Bisto Gravy Granules

Advantages: easy to make, tastes good

Disadvantages: it's not homemade

What with being on a diet this gravy is great!

It come's in a red cylinder shaped tube with a foil lid and a plasic lid. It has the aah! Bisto logo on the front and is very recognisable on the shelf.

In Asda it costs 98p for a 170g pot and £1.78 for a 360g pot.

Evn though you can't beat the taste of real homemade gravy Bisto is quite tasty. It's a dark brown colour, darker than the gravy I make, but it tastes pretty good. You can make it as thick or as thin as you like just by adding less or more water.

I never used to buy gravy granules as we only had gravy with our Sunday lunch and that was always homemade. But since starting the Slimming World diet this has been a godsend. If you don't know how S.W works they have original days and green days where you either eat meats mostly or veg etc. Well I quite like the green days and usually eat quorn sausages as they are 'free', mash again 'free' and then I use 1/2 a sin for Bisto! As I have found eating like this and usin up my 'free' foods with little syn value items to go with it I am loosing weight!

Overall I find Bisto a great subsitute for homemade gravy, it may not taste as good but it sure is healthier

Summary: It's not homemade but I likes it :o)
