What if there was a sauce for mashed potatoes that was even better than gravy but nobody found it because everyone assumed gravy was automatically the best?

Nigga, humans figured out what mushrooms kill you, make you high, or are delicious because they decided to eat random shit just cause. Of course people tried random sauces for mashed potatoes. Gravy is the best.

classic around these parts where i'm from is to use the sauce from boiled stuffed bell peppers, usually tomato based

White sauce is pretty good. Adds a nice creaminess to the mash.

[Anonymous No.14184076]

>>14184067
Does more creaminess really necessary?

[Anonymous No.14184090]

>>14184076
Not if it's a good mash. Doesn't really need anything in that case.

Decently lifts a dry as fuck or kinda average mash though.

[Anonymous No.14184217]

>>14184196
There is. You just don't put it on mashed potatoes because crab is never served with potatoes.

Maybe a little mushroom catsup, though?

It's not like gravy is also extremely popular in every European country. Not sure if Americans just have a strange understanding of gravy.

[Anonymous No.14184506]

>>14184488
no they're not, butter takes cream from the top of the milk and stirring for hours on end, gravy takes flour and the juices that run from the meat when baking.

I believe the earlier person may have been mistaken in conflating the Italian-American term "gravy" with gravy in general as it is understood by everybody else

Gravy in general refers to a sauce produced by mixing flour and some kind of liquid fat, followed by adding liquid (milk, water, liquid meat drippings) until a somewhat thick sauce is made

Italian-American "gravy" refers to a long-cooked tomato sauce. It's good but it's baffling to the rest of Americans and actual Italians why they call it gravy

Anyone else like steak sauce on their baked potatoe? Miss me with that cheese and bacon shit

[Anonymous No.14186037]

>>14185645
It's like au jus but thickened up to a consistency similar to a white sauce

[Anonymous No.14186102]

>>14185645
The main difference between both is really consistency. What most Americans think of as gravy (at least where I am) is made with milk, which ends up with a different and creamy texture compared to most gravy, which is way runnier and to me way meatier.

>>14185851
No, I had forgotten about that. That also happens.
