Gravy is meat juice, not meat custard.
Gravy is meat juice + cornstarch or flour to thicken. It should be noted paste can be made with flour or cornstarch.
Meat juice = yummy au jus.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Crunchy rules. Ever tried these? If you like savory, as I do, the tomato really has a lovely tang,and for cheese-crunch combo, the harvest cheddar is wonderful. [link]

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
There are two almost complete strangers in the other part of my apartment. I'm paying them to torment Ozzie.

I don't recall it ever occurring to me that I could have any food other than what was put before me. I was always allowed to skip the things that made me gag, which were pretty much eggs, mashed potatoes and English peas. The mashed potatoes were definitely a texture thing. I still think eggs belong in cake.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm surprised to see so many (any!!) people not liking potatoes, mashed or otherwise. My cousin went through a no-potato phase, and we were just agreeing that she was a freak for that! Maybe not so freaky.

My texture issues are TOTALLY texture. Cottage cheese, bleah. Sweet pudding, bleah. Crepes, ok that was a stomach flu aversion. Can't'do flan or custard, hate most gravies. Some yogurts get me gagging.
There is an element of sweet: I don't really do sweets, my downfall is salty crunchy.
But that's really separate from texture. Sweets I avoid. Texture stuff makes me gag.

Right. Your texture spans both sweet and savory, sara.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gravy is meat juice + cornstarch or flour to thicken.
Thankfully not in the main cuisines I grew up eating.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My mom is one of those who can't eat pudding or flan. Never had a gravy problem, though.
I definitely had texture issues as a kid-- couldn't eat steak because the fat was gross and the chewy muscly-ness was disgusting.
