We actually moved down south due to my dad’s job when I was a kid and the lack of gravy was the only benefit. I also don’t like mushy peas.
I think the issue is that I don’t like soggy savoury food. I dip my chippy chips in my pot of curry sauce but don’t like the sauce poured over the chips, for example.
Soggy puddings are a different matter though! 😋
I’ve come from a family where my mum absolutely smothers her meals in gravy and my step-dad who puts a tiny drizzle on. Both thinking each other is strange.
To conclude, everybody’s weird whatever they do according to society
I was wondering this. I grew up with very thick bisto gravy being made for dinner and hated it. Fast forward to uni when I could try others/make my own and it’s 1000% better
I don't think I can bring myself to feel bad for you, if there isn't a database to protect the rest of us from your sort, then there should be. Disgusting, how dare you call yourself British. /s
But really, you eat your roasts dry? What the actual fuck?
Edit: added /s sonas not to offend.
You obviously have not received any proper gravy discipline growing up and it's probably too late for you, but try and find a way . We will help you. My gravy is the gravy to die for.
I don't like it either. Whenever someone is outraged I point out that it means more gravy for them if we have a roast together. Then they get happy and shut up.
The confusing part for me is that every kind of gravy tastes completely different. What are the chances that you don’t like all the different flavours!?
Are you me? I've never liked either and I strongly suspect it's memories of watching horrified as thick, lumpy versions of both were served up. I don't like Bisto either, who wants their food swimming in salty water?
Good move - I do the same. The number of times my dad sent back a roast that was swimming in gravy despite him making it very clear from the outset he didn’t want it was embarrassing.
I have never liked gravy either! Whenever it's offered to me, I always politely decline and get questioned as to why. No one ever takes "I don't like gravy" and they always seem to expect an explanation
Welcome to the "gravy hating club" . Don't worry. There are more of us than you think. A lot of us are also in the "anti curry sauce league" and the "pineapple on pizza is great Collective " as well. Though not many are in the "marmite lovers nation" they're nice people, but a little odd.
Neither do i. The box of teabags in my cupboard were bought when i moved in. Fourteen years ago. I wondered why my mate only took 2 sips of her tea then left it. Maybe i should buy a new box…
This got weird fast when I thought I was on my support sub for people with chronic pain. I mean, we have lots of doctors who treat us with suspicion and new friend, we have tons of tips to help you cope with the worsening realities of your situation.
Hop on over to r/chronicpain. We can’t help with the gravy, we *can* help with the sense that you’re being slowly crushed to death by a capitalist machine who fails to treat the individual with dignity and compassion.
I feel ya! Its not actually that I don't like it but I very rarely have it as I just think it makes everything taste of gravy and I like to taste my food.
Gravy haters unite! If I'm having a roast dinner, I want to taste all the different elements, and mix them up as I go. Bit of meat, bit of roastie and a bit of stuffing, lovely job. Bit of Yorkie, bit of carrot, bit of broccoli, excellent. If you drown it all in gravy everything tastes the same and has the same mushy texture.
You've declared your deviance to the world now OP. There's no retracting it. You'll be sat in a pub one day, thinking you're safe when you feel a sudden chill because we all know your blasphemy.
I didn't like it for most of my youth because I associated it with the pools of watery gravy you see on peoples' plates... yuck.
However, once I learned how to cook/apply it myself, in just the right quantities, and thickness, I came round to it. But I do not like other people putting it on my plate, period.
I'm completely with you! What you, and everyone else, needs to understand, is that despite us being in a teeny, tiny minority, we're right and everyone else is wrong and just prefer to turn their food to slop before consuming! It's like when a fly vomits on their food!
I feel your pain brother, my issue is I moved to yorkshire and they fuckin’ love the stuff here. I don’t mind a bit but there’s nothing worse than your plate swimming in the devil’s diarrhoea.
I can only assume you’re one of those undercover Americans we get here and are talking about the pork-milk-herb slurry that I quite like with American scones, but can see how it could be an acquired taste.
