lamb, chicken and veg oxo's (as well as instant Bisto mmmm). Cubes are much better than the pathetic sachets they sell here.

I think it was due to it being some sort of beef extract

As someone who can take them or leave them I thought they were closer than anything else I have tasted here.

Hi J

Well I went to Nofrills in Okotoks (small version of the Superstore) to look for these crisps and they didn't have any :thumbdown:

But they had chicken and beef oxo cubes :thumbsup:

Next time I visit the Superstore I'll give these crisps a go

I love pies, and my favourite nursery rhyme is Simple Simon, because it contains several references to pies. Yum. :thumbup:

You sure? - I remember about meeting a pie man, but not any actual pies.

How about Insane Clown Posse's song Piggy Pie?

I would've posted the youtube clip but I fear it might contravene Rule #2.

Good song though, very old skool. :)
