message: It says gravy is a beverage. Gravy is not a beverage, it is a sauce. I have never heard of anyone drinking gravy, it is not meant to be drunk. I am correcting this  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.89.50 (talk) 05:00, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

message: My wife and I have gotten into a bit of an argument. She says that there is no difference, in final product, between soup and gravy. You can use soup as gravy, make soup from gravy, and eat gravy like soup. I say this is not true. Any thoughts? Should we merge gravy into soup?-- --207.225.245.31 01:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Gravy is thickened, soup generally is not. They are different things and should not be merged. Jo7hs2 03:11, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

I think that "Hasselhoff's gravy" is vandalism, but I'm not sure; I can't verify that "Shay's gravy" is real, either. jaknouse (talk) 05:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed the following - seems rather unlikely (and thus should be referenced). Googling for "optimisim weddings" returns only this page, gravy + "optimism wedding" returns no hits.
*Gravy is often used in religious festivals, such as Optimisim weddings where the bride and groom both have to drink from the same gravy boat, which must be made out of paper.
If you have a reliable source for this, feel free to replace it.Robhogg (talk) 20:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: It's silly to have a minor edit war over whether American or British cuisine should come first.  The American paragraph was added first and has always been the first paragraph.  Changing sections around for no reason at all but national pride is a bad idea. (remember the petrol-gasoline wars!)  If there is a good reason to change the article and move the British cuisine paragraph above the American one then please mention it here.  Otherwise it should just be left as it always was.

replies: text: The article does read very oddly to non-Americans. It is basically about 'gravy' as the term is used in American culture and cuisine. There is a mention of other meanings in the 'Cuisines' section, but this reads like (and probably is) an afterthought. It would be better if the introductory paragraph was rewritten to explain the different uses of the term in the US and elsewhere. My suspicion is that European immigrants to the US adopted the English word 'gravy' to refer to their thickened sauces. --Ef80 (talk) 14:01, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I have never heard of any one in Australian actually eating chips and gravy, much less thinking it was edible. This must have been added by a Macc Lads fan. Does any one disagree?Professornuke (talk) 04:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  People as gravy 

message: From my long experience as a gravy consumer, whilst it is true that in the UK gravy refers to the sauce made from the meat juices, it is not the case that it refers to the unthickened meat juices alone. They are called "the meat juices". What is the source (ha!) for saying "gravy" means the unthickened meat juices in the UK? Fainites barleyscribs 13:30, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is Cream Gravy/Country Gravy listed second, and then White Gravy listed last?  They appear to be duplicates that reference each other.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.5.214.221 (talk) 21:58, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Types of Gravy 

message: It seemed odd that this section referenced Thanksgiving outside of the paragraph that referenced US Cuisine seeing as thanksgiving is a US civic holiday. I replaced ham with stuffing as ham is more traditionally associated with Christmas and Easter (Ironic that both of these Holidays celebrate the birth or rebirth of a Jewish figure by eating pork products)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.92.90.4 (talk) 17:37, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
