Gravy (especially onion) goes with any English/British style meal, except fish and chips and breakfasts.

There's a new Poutine restaurant at the Cutlery Works in Neepsend. It's called Gravy Train I think. Haven't tried it yet though.

FIRETHORN1   58 #9 Posted October 8, 2019 Surely it depends what you're having with your chips? I don't imagine that a meaty gravy would go very well with fish, chips and mushy peas, but if you are having just a portion of chips, or a pie and chips, gravy would be a good accompaniment. I was born and grew up in Sheffield, but I've lived and worked in London for the past 40 years. They definitely don't do chips and gravy in the chip-shops down here, but they all do chips with chip-shop curry sauce - which many Londoners love to eat.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Longcol   594 #10 Posted October 19, 2019 Gravy is fine with a pasty or meat and potato pie and chips - the Harlequin on Howard Street used to do that brilliantly - 45 years ago! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
