I think that's the main difference, white gravy has a ton of flour added to it as a thickening agent and it just makes it feel like wet bread. Brown gravy is really the same "left over pan juice" concept, it's just far smoother in consistency and largely relies on gelatin or similar to make it a bit more viscous.

It's also probably more so what you're putting it on. Brown gravy just seems to complement meat far more than white gravy does, in my opinion. Probably again that large amount of flour in white gravy just making it feel like a paste over a sauce.

You need to eat gravy made by someone cultured, you just described the “white person taco night” version of country gravy, and it’s a sad shame… because I’ve had country gravy with far more flavor than brown gravies. It’s all in the seasoning and measurements. If you’re measuring anything, you’re doing it wrong.

I do assume Quagmire was referring to coffee in the morning, not actual beans.

Hmm. Fair enough!

But I've got to admit I've never liked baked beans in any capacity. It's just one of those things where the texture and everything is all whack. Not a fan.

...you...you...don't like beans?! That's just not right!

Gotta' make a proper gravy from the meat juices.

Is the grease also not meat juice?

Most of the time, yeah, it's a part of a proper gravy...but white gravy...eww...

Things with overly smooth textures bug me. I'm not a fan of avocados either, and I at least equate the two as having a similar smooth squish. I'm also not really a fan of tinned spaghetti or anything either though, so maybe it's also that particular type of tomato sauce they're suspended in that bugs me.

I can understand that, I don't eat many kinds of meats or poultry because of a texture issue. Beans sort of helped me pick up the slack on proteins I was lacking in that regard, baked beans being a nice change of pace in particular. Texture issues suck!

You can’t reason with these types, dude. That’s why we had to leave them on their little unseasoned patch of rainy land.

To be fair, there's never really felt like a huge divide between England and Australia. I may be inclined to think that because of Neighbors being on British TV for my entire childhood.

Maybe it's because both countries love c*nt (censored because of delicate Americans.)

True, Australia is sort of just like a deadlier version of Britain with funnier accents.

I already knew vegemite was from brewer’s yeast. Why do you prefer excrement?

Other way around, Marmite is from yeast, Vegemite is pure blended excrement

Well Marmite would be a strong, yeasty taste and Vegemite would taste like you just licked the inside of a porta potty.

What brand of portapotty and what venue is it located at?

Umm. Well that I wouldn't know, I don't make it a habit to eat Vegemite enough to know specifics.

It'd be a short war, we even have the Kiwis on our side, though their Marmite is, for some reason, labeled as being for the Sanitarium, which is a tad strange.

If you’re putting gravy on it, it’s probably not a biscuit. It’s also probably not gravy. Gravy goes on your roast dinner. Biscuits go in your tea. As suggested above, digestives are good. Bourbons are also good, but this is not whiskey. It is biscuit. Trust the English people - we English better than non-english English.
