Quiche and Gravy - crap/not crap

[ViolentPanda]

I can't believe the unspeakable torrents of filth that some of you have come out with on this thread

...mostly after eating a plate of quiche and gravy!

I don't mind it meself, but then again I like liver, peas and gravy with chips.

My last pronouncement on this controversial topic.

Those who mock quiche are to be pitied and made an example of. Mired in the early 1980's - clinging to a vine of Neanderthal masculinity that is the only thing preventing them from being sucked into the dread quicksand that takes you in and then delivers you, stillborn and black of heart, refashioned in a grim and unspeakable likeness of Jeremy Clarkson - they truly know not what it is to be a Man. They prate and jabber with their prion-infested minds full of rage and cloudiness. They drag their knuckles in imitation of those that end up writing second-rate James Bond scripts. I turn away from them. Like this: *swish*

Those who shun gravy - yea, I call them the Lords of Dryness. Theirs is not the path of castigation that befalls the haters of quiche - they need love and gentle encouragement to walk the true path once more. Can anyone's heart fail to falter when beholding them - sitting in darkened corners, tired jaws cracking and shattering their wizened fare? They are fools parched of the stuff of life itself, doomed to wander the fringes of the desert. Heed the rusty croaks of their lamentations, and lavish them with the juice of love.

Once more the tyranny of internet-based polls forces me to retreat into obscurity But my day will come *shakes fist*

[Tank Girl]

[Rollem]

So, assuming you're not one of these sad, bitter people who have a distorted and stereotypical view of quiche in general, and you cruelly voted "crap" anyway, is it the idea of meaty gravy plus quiche that's offputting?

Yes. Each to their own and that, but the idea of a delicious quiche made all soggy and wrong with any kind of gravy makes the chunks rise in my throat.

some things are just too dry without it.

Dry food does suck, I have real problems with it and regularly use way too much condiment on everything, but I suppose I'm biased because gravy would always be my last choice. Also, quiche is a pretty wet food on its own IMO - I'm intrigued that you feel the need to moisten it further.

Whatever came first eh. Man or Gravy?

It's not our fault that you're insufficiently evolved and can't generate saliva like the rest of us, nor that you have such undeveloped hands that can't hold a glass. Even Action Man had grippable fingers and could (probably) drink from a glass whilst eating his tea rather than relying on scooping up a mixed sludge of gravy and solids.

And - for the love of gawd - there's nothing wrong with gravy – sausages and onion gravy and Yorkshires with gravy rank amongst some of the world’s finest culinary combinations. Even the chemical foulness of Bisto can be quite appetising once in a while. But for every other meal, slopped on as a matter of routine? Everything in moderation for sure, but you’re falling into a dangerous chemical habit with that gravy powder stuff – like crack cocaine and heroin it’ll eventually grab hold of you, mess with your lifestyle and tastebuds.

Break the habit, I urge you. Rediscover the true flavour of food without a thin covering of brown Bistowater. You may one day have to leave Blighty and find your gravy eating opportunities severly curtailed. What then? Withdrawal symptoms, agonising cold turkey, moaning like a old dear about this ‘ dry foreign muck?’

You can have too much of a good thing. Join Gravy-Eaters Anonymous and save yourself…

Ha! I think you'll find Action Man was just slightly hampered in that by not having a mouth or any kind of digestive system whatsoever!

And quiche is about the only thing I have gravy with!

Except nut roast.

I like quiche. And I like gravy. But on a 1 to 10 scale of wrongness, quiche + gravy = 10. It's not right. It's soooooooo wrong.
