Americans Try Bisto Gravy | Southern Style & Pigs in Blankets 

Aah Bisto! Do you know of the bisto kid? The boy on the old tins sniffing the air as the smell of the food wafts towards him

pigs in blankets (sausages wrapped in bacon) are a all year round food but good at christmas too... we have them many times a year... especially when used in toad in hole... covered with onion gravy a good desert at this time of year is apple crumble eaten hot or cold with either custard or with cream... bisto do a nice cheese sauce tub too i always use that with pasta and tuna dishes.

When I make gravy it's a bit Moore runny than that .when I put it on my dinner it runs of a bit . Thank you for sharing your day, take care and all the best. 😊😊😊👍👍👍🐶🐶 May be a roast dinner of some,sort ,even if it's roast chicken . I put pigs in blankets with chicken.

Did you remember when making it, that our spoon sizes can differ between our countries, plus an English pint size is different to an American one. It should be thick, but not quite that thick.

Cheers! That wine looks refreshing! I've no idea about the Bisto southern-style gravy. I expected it to be white too! The pigs in blankets style sounds yummy. Instant gravy is so easy now. I remember years ago when my Grandmother made gravy from scratch with the meat juices, some veg water, onion, a little gravy browning and/or some cornflour. She was stirring it on the stove top for what seemed like hours. It was so good though!! Life is much faster now. Have a good week, guys. 😊

Hi Tina, Ross and Finn hope you are all well. Although probably seasonal, you can still buy pigs in blankets one at other times. I got one the other day and very nice. Take care.

I found out about Bisto 2011 when I went to the UK it's great

Can't beat a good gravy on a Sunday dinner .. roast potatoes. Peas. Roast beef.mashed carrots and turnip.. wonderful 🌹

To enhance the flavour of the gravy try adding either marmite or Worcestershire sauce.

I think the Southern style gravy is meant to be like the one KFC sell, hence the suggestion of chicken and chips. The pigs in blankets was a limited edition at Christmas, but there is no way in hell instant gravy is getting served Christmas day. My Grandmother would haunt me for ever lol

to @Nick Jarret no disrespect I'm probably a lot older than you and that ad was constantly in my childhood Oxo and Bovril were also around but IIRC they were thought more as being used by Grannies (way before the Oxo family of course)

The gravy is fine and if you like it then go ahead,i like mine thick too.

I have the same problem when making bisto gravy. l end up adding water until it looks right, normally finished with enough to feed the village but you can freeze it. Bangers and mash needs onion gravy traditionally but sausage and chips with gravy are a quick treat.

Just wanted to add. Bisto is the best gravy. 👍

of course obe of the classic uses of brown gravy is to smother UK style roasties and fill Yorkshire Puddings oh yummy and if you've been extra heavy handed with the pouring it's perfectly acceptable to mop up with a slice of bread

When i was a young boy growing up in the early 60's my mam would make her own gravy using the fat juices off the meat , corn flower , an OXO cube and mix it with the water from the vegetables and add a spoon of gravy browning , that's how i usually make my own but occasionally for quickness i use OXO gravy granules which are far superior to the Bisto watery rubbish that you've just tried, see you soon

This was interesting, out of the two I’ve only tried the southern style and was interested to know if it resembled anything in the US. Can’t go wrong with mash and gravy, great and now I’m hungry. 😂

Ive never tried any of the "random" flavours of bisto, cos the regular gravy is nowhere near my favourite. But they do one called Bisto Best, which is much better (it comes in glass so maybe not safe to send over). You're definitely selling them though lol

Great vid prefer the veg one gravy with roast chicken and roast potatoes is very good also 🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿😍😍😍💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Hiya. Did you say Tablespoons? You meant Teaspoons, right? Stay safe. All the best to you.

Any pie, Lamb chops or chicken breast.

army and navy gravy😀

The gravy was a bit thick imo, try with a bit more water :)

Brit here, honestly I have never seen these. We consider bisto to be ok but at best convenient and worst just plain cheating. for e.g you roast a joint of beef right and there are the juices. Ok throw in some bisto and save 2 mins, or spend that extra 2 mins to make a real gravy. Everything is too convenient these days.

Hmmmm… the gravy does seem a bit too thick to be a “gravy” 🥺 it looks more like a sauce to me. It needs to be sort of runnyish with your food sitting ‘in’ the gravy, not the gravy sitting ‘on’ the food 😲 Every Christmas, for a bit of a price 😐🥴 my (ex) Sainsy does a range of fresh and flavoured ready to serve “Christmas gravy”….made with chicken/turkey stock and cornflour with a dabble of cranberry sauce and some herby bits in it. It is quite rich but really adds to the flavour of the turkey, that I personally find so blimming bland, boring and 😖 (the yearly argument is always “Christmas Day - shall we have a turkey (him) or a chicken (me) and he always spouts out the “it’s a tradition” rule and every year a turkey crown is on the dining table 😰🙄) But the gravy is very popular with the customers as it’s that Chrissy “finishing touch” that’s a bit more than the usual chicken/turkey Bisto or gravy granules. Although I bought the pre made Chrissy gravy, I still bought a tub of the pigs in blankets flavour too…. To go on the bits of a traditional Boxing Day meal - eating the Christmas Day dinner left overs! 😄 I personally could not eat a dinner meal if there wasn’t any gravy to go with it - I do not like “dry” food - and there is such a deep joy in pouring a rich and runnyish beefy flavoured gravy into a Yorkshire pudding, leaving it for a couple of minutes to soak into the pud! Bigging it up for gravy! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
