Why would anybody - ever - refer to something as 'jus' when they could call it gravy? Jus is pointless and affected. Gravy is delicious*
*Not all gravy is delicious. Sometimes, it is grey, lumpy and tasteless. Sometimes, it is greasy and disgusting. But let's think positive.
Roast beef and yorkshire pudding, and lots of thick, rich, glossy gravy - made with beef marrow and good red wine? Yes, please.
Roast chicken with roast potatoes and salad, with lots of gelatine-rich chicken juicy gravy? Yes, please.
(It occurs to me that I might not have much for the vegetarians here. Sorry about that.)
Good sausages, mash, green beans - and salty, scented, onion gravy? Yes, please.
Thai curries are just rice, protein and vegetables covered in hot, spicy coconut milk gravy. Mmm.
And never forgetting my university staple: chips and gravy. Believe me, it works.
So don't call it jus. Gravy deserves more respect than that.
