And here I was thinking of you as a Southern Martha Stewart. White gravy recipe. Basically butter, flour and milk and no - it's not nasty.
It's also the basis for Chipped Beef on Toast, affectionately termed "Sh!t on a Shingle" by generations of servicemen.
What caught me by surprise when I was moved from Ohio to Chattanooga as a kid was grits. Thinking it was Cream of Wheat I spluttered that all over the table ruining other people's breakfast. They're okay with a little butter and sugar, just didn't expect that.
“White gravy recipe. Basically butter, flour and milk and no - it’s not nasty.”
I always thought there should be a hint of meat in gravy.
“basis for Chipped Beef on Toast”
LOL! I recall when Mom served SOS when I was little. (We didn’t call it SOS.) I’d have to eat my meal of something else in another room because looking at it yet triggered my gag reflex.
She also made creamed tuna and peas on toast, which I liked. Expect that has the same base.

I’m laughing. Thanks for the compliment. Maybe 30 years ago... Now I’m old; I’m tired.
