I don't do gravy, custard, tea or coffee.

The exclamations this causes seem to put me in the freak of nature category.

Am I alone? Where do you stand on the gravy boat?

Definitely freakish. What's wrong with you??

You need adjustment and should get yourself checked.

All of the above get a

I can handle irony. If it were dripping in gravy I would have to run away and cry.

It might be off-set by my sister and brother-in-law drinking off the remainder of the gravy after a meal.

I do not understand pouring gravy on food. If I want wet food I will order soup. Gravy on chips is particularly baffling.

A small amount of crème anglaise on a fruit tart is acceptable.

Coffee I only drink at the weekend and only one small cup a day.

I am with you Lickety - in fact I dare say I am worse.

I don't like 'wet' food - gravy, food cooked in sauces, most soups, curries and so on.

If I do have gravy or a sauce with something, I prefer it on the side so I can maybe have a little dip but not actually on the plate.

I always knew I loved you but to find that you are so perfect just makes my heart sing.

A little bit of the additional flavour on the side is fine but not leaving everything wet and swimming.

If gravy makes your food wet, there's something seriously wrong with it. Properly made onion gravy can turn boring sausages into a comfort food feast.

Gravy on chips seems to be from the Midlands northward. When we lived in London i had never heard of the idea.

It's beginning to appear down here more often now. I have noticed small print offering gravy and curry sauce. I didn't know about cheesy chips until I went up north.

If gravy doesn't make food wet, it must be thick enough to cut with a knife, or break a tooth on!

Bob, as if you didn't know before, but I love you too now. Although the cheese sauce should only be on macaroni or cauliflower and should not be runny.

I could happily drink gravy by the jugful! (I don't thought)

Tea and coffee are what makes it possible for my to function!

Custards nice but only on a good stodgy pudding like crumble which I haven't had for a long time. X

Heathens!

Properly made gravy is manna... drizzled lazily over chips, or even better over a full roast dinner it is the crowning glory!

Sauces, dips, custard, all designed to ooze over, through, and around food, and the be mopped up after with some bread! (except the custard... that gets licked off the bowl!)

Dry food, thats worse than no food mun!

A good sauce or gravy enhances your meal and I don't mean all over, a limited amount to taste not drenched in it, and has to be home cooked, none of the packet rubbish
