Being from England, I really miss not having some gravy to put over my attempts at making roasts. I've just finished the jar I brought over from my last visit home. Does anyone know of any place in Korea, or internet site, that I can get gravy from?

Butlerian,

Send me a PM man. I'm going to rescue you. I have a few packets of brown gravy mix my mom sent and am leaving in two months. I'll give you 2 or 3.

If it's turkey gravy you're looking for, try the corner shop... Very Happy

You can find the dry powder mix at the foreign grocery store in Itaewon next to What The Book.

I bought a big plastic tub of gravy powder from Costco - it's next to all the herbs etc. I also noticed tinned chicken gravy in Emart.
Yorkshire puddings are useless without gravy. Very Happy

If you're making a roast beef, save the juice and add salt, pepper, and a roux to the juice in a saucepan over low heat.

Gravy.

Yes, that's what I do now that Burdell has gone out of business.

I mix some flour with an oxo cube with cold water, add some salt, then I pour it in my roasting tin after the meat is cooked. Add more water, salt and pepper and some red wine. It's very good - although I wish Burdell would come back in business.. or someone starts something similar to it again...

You make them yourself.

4oz of flour, 1 egg, a pinch of salt, half a pint of milk and water. Mix all together, pour in pre-heated, pre-greased yorkshire pudding tin (which you can get from home from Woolworth's for �1.59 - could be higher now). Cook for 30 minutes on 200'C. Voila you have your yorkshire puddings!

Yorkshire pudding was the bane of my Sunday lunch, as a kid. Still don't care for it. Can't beat gravy though; I get my mum to send me the sachet stuff, but I mix it with the water I used to cook the veg.

Wide variety of regular gravy mixes - mushroom, beef, chicken, etc. at the Hannam Market in the Volvo building near Itaewon. Cheap.

But also there - you can find pop tarts and lots of other strange stuff us foreigners like.
