Christmas 2025 #2

One of my favourite lunches on a miserable, cold & rainy afternoon is fresh, crusty bread dipped in Red Bisto gravy

I’ve tried loads of other ones, especially this time of year, luxury ones from M&S etc. always ended up boiling the kettle and getting the Red Bisto on the go

I'm going to visit my local waitrose later, so shall see what gravy they have to offer in there. I normally only use a little gravy on my own meals anyway, it's just to give the veggies a bit of taste. I'm like a kid when it comes to veggies haha.

Waitrose gravy is nice!

I was talking to a friend last night about hosting Christmas and she said about chestnut stuffing and devils on horseback then we both agreed that everyone just wants paxo and red bisto .

Wait what?!?! Electric scissors?!?!

Electric scissors. They changed my wrapping life! I bloody love them!

I didn't really know where to ask this, but this thread seems appropriate. Which are the better store bought gravies? This isn't necessarily a xmas question, but more generalised to roast dinners. I am lazy when it comes to gravy. I can't be bothered to make my own, even though I'll probably try in the near future, but when I buy gravy I prefer to buy some decent store bought stuff, rather than just standard gravy granules. Not that there is anything wrong with the basic granules, but I'm wondering if there are better quality gravies out there. Just wondering really.

I like the 'best' gravy granules all the supermarkets have a version of Bistos. Makes thick delicious gravy, have tried M&S and Lidl, both very good

 

[Can't Help It]

My game changer is a pair of electric scissors. Also wrapping at our kitchen island on a barstool, perfect height, no more losing pen, sellotape, scissors, no more backache after crouching on the floor for hours

You can buy electric scissors????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice. I'm gonna go to Lidl tomorrow. I will take a look at theirs. I went to Waitrose earlier and got some of Waitrose own brand earlier. I don't mind trying all different ones though, see what I like.
