Not if its got gravy on it. But I do thank you for shouting in my general direction when you asked me.

I find it annoying that these scandals, Bridgegate and Emailgate and Benghazigate, hang over the heads of these candidates yet nothing is ever reported or questioned about any of Donald Trump's shady dealings. He hasn't just bullied the other candidates into paralysis, he's completely whipped the media into submission as well.
Trump's the only centrist in the race. Hillary is right of center and all the others are far right.

You haven't succumbed to the untold delight that is biscuits and gravy yet? I went full native on those the first time I tried them :lol:

I vaguely recall a BBC Radio4 show on disability called "does he take sugar" is that still on?

I don't know if it was just a Midwest thing or not, but they recently came out with biscuits and gravy flavoured crisps. They were surprisingly good, actually. Think they were limited edition though, I haven't seen them for a while.

What a weak stomach you must have :p

They tasted exactly like the real thing. If you don't like that, then you wouldn't like the crisps but I liked them.

Bottom line, I can't stand gravy, which was a source of bemusement to everyone else around the Sunday lunch table for many years. As I don't drink tea either, my parents often debated whether I had been switched at birth.

What about sauce (not the bottled variety)?

Gravy is a loosely defined term in the US. In this case, it's more of a roux (I think the term is), kind of a flour-based white sauce with sausages in it.

In the Italian enclaves of the Bronx, where I lived when I first arrived in the US, red spaghetti sauce is referred to as "gravy," so there are indeed many regional variations on the use of the word. The sad thing is, I am so averse to the UK version of gravy, that I have to get past the spaghetti sauce -- or any other kind of sauce -- being referred to by that name! I am familiar with the kind that you are referring to and it's not something I would choose to eat.
