Never heard of it, must be a midlands thing

It's been around for a few years and is still gravy.

Chef's noblet term for gravy.

Like calling a bog standard soup 'consomme'

 

[just jim]

It just means more sauce and gravy for us, the crazy fools!!!!

 

[wafflycat]

'jus' is a term used by celebrity chefs to make their gravy or sauce sound upmarket enough that they can charge ten times more for it in their restaurants than they could for 'gravy' or 'sauce'

It's like that nasty thin excuse for custard being called 'creme anglais' Give me proper thick custard! None of than nasty thin stuff because the chef is scrimping ingredients! Bah!

Jus is so the year before last year dahling...it's back to being gravy now. It's about "honest" food nowadays.

In fact you could say anywhere calling gravy anything other than gravy is just so the year before last year

 

[Tharg2007]

its all gravy

 

[Noodley]

Ah, but what if I wanted to be next year?

I believe next year is the year after the year before the year before last year. So you'll be fine with Gravy. It all comes around.

I was a chef as lots of you know. I know that the name Jus is a fresh gravy not from a powder and creme anglais is the same just not from powder.

I can say from experience that gravy looks remarkably similar to chocolate custard, but tastes nowhere near as good on a chocolate sponge.B)
