Mysteries of Modern Life (No 3)

Whatever happened to gravy browning?

And am I the only person who misses it?  Pale beige gravy just isn't the same...

      Honestly! Standards! Sausage and mash is far too important for bisto.

      She says, shoving the jar (tin? pack? What do you call a cardboard tin? Another mystery of modern life...) to the back of the cupboard.

      And what do you call a plastic milk container? A jug? (perhaps) A carton? (no)

      Genius! Although you may have made me spit tea (rather similar in appearance to unbrowned gravy as it happens) all over my computer...

    Can you still buy fresh gravy in tubs in tesco? Might save the day!

      You can, but I wanted to do the full Delia. Should have realised it was doomed...

    Thanks, Kelloggsville, I didn't know my family did gravy browning!

    Can I tick an imaginary 'like' button on Ellen's comment?

      I suspect they weren't selling it at the right price though...

      Wouldn't that just make it vaguely pink? Which strikes me as even more disturbing than beige.

      And please someone shoot me for being so sad as to worry about this stuff...

I know. I'm sorry. I hate these word recognition, are you a robot, guff things too, but having just got rid of a large number of ungrammatical and poorly spelt adverts for all sorts of things I don't want, and especially don't want on my blog, I'm hoping that this will mean that only lovely people, of the actually a person variety, will comment.

So please do. Comments are great...
