Well... This is the west country. But fuck knows what West country sauce is.

>> No.6985727

A version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_gravy though the wiki article seems to only describe the American version. Brit onion gravy is darker, thicker and lacks the additional herbs and spices typically used stateside.

It's easy to make: in a SS pan, cook a half cup each of oil and flour over high heat, stirring constantly, until about a hair lighter in colour than milk chocolate.
Add a cup of finely chopped onion and off the heat.
Keep stirring until the sizzling stops.
Re-up the heat and add a litre of stock, usually chicken though it used to be made with pork stock before chicken's popularisation on UK tables, and whisk to dissolve the flour-paste.
Bring to the boil then lower to maintain a gentle simmer and allow to reduce to desired thickness.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and, if desired, parsley.

Similar sauces exist in all Northern European cuisines and the cuisines of their daughter cultures, such as Australian, South African and USican, though with some added ingredients or used with different meats. Some versions of poronkäristys, sautéed reindeer, are prepared with an onion gravy to which some cream, fresh or soured, is added. Swedish meatballs are also made with a similar gravy, though with dill instead of or in addition to parsley as well as cream.

Yeah, it's the stuff eaten with sausages. Faggots are basically just round sausages made of heart, liver and streaky bacon, after all, using caul fat instead of collagen or intestines as the casings.

And I think it's just a marketing term. No one calls it 'west country sauce' other than Mr. Brain's. It's just gravy.

Also, there's a really good recipe from Tom Kerridge's Proper Pub Food for faggots and gravy. You can't really get more West Country than a geez from Salisbury like Tom Kerridge, so his recipe is spot on.

It's obviously just some kind of pork/beef bouillon mixed with spices, starches, and whatever other chemicals, allowing it to turn into a salty sauce when mixed with the freezer burn heated in the microwave.

European culture is dead. Literally any cuisine you people eat was invented a hundred years ago and before or it's been brought over with the recent influx of migrant with no fusion since there's a boner for assimilation there. All the new stuff is happening in the new world and Japan. It makes sense that Americans would be proud of their food, especially when comparing it to anything from the North of Europe.

I'm actually serious. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good moules frites or a fish and chips or even a penne arrabiata but it's really old, boring food. Leave innovation to the new countries. Europe had a good run, but it doesn't mean you're the only region that will ever do well again. To think so is nothing short of the exceptionalism you scoff at from across the Atlantic.

You obviously haven't chained together all of the words that I used in that post. I would suggest gathering them all up in order to take meaning from them. In English we call it a "sentence".

The fact that American cuisine is more new makes it more exciting. Let's not forget the new interpretations of old dishes from Europe happening here right now and being normal in our cultural centers. It doesn't mean the old variations aren't good, it just means, as I've mentioned before, that they're old and boring.

Traditionally, in my region they do cook in a gravy rich with Cider but this is not the case here! .. . I have eaten Brains faggots and although they are Ok, they are not real faggots (think frankfurter as opposed to Bratwurst)