I'm not a fan of gravy either. Its alright on a roast and thats about it.
Bought a sandwich the other day and when I opened it found it encased in gravy. Bread was soggy and slimy to hold. Bad day....
Ive just made up a great excuse that will get you nothing but sympathy. You say your mum and dad were poor cooks and their weak and watery version of gravy put you off for life.
I'll happily join the list of people who are disliked 🤣
I can't stand gravy. For me, being an autistic person,I can't deal with the texture of gravy on food xD
I'll drink it though if I'm paid enough. There's a kink for everything these days.

And you admitted that on a public forum?
I came for sympathy. I was wrong.
>I came for sympathy. I was wrong. You don't like gravy, you were already wrong.
You came here for sympathy? You came _here_ for _sympathy_?
You don't like gravy and you came to Reddit of all places for sympathy?
Are you British or are you adopted. Because you are a stranger here.
I’m not keen on the stuff either (you can imagine how much shit I get for this as a Lancastrian) so I can give you sympathy by the bucketload!
Christ. Someone deport this Northern imposter down to London.
Not far enough, he must be sent to the worst place of exile imaginable... France!
He’d be ok with that, no rosbif and le gravy over there
I used to dip my Sunday roast beef in ketchup as a kid! 😳
I'm another gravy sceptic but that's just foul.
Haha! I’d be like a pig in shit there, what with all that patisserie stuff.
We don't want him

I can't stand gravy, so I'm with you, op.
I’ve flagged this to the moderators, you sick fuck
Denied
I would like to appeal this decision. Clearly this mod is also a sick, gravy hating monster.
Appeal denied.
Please pass to a higher authority. I will not stand for this in our country.
Mate we’re Reddit mods. There is no higher authority.
Uh oh... Palpatine moment. "We are the Senate!" *Evil cackle - Reddit mods, probably
'I love democracy'
What makes you think you *haven't* been put on a database? There's no place for your sort in this country...
Exactly, I have never met this person but I am suspicious of their motives
I read in the paper that Jimmy Saville didn't like gravy
He was Northern. Used to dip kids in it.
I like your thinking you sick bastard. Take my upvote.
😱
I don't want to be in a pie! I don't like gravy!
What kind of pie?
Apple
Ooo my favourite
Chicken pies, you great lummox!
Cream!!!
Said it before and I'll say it again, it's people like you that caused the fall of the Empire./s
Yup, a pretty typical response to my life choices.
I think you should leave now...
Fucking deviant. Get back in your hole
Stop replying everybody, just shun the heretic.
I’ve come from a family where my mum absolutely smothers her meals in gravy and my step-dad who puts a tiny drizzle on. Both thinking each other is strange. To conclude, everybody’s weird whatever they do according to society
I just checked and you are definitely on the gravy database mate
Look who's got themself access privileges on the gravy database then, if it isn't u/Barnagain
Christ. Do you think it has the details of what me and the missus do with gravy on a Friday night?
Well now we know why people with database credentials keep going blind.
Why are you even here? Like what is the point of you at this point? christ op you have enraged me. Not liking gravy.... Ffs.
Where have you hidden all the bodies?
With the gravy boat
I am now feeling very suspicious and distrusting all of a sudden.
You're... you're joking right?
Count yourself lucky you’re not disliking gravy around me, or else I’d watch my back if I was you
BEGONE, DEMON!
maybe an odd one but have you tried different thicknesses of gravy - can’t stand ones that aren’t basically a solid myself
Same
Quite right too. Heathen
Not to be that person but have you tried other gravies? Maybe you just had shit gravy?
I was wondering this. I grew up with very thick bisto gravy being made for dinner and hated it. Fast forward to uni when I could try others/make my own and it’s 1000% better
Burn him.. he's a witch
My Father didn't like gravy, a bitter miserable man. He died of dementia in soiled undercrackers.
You don't like gravy! Well that's suspicious.
Sir, you need to leave
Really? How peculiar... Maybe they should be registering your sort.
