|  Gravy, Stock etc I have found out to my horror that I have no instant Gravy left in the cupboard, not even the Bisto flour for making my own from the roasting dish. I am yet to discover how it went missing but that will probably remain a mystery! Anyway, on that sad note, I am wondering if there is anywhere I can buy Gravy from, in any form other than that tinned stuff they have in Walmart? I think i've seen powdered instant gravy before in a white pot but it probably tastes like that crap they have in Sirloin Stockade or worse still the gravy they have in KFC! Failing that, does anyone know where I can buy ready made beef or chicken stock?

| Chedraui in Plaza Las Americas has it. I saw that it comes in a jar. It think it was at the end of aisle 6. For Thanksgiving, I saw Jellied Cranberry Sauce (Ocean Spray), Stove Top Stuffing, Durkee Onions in a can (to make green bean casserole), Bushs Baked Beans, a few varieties of BBQ Sauce (if you like that on your turkey), Cherry and Vanilla Coke, Swan Downs Cake Flour, corn bread mix and frozen Pumpkin Pies. This is my new favorite store to shop in. |

| Come on guys and gals. Just take some of your turkey drippings, stir in a cup of milk, shaken with 3 TBS of flour, let it thicken, then add more milk till you get the consistency you want and it is better than any instant gravy you could find. Make it even tastier by simmering the turkey neck for 45 minutes with some celery and carrot, then pull off the neck meat, and put small pieces in the gravy. OMG.

I gave some leftovers to a friend and she put it in baby bottles, cut the tips off the nipples and the little sucklings were eating it up. You have to be southern to know what gravy is Steve. Jajaja

| The Chedraui on Kabah (across from Home Depot) has a huge selection of Campbells Gravy on sale right now. You can load up for the next holiday. It is not in an aisle, but on a table (look for all the Stove Top Stuffing boxes) close to where they slice the cold cuts. |

| Cancun Fun. I agree. Gravy from a can? Stovetop anything? How about your home made cornbread dressing? That really rocks, as did both of our gravy dishes. And what planet are these people from who don't know that proper white gravy is made with milk? I just Googled White Gravy Recipe to make sure I had not unknowingly hit my head and lost my mind. These are the first five results, minus one that was labeled Vegitarian. They are from pretty impressive cooking and recipe sources. Dear Lord, I pray that you help these poor souls, who know not what they are missing with proper white gravy. Please show them the way. Amen.

| I donīt eat gravy from the can either. I was just passing along the information that I saw it in Chedraui. A few years in Atlanta taught me that sausage gravy (the non vegetarian style, hence the sausage) is actually a food group in the South and there isnīt anything like home made or restaurant made to compare and it is made with milk or cream (and lots of butter). |

| Great news Poco. I have been known to unpack my luggage only to find that someone has wrapped a frozen Jimmy Dean While Pork Sausage in a tee shirt then that was wrapped in some other clothing. I have to start watching my luggage closer to keep people from putting things in it.
