Heartily agree, gravy uncrisps the fried exterior. I don't want gravy
with roast chicken either, ruins the crisp skin. Gravy is for the
mashed. But I generally don't want gravy on mashed, messes with the
budda, We have kasha with roast holiday turkey and I make gravy from
the roasting pan drippings. Next day we'll have open faced turkey
sammiches on toast with gravy and more kasha on the side with gravy.
For most everyday meals we don't want gravy. For med-rare cold
roastbeast sammiches gravy ruins the tomato and mayo. I can see gravy
on meat loaf but I much prefer creamy horseradish sauce. Crystal
Palace with Sprite is enough gravy for me.
