Yep it is shite; my mum always used to throw in a Bisto tub each Xmas with stuff for my son. Half a tub left for this year & will need a resupply!

Make the gravy yourself....

Heat some oil, fry off some onion, spring onion garlic and ginger you can add any thing else you like...

Until its browned.

Remove it.

Add plain flour cook that for about 30 mins.


That would be your base...... then when u want to make the actual gravy... ad some of this to little oil in a pot. Add water from the veg you just cooked, and any meat juices and then salt and pepper to taste...
