i like a lot of sauces, except gravy on mashed potatoes, i like it on the
side but not on the potatoes, makes them watery, why that is different
from taking a forkful and dipping them makes no sense but there you have
it, Lee

We only ever had gravy at Thanksgiving. I wouldn't eat it as a child. I
like it now but will do without it at a restaurant because Angela can not
eat theirs and I think it is easier for her when we just eat the same
thing.

I grew up on gravy, always made from pan drippings. White sauces for fish,
corned beef etc were made from a roux then added milk and seasonings. My
kids actually like the instant powdered gravies

Would you believe that my mom didn't know what was in a white sauce? When I first moved out I learned to make macaroni and cheese from scratch and I loved it. At home we only ever had that Kraft stuff in a box. My mom asked me how to make it and I said that I just made a white sauce and added cheese. Yes, I know some versions are baked in the oven but when I made it I really wanted it fast and that worked for me. She hasn't a clue what was in a white sauce or how to make one.

That's really cool Julie! You've just teach your mom.
I also grew up eating with gravy and mayo as a dip.