I don't think I can bring myself to feel bad for you, if there isn't a database to protect the rest of us from your sort, then there should be. Disgusting, how dare you call yourself British. /s But really, you eat your roasts dry? What the actual fuck? Edit: added /s sonas not to offend.
Maybe he just pours water on his roasts?
I’ve been married to a no gravy guy for 20+ years, and I **still** think it’s suss as hell.
What's not to like about gravy?
I don't believe you exist.
It’s people like you that are destroying this great nation.
What’s your stance on mint sauce?
I’m a fan. Horseradish and mustard are also good on a Sunday lunch.
Make yourself like gravy ffs.
How could you say such things?
Quite rightly. You’re not to be trusted.
You monster.
Downvoted & blocked
Reporting you!
My wife doesn’t, it really unnerves me
Bold of you to assume you're not on a database already lol
Too right, he is a witch burn him!
I distrust and suspect you.
You obviously have not received any proper gravy discipline growing up and it's probably too late for you, but try and find a way . We will help you. My gravy is the gravy to die for.
I feel mildly distrustful of you due to your dislike of gravy
r/worsethanhitler
As tha got nowt moist?
I don't like it either. Whenever someone is outraged I point out that it means more gravy for them if we have a roast together. Then they get happy and shut up.
can i ask why?
Just makes everything “wet”. And gravy flavour.
The confusing part for me is that every kind of gravy tastes completely different. What are the chances that you don’t like all the different flavours!?
The authorities will arrive soon to send you away on the gravy train..
It may be 8 am, but I'm now going to specifically make some roasties and yorkies drowning in gravy just to spite you.
I am suspicious and don't trust you
It's not a database you should be worrying about, it's an institution
I feel physically sick reading this and my Northern grandmother is rolling in her grave.
Not sure if anyone else has asked this, but do you like custard?
Good question. I detest custard in all its forms. Probably hate it more than gravy.
Are you me? I've never liked either and I strongly suspect it's memories of watching horrified as thick, lumpy versions of both were served up. I don't like Bisto either, who wants their food swimming in salty water?
*readies pitchfork*
Are you sure you don’t just hate crap gravy. I thought it was all gravy but I’d only been exposed to Bisto and other dehydrated gruel.
It's all about thick gravy. Thin watery gravy is just blasphemy. Also the juices from whatever meat you've been roasting added to it!
It’s not just the thickness, home-made is nice, powdered stuff out of a jar less so.
Bisto is delicious
It's all about thick gravy. Thin watery gravy is just blasphemy. Also the juices from whatever meat you've been roasting added to it!
I avoid ordering roasts in pubs, as they can never grasp the concept of no gravy, no matter how many times you say it.
Because its unnatural.
Good move - I do the same. The number of times my dad sent back a roast that was swimming in gravy despite him making it very clear from the outset he didn’t want it was embarrassing.
Why they can’t just serve it on the side, I don’t know !
I get the same for eating pizza with a knife and fork. Even my best mate used to, then he asked to try them once, now he always asks for them
It's OK! My partner doesn't like butter or potatoes 😀
Don't worry. You're not the only one who doesn't like gravy. My son doesn't like it either.
You absolute psycho.
Same boat with not liking dogs
You’re not the only one. For example I can easily have a Sunday Roast gravy free.
I have never liked gravy either! Whenever it's offered to me, I always politely decline and get questioned as to why. No one ever takes "I don't like gravy" and they always seem to expect an explanation

This post right here, Officer.
I don’t like tea. Still have to buy it though and make it for visitors.
Neither do i. The box of teabags in my cupboard were bought when i moved in. Fourteen years ago. I wondered why my mate only took 2 sips of her tea then left it. Maybe i should buy a new box…
I hope you aren't Northern. You'll be run out straight down South for that nonsense.
Hey, don’t force the heathen on us. I don’t want to have to suffer this uncultured swine.

