GRAVY.

Ah! Bisto - we all used to say.

The power of the T.V., advertisement.

We all came to know the Bisto family.

Grandma used to thicken the essence

At the bottom of the roasting the beef,

Thickened it with cornflour, or a drop

of Yorkshire Pudding mixture.

At home with mum and dad,

We had Yorkshire Pudding with

Onion gravy as a starter.

We had our roast beef dinner

Then, a sweet course,

Yorkshire pudding with sweetened milk.

As an elderly wife, now in 2017

I use Yorkshire Puddings made

By Auntie Bessie - 4 minutes in the microwave!

BUT !  I still make traditional Gravy to pour over.

BUT !  I do use, not an OXO cube but a stock pot jelly.
