I don't use gravy. I actually don't use much in the way of extra flavoring. I love the lightly salted and buttered taste enough. Gravy sometime for a change of pace, but most of the time without.

In the same vein I don't use steak sauce on steak or taco sauce on tacos. The natural taste is just too good to cover up.
For me, no to steak sauce, and maybe to tacos. Tacos with homemade seasoning? No. Tacos with something like Old El Paso seasoning? Yes. In my favorite Mexican restaurant? Absolutely not.

As for mashed potatoes, I like them with gravy, but probably only make gravy maybe 1 in every 5 times.
 
I've always had a soft spot for McCormick brown gravy packets. It's a familiar taste that I enjoy and goes good with pretty much anything. Besides that, I make a homemade turkey gravy on Thanksgiving that is very good. I roast the neck with veggies, then make the gravy using those drippings and fresh herbs. I really should do that more often with a roast chicken or roast pork tenderloin throughout the year, it's a lot of work but is very worth the effort.
Yeah I don't normally cook a whole turkey, but I thought I'd christen my new home with the smell of roasted bird last Thanksgiving when I found out the food bank down the street was giving out Butterballs. I found a carbon steel, non stick roasting pan marked down to $10 from $40 at Fred Meyers. It was a 12 lb bird, but thankfully I measured it's temp well before the time it was supposed to be done, as it cooked way faster than their instruction. It was a very good turkey, but IMO Butterball puts WAY too much sodium in them. It made a nice gravy, just a bit too salty.
 
Oof, between the money I "saved" buying this computer, the money I found in Venmo and the money I'll receive when I sell my other computer, it's burning a hole in my pocket.

Tariffs don't help though, that's part of what's doing it. There's things I want, that I'd be content to wait for, but I'm worried I'll just end-up paying more in the long run, so I've ordered them now. At this point, I've spent $250 in the past two days on random odds and ends, having just dropped $50 of that on a box of models, as they're manufactured in the UK and I'm worried they'll near double in price over the next few months.

Somebody stop me...

Butter, salt, and pepper can be considered gravy if you use enough butter!

I also don't bother with steak sauce - but your tacos must taste a lot better than mine.

My broker called me up and told me that Wall Street is having a 10% off sale.
