Abstract
According to a new survey 93% of Brits believe that gravy is an ‘essential component’ of their traditional Sunday roast, proving that this rich, savoury sauce is truly embedded in the fabric of British cuisine.
The survey, commissioned by the Best Betting Sites, includes responses from 2,000 people from all walks of life and corners of the United Kingdom. Around 88% of participants agreed that the smell and taste of gravy evoke feelings of comfort and nostalgia, transporting them back to cherished memories of family gatherings and festive celebrations.
The survey also uncovered a nation divided, with 67% of respondents preferring a thick and glossy gravy, while 33% opting for a thinner, more pourable consistency. A little more of a bizarre insight shows that 31% of Brits drink left over gravy straight from the jug.
