When I was growing up my mother would tell us "We don't eat gravy. We are not the kind of people who eat gravy." I'm not entirely sure what that means. I suspect that Mom is an anti-gravite.
Anyway, I do not eat gravy.

Maybe she associated eating gravy with being poor and having nothing substantial to eat. My mom's dad hated soup for the same reason.

I was taught that we are not the kind of people who eat catsup. I grew into the kind of person who does not eat mayonnaise either. They are both disgusting to me, except in a very few usages. Even reading KQ's name makes me gag a little bit.

Tante, would she perhaps mean that gravy is most often composed of flour, meat drippings, milk, and seasoning? Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

MILK in gravy? Really? I'm not a fan of gravy anyway, and I think I can count the number of times I've had it in my entire life on two hands, maybe one, but milk?
I can't even imagine why that would be a good idea.

White gravy has milk as its liquid, brown gravy has broth. They're both good, but white gravy is best for biscuits and gravy. Mmmmm....
And really, the best thing you can put on most vegetables (and potatoes!) is ranch dressing. Not that nasty stuff they sell in the stores, but homemade ranch dressing.

Nope. The best thing you can put on most vegetables are spices. Curry 'em up, and you've got a masterpiece! Yum! Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

Okay...I was curious about the difference and so I googled it. I searched for: difference between ketchup and catsup.
According to all the sites I looked at, there is no difference. I even found out that they are both pronounced the same way: Ketch-up...NOT CAT. I never knew that.
So... are they wrong? What is the real difference?

I imagine that the real difference is that Heinz makes ketchup, not catsup, so therefore ketchup is the only true ketchup. Or so I have gleaned from reading kq's posts.

*sits waiting for Catsupqueen to make an appearance and argue that she is different than Ketchupqueen.

I carry Heinz packets in my purse and in the glove compartment of the car for times when I am stuck at the house of an infidel like you and have no access to proper ketchup. *narrows eyes*

Oh, guess what Ems did when my mom made home fries and I showed her how to dip fries in ketchup the other day? That's right, triple-dipped and sucked the ketchup off before eating each fry.

I can't say I understand the ketchup obsession...
I like to dip my grilled cheese sandwiches in ketchup... probably because they were always served with fries and it was inevitable that the sandwich would get some ketchup on it. I liked it.
I don't, however, prefer ketchup with my fast food fries. I MUCH prefer those little packs of barbecue sauce. YUM. At home, I use ketchup, though...
Just because you all wanted to know...

Monday night? Supposed to be FHE night, but we never really plan anything, so completely free. I'm going to be singing with my dad and the rest of the band in a few weeks, so soon I'll start going to practices and stuff, but our banjoist is going out of town, so Monday would, in fact, be perfect.
Jeff gets off work at 5 or so most evenings. Emma usually goes to bed between 9 and 10. Anywhere in there is good. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004
