Nope...that ain't gravy as we know it.
As I said "dodgy".... decidedly so.
I just read a recipe. It appears that we also use the gravy as you call it, gravy which is basically beef stock. We use that very extensively also. I can't imagine putting it on what appears to be a pancake/donut type object. Sounds disgusting.
Well it's not sweet!
I don't usually use stock in my gravies. Just the juices of the roasted beef, lamb, chicken, turkey or pork (which usually has some roast vegetables in it too) with some flour and water, usually the potato water and other vegetable waters.
I'll have to try it one day. I'm having trouble imagining the taste. It was never suggested to me by anyone while I was in your country.
If it is done well, it is sooo good. When you run out of food you may even want to mop up the gravy with bread.

You're essentially using a vegetable stock in your gravy if you do that. How much fat gets rendered out from cooking a roast determines how much extra liquid one needs in making the gravy, it can be water, stock, etc. When making gravy for Thanksgiving, for example, my wife will add some chicken stock if there's a surfeit of liquid.

Mash potatoes are one of my favourite veg, yet I'll turn my nose up in disdain at any other puréed vegetable as being pretentious baby food.
As for gravy - can't be bothered with arseing about "deglazing" the roasting pan to make gravy - gravy is made in a huge chemical plant by Premier Foods and it's called Bisto - four spoonfuls, ½pt boiling water, stir. Job done.

You sir are a barbarian!
Yeah, I was booked to sack Rome, but the flight was delayed and then cancelled at the last minute - making gravy with freeze-dried granuals was a poor substitute and not really the same.

What about french fries Pat?
I enjoy every other form that potatoes take. I usually have 2-3 potato dishes with dinner. Actually, I enjoy mashed potatoes but much less than I do other potatoes.

This was me before 11 years of living together and marriage.

I agree. Bisto gravy is fine, and doesn't require faffing.
