Current Events > i need some help from any cooks out there

(+) Yeah! (+)

ive been trying to remember my grandmas old biscuits and gravy recepie but have to go off memmory

the thing im stuck on is the meat used in the milk gravy

it was these reall small thin strips of meat (about a inch long maybe shorter)

the meat was either beaf or pork

if i can find this meat i think i can figure out the milk part from other milk gravy recopies

either.
Just pick one and run with it. If it sucks, try the other.

Beef would probably work better than pork, but it's really what you prefer at this point. Don't be afraid to experiment a little, lol.

im trying to FIND the meat is the thing i dont know what to shop for i cant find thin meat rectangles

If you know the approximate sizes, I'd suggest making them yourself if you've the patience to cut the meat.

HOLLY FUCK THAT IS IT

*hugs* thank you thank you thank you

We always used sausage. I bet in your case, it was chipped beef, which is pretty common in these kinds of gravy recipes.

I always used breakfast sausage and hard boiled eggs. Damn good gravy.

now to find the damn chipped beef *sees walmart sells it in a already made sauce* NO NO i want to make it mys elf bad walmart website

I like to make a roux out of bacon fat, and then toss bits of bacon into it.
Stir in some milk, and you've got gravy.

...yeah, I'm not going to live very long.

I was going to say, Grandma improvised.
You make good with what you have.

...Also Corn Starch, if you need it.

If you want some absurdly good gravy, throw some Jiffy cornbread mix in there. It doesn't take much.

Oh I work with someone who suggested something like that. But not the Cornbread....Holy shit that would be excellent!

Substitute Jiffy in the "roux" step for extra awesome.

Ya, no, I get it...

I work with foodies and we talk about this stuff...but I never thought of going straight to Corn Bread.
I'd probably dehydrate it and crumble it in.

I'm doing alright now, and I still eat like 80s WIC.

I am sad that I have no idea what this is from, but I totally understand.
Poverty food is actually some of the best food.

My dad was union GM worker from roughly 1976-something to I think he retired around 1998-2000.
I seem to recall 1982 being especially bad.

Yet, I became a Reagan republican somehow, and my parents went into Trump absurdity that I even found a bit questionable.

I believe it.
As for as I can see we are still fighting the cold war....which is to say the GDP war.

you know who I am, so yeah.

That said, bacon fat + Jiffy cornbread + milk = fucking awesome gravy.

No argument from me.

It sounds like we both grew up with some influence from the WWII Generation.
My Grandfather came out of poverty....never really made it anywhere, except are reasonable like, but as he said, he always had cash in his pockets...even in The Depression.

We buried my dad's dad with full WW2 honors, and we were all "wait what, we though he only did Korea".
Never told us about it. At all.

Nope WWII Vets rarely talked about it.
I heard bits. But he rarely talked about it.

He did say, and I still respect this, that he wanted no one with his last name to ever go through that again.
It's an Italian name, and they sent him up to Alaska, far from the European front to de-detonate unexploded ordnance. It's amazing I was ever born.

My dad missed the Vietnam draft by about three months.
That's just how things work out.

Bacon gravy never fails.
