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.

Tried this Mayflower Southern Style Gravy Mix thinking it would be like KFC gravy, which is fab. Sadly, this Mayflower gravy tastes NOTHING LIKE KFC GRAVY. Its really odd and overpowering. I ended up mixing it in with my dogs food - just not to waste it, but absolutely would NOT buy it again. Pity.

Doesnt taste nothing like proper kfc gravy but it is good

bought this a few weeks ago and love it

Bought this other day, its nothing like kfc gravy but its quite nice

Wow- well done you. any tips?

Plenty of exercise and eat most food in moderation, lots of fruit and veg wherever possible...you shouldn't need a slimming club for that.

Forget the Slimming World talk, this is amazing. I have had this with Iceland southern fried chicken wings and Aldi sweet potato fries and it's awesome! I've also had this on a Sunday dinner and loved it.

It's crack cogravy baby!

Yum
Yum

But fat content is calories, 1g of fat is 9 calories.

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:

You know with bisto you can just make it with a bit less water?? Doesn't have to be watery

:smirk:

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

Of course it's your opinion, whose else would it be?

Wifey used this instead of Bisto, the results were amazing.

Different gravy......

Tastes too much like standard chicken gravy to me. Nothing comes anywhere close to KFC gravy, I don't know what it is but I don't think anyone can imitate it.

just salt and fat and no meat, well hardly any!

First rule about slimming world.... :smiley:

Slimming World :sunglasses:

Agree 100% it's not a diet but a life change more so. I eat loads with Slimming World. It's made food more enjoyable and I feel SO much more better. Whatever works for you in my opinion is what's best, for some this is Slimming World, others it is not. Also congratulations on the 2 stone award, I also got my 2 stone cert last night as well! Keep it up :smiley:

Might want to think again next time your order the real deal

bought this a month or so back when it came out. not very nice at all. so incredibly salty. since southern fried as a flavour is mostly black pepper ,it was definitely not peppery. it's like they picked up the salt instead of the pepper to season it.

NICE

Bisto do a chip shop gravy which actually does taste kind of like chip shop gravy and is insanely thick. Add some chicken juice to it and I think you'll be on the way towards KFC gravy - though in truth I've never really rated KFC gravy. You can buy the Bisto Chip Shop stuff in Poundland.

I've been looking at this in Home Bargains for a few weeks but I didn't think it would be much different to the aforementioned Bisto, and my food cupboard is already overflowing!

I try and make my own gravy whenever I have any meat juice - such as when I cook a joint or when I do one of those roast-in-the-bag chickens. I have an old recipe that never fails -

To meat juices from pan add:

Water,
Stock cube,
LOADS of black pepper
A big glug of gravy browning,

Mix a heaped tablespoon of cornflower to half a small glass of whole milk

Add to gravy and cook off until you have the desired consistency. Add water if necessary. The milk addition sounds weird but it adds some depth to the gravy. There's usually loads of gravy here so I tend to bung the leftover gravy in the base for my chillis or curries.

It's delicious. Truly...definitely not healthy though.

I bought this last week, for anyone who's interested, it's suitable for vegetarians. I've not tried it yet,I get the feeling it best to be done in pan.... Looks like the Maysan? Curry powders you get in tubs you mix with water.

very similar to KFC gravy but without the sh*t they filter out of the fryers mixed into it, you mean?

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.

They do a nice "Extra Hot" curry mix too, same price.

I been having this lately and love it!... I fry some chicken peas onions carrots mushrooms makes a nice casserole.

The wife bought some last month to give it a try.

It's the [email protected]!

I saw a documentary on how they make the gravy, it sounds gross but it's not really. Basically they scrape the fat buildups from their empty fryers, whizz it all up with (presume water) hen add it back to the mix. :stuck_out_tongue:

Your right, my apologies. Made up as directed to 100g is 3.5 Syns. Just checked Syns Online.

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

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.

Yep, in B&M also but more expensive at £1, Home Bargains all the way.

lovely with a roast chicken especially if you use some of the juices from the tin really is like proper KFC gravy if made that way
