First paragraph of the first page of the first book the the Ecce Romane Latin textbook series. For some reason, no-one who ever studied using these books forgets this phrase.

As for me. I speak good English, bad French and a few variations of BASIC.

Jus is not gravy. Jus is literally juice. It is the juices that the meat is naturally full of, that are released when cooked. Sounds like gravy, but ce n'est pas.

Ahh yes. Jus is juice - which is what I said. But on a flash menu, it is usually meaning juices from the meat.
