Would you believe I tasted gravy for the first time in my life a month or so ago? I was at a Thanksgiving dinner at an American friend's house when he started to explain what gravy was: "You know the grease that drips from grilled meat? That's gravy". I protested, saying I have heard of little else of nutritional value that sounds so disgusting, possibly a close runner-up after the British breakfast delicacy "Marmite" ("by product of the beer making process, the gunk that sticks to the tanks"). The look on their faces said I should taste it not to offend them, so I did. I doubt if I will be pigging out on gravy in heaven, though... Chocolate chip cookies, on the other hand, are another matter. The thought of eternally spending hours on your nails, wearing the most attractive outfits For whom? The "young boys"??? Arghhh...
