Apparently, originally in the 14th Century it was a bit of a copy error. The French (who by no means have the last word in cooking) had the word grane, and someone at some stage mistakenly copied over the 'n' as a 'v' and for some unknown reason the English kept the 'v' and added a 'y'. Thus, in a 14th-century cookbook we find oysters, for instance, were stewed 'in their own gravy', meaning with their own juices, plus wine broth, almonds and rice flour, and similar gravies appeared from then on. So the French still, to this day, have only sauce or jus (juices), whilst the British have gravy, which is a sauce made from juices and other ingredients. So in all our most prestigious cookbooks, literature, food journalists and diaries throughout the centuries, gravy is prominently featured.During the 1960s adverts included "Pass The Gravy Pass The Bisto" and "Does Cooking Proud".

The Bisto Kids were a boy and girl in ragged clothes, who would be illustrated catching the odour of Bisto on the breeze and exhale longingly, "Ah, Bisto!"

Beef and Ale Stew – a rustic beef and ale stew you can make in the slow cooker – this rich, filling beef stew is ideal served ladled into bowls with crusty bread to mop up the juices. I don’t know about you, but I hate it when ground beef stays in long hard strips in the way it was ground. It always seems more tough, and not as pleasant to eat.I’m a fan of the ground beef from Farm Foods, which only sells grass fed meat from smaller, sustainable farms, and wild-caught seafood. It breaks down beautifully, and I don’t have to fight to break it up as it cooks.