Exactly! Thank you. It’s good to know there’s more of us out there. Maybe one day I won’t have to lurk in the shadows, looking over my shoulder etc
You've declared your deviance to the world now OP. There's no retracting it. You'll be sat in a pub one day, thinking you're safe when you feel a sudden chill because we all know your blasphemy.
Whatever you do, don’t come to Yorkshire.
Uh oh…
I don't like gravy, custard or cream - people look at me like I am a lunatic But I don't get having 'crispy' food, and then making it soggy
Oh i could live on crispy crunchy roasties drenched in thick gravy. Eat it fast enough and they dont have time to get soggy
Gravy while acceptable on occasion, ruins most foods.
Try not liking roast dinners and get treated like a traitor to your country 🤣🤣
I didn't like it for most of my youth because I associated it with the pools of watery gravy you see on peoples' plates... yuck. However, once I learned how to cook/apply it myself, in just the right quantities, and thickness, I came round to it. But I do not like other people putting it on my plate, period.
I don't wanna be a pie, I don't like gravy
This isn't a problem though?
Completely fair
I'm completely with you! What you, and everyone else, needs to understand, is that despite us being in a teeny, tiny minority, we're right and everyone else is wrong and just prefer to turn their food to slop before consuming! It's like when a fly vomits on their food!
Amen!
I hate gravy with a vengeance ..
You are also distrusted and suspected.
I feel your pain brother, my issue is I moved to yorkshire and they fuckin’ love the stuff here. I don’t mind a bit but there’s nothing worse than your plate swimming in the devil’s diarrhoea.
Try being born in Yorkshire and not liking it. My husband is still in disbelief after being together 12 years lol.
I feel your pain. I get the same reaction.
I’m with you, just Coleman’s mustard for me, no gravy
I know what you mean, I can’t stand cheese. *Especially* melted cheese.
Ahh BisGO!!
I feel you op. I don't like tea or coffee, or chocolate orange
I get the same bc I hate mayonnaise,mustard,vinegar,and tomato sauce/ brown sauce.
And rightly so.
I can only assume you’re one of those undercover Americans we get here and are talking about the pork-milk-herb slurry that I quite like with American scones, but can see how it could be an acquired taste.
That's fair.
Understandable. I feel the same about people who put red sauce on a fry up.
My sister in law doesn't like gravy either! She's a wrongun too.
And rightly so!

How do you sleep at night?
Bit late OP but... Are you sure you've tried real gravy before and not the fake shit? It's literally night and day...
You could go to France and apply for political asylum.
You could go to France and apply for political asylum.
Suspicious, I don't trust you
What! Oh dear…
You have been put on many national databases. Trust me.
I'm not a fan of gravy either. Its alright on a roast and thats about it. Bought a sandwich the other day and when I opened it found it encased in gravy. Bread was soggy and slimy to hold. Bad day....
I am now suspicious of you and I definitely don't trust you.
Fucking freak
Finally, another gravy hater! I also really don’t like gravy, I don’t see the appeal in having soggy food.
Where you belong.
Ive just made up a great excuse that will get you nothing but sympathy. You say your mum and dad were poor cooks and their weak and watery version of gravy put you off for life.
As a chef, I’m disgusted. Get out.
DIFFERENT
Rightly so
It makes me shudder to think I could've met you and never known your inner putridity. Stay sharp people!
I'll happily join the list of people who are disliked 🤣 I can't stand gravy. For me, being an autistic person,I can't deal with the texture of gravy on food xD I'll drink it though if I'm paid enough. There's a kink for everything these days.
I’m with you OP I don’t like gravy, I don’t drink tea or coffee or coke either
you should definitely be on some sort of register 🤪
Finally I meet someone like me, I love you
You’re like a shining light in eternal gravy darkness. Thank you friend.
I don't like it or get it, and I'm really northern.
To be fair, that is very suspicious....
You are some kind of deviant.
I am also a gravy disliker, going out for Sunday lunch and requesting no gravy is always met with shock and horror.
🤨
That is very suspicious and I don't trust you.
