Cornflour, always cornflour, less lumpy and besides, normal flour is for baking and soaking up oil spills not gravy.......oh and glue...

The thing is, I now have another problem.
Naturally, I like to help out round the house occasionally, and sometimes I even cook. I admit to there being some truth in the accusations of having a limited repertoire, but so what? I enjoy eating what I cook, and that's the important part. Right?
The thing is, when I do a roast, gravy is a must. None of that packet shit, either.
No. I make my own from scratch. Clever, eh?
BUT
I use flour.
And she says I should use cornflour.
It's a conundrum.
Should I withhold sexual favours until she accepts the way I do things? Or spend more time in the gargre, leaving her to cook and make gravy her way?

You know the rules...pics or it never happened.

As for the rest of you, at least I know who not to cook for now!
Plebs! Its cornflour! I know this because thats what my mum used, and if you knew my mum, you'd know not to argue with her, especially when she has a knife in hand.....

Are you loaded?

With money I mean

**Genie** · 4th May 2011, 14:52

Traditionally, I do believe flour is the perferred option....

...it all really comes down to the choice of the Chef!

Nope. Broke as. Just ask my wife or my partner

Can I vote for neither?

Just deglaze the pan with wine, add a bit of stock or vege water, reduce and whisk in a lump of butter at the end...probably 'jus' rather than 'gravy', but they're synonyms as far as I'm concerned.

Jus is juice, your making a Jus aux beurre. A white reduced sauce thickened with butter is a beurre blanc. Gravy is glace de viande, more or less. You can thicken your gravy with cornflakes if you want, cooking should be an adventure!
