Never seen this before so thought I'd take a punt, am glad I did! :smile:
Very similar to the KFC gravy, but also wouldn't be out of place on a Sunday chicken dinner or on chips.
Very thick too, unlike Bisto and similar which I always find a bit watery.

I've never understood slimming world. 3.5 syns for a bit of gravy, yet you can eat 100kg of pasta if you like and that's fine even though it's a carb. Makes no sense at all.

Good for you to. 100G powder is 3.5 Syns for Slimming World. This is easily enough for 4 x people. As you say similar to KFC gravy, very nice.
Also I have found these in Farm Foods for anyone with one of them near you. Not seen Mayflower gravy in B&M although they stock the Mayflower curry sauce.

It is lovely but I think its 3½ sins for a 100g of gravy including the water, not 100g of powder. It's just under 15 syns for 100g of powder.

When I first joined I wasn't convinced by this either but 6 months in and I've lost 5 stone and I'm nearly at target. The way they work out their syns is strange but sometimes it's to do with how filling something is.

Sense or not I've lost 8 stone on SW so it clearly works!

Yeah you're right, it's 100g made up but the syn checker can be confusing so I can see why some people think it's for 100g of powder.

Each to his own I suppose - I sometimes get the mega box at KFC which comes with a little tub of gravy and I toss that tub in the bin straight away. I can't stand the artificial thickness of it. Who knew that it would be something others would want to recreate at home! :laughing:

Slimming clubs don't work long term, for most people, now where's that popcorn........

The club works but the people give up. You do not have to be in a slimming club to lose weight though. You can still eat KFC when slimming :smiley:

KFC gravy come in two forms though....
i have a very small take away KFC in my local village and im 100% sure they make their gravy from a pre made mix,
its always exactly the same taste/consistency every time, its silky smooth and has a slight mixed herb taste
but the big drive through restaurant in a near by town makes their own from the fat left over from frying the chicken,
and its much better!
if i gave you a gravy from each store you'd agree with me

All stores are supposed to use a 50/50 mix of crackling from the bottom of the fryer and the pre mix, obviously crackling only goes so far so if you run out you use the pre mix on its own. Some smaller stores may not make much crackling but it's rubbish without it.
