It’s 2am and I’m only half awake because of all the sleeping pills but I just had a million dollar idea and if I put it on the internet no one can steal it, plus I’ll remember it in the morning.
STRAWBERRY GRAVY.
That is all.

Already been done, they call it “strawberry gastric.” Made with balsamic vinegar and very tasty on foie gras or pork tenderloin. Mebbe if you went with something a little more exotic, like “banana gravy,” or “pumpkin gravy” you’d be able to corner a whole new market.

Laurie recently posted..Small Projects
Here’s why this is a great idea:
Several years ago, my dad decided to make himself an ice cream sundae before going to bed. For some reason, he did not think it prudent to turn on a light, and did this all by the light of the fridge and the streetlight shining through the window. He scooped himself some vanilla ice cream, covered it in macerated strawberries (look at me, all culinary) and took it upstairs to his room. He turned on the tv, got all settled in, and took a big bite…
…of vanilla ice cream covered in beef stew.
Strawberry gravy would have prevented this tragedy from happening.
I can only be grateful that he did not offer my mom a bite first.
I shall fondly remember this post as originally being “BET IDEA EVER”. Classic.

My aunt makes strawberry dumplings. She takes strawberries and kind of simmers them with loads of sugar and water and then cooks small balls of homemade biscuit dough. It’s kind of like gravy when it’s done. It’s also a little like sugar heaven.

I sort of feel like strawberry gravy is… strawberry yogurt?

In a world where chocolate gravy exists, this is not too far off the beaten path.
That being said, I wonder how hard it could be to make it?
If I figure it out (& its tasty), I’ll post the recipes and pictures.

Fabulous idea! It’s already kind of happened though.
I’ve made this recipe for me & hubby and it is essentially pork chops with Strawberry/Raspberry gravy. And it is delicious! http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Strawberry-Pork-Chops

Strawberry gravy makes me think of the stuff that goes on strawberry shortcake…

There ya go… just a little red on everything. Just for color. Now who wouldn’t want that?
Do we actually get strawberry chunks in there or is it smooth in your version.. Maybe you hadn’t thought it through at the time.

It actually exists already. Just google strawberry gravy recipe and you’ll get a ton of hits. It’s great on biscuits and waffles btw.
I don’t know about strawberry, but my Aunt Kaye from Arkansas makes a great chocolate gravy on biscuits that’s to die for.

Eh, I’ve already admitted to eating mashed potatoes like it’s ice cream. Why not? I am all for it.
Strawberries automatically means healthier…. right?

Chocolate gravy and biscuits. Yum. Strawberries and chocolate. Yum. Strawberry gravy? Why not!
I laughed so hard I nearly spilt my TARDIS of coffee over myself.

I have totally done that. Jotted something down in the middle of the night that I was convinced was utter brilliance only to wake up and wonder WTF I was thinking….

Gotta love those middle of the night ideas! I always wonder what the hell I was thinking the next day…
Clearly you should take Ambien, this way when you wake up , you’d already have it made. Yumm, Strawberry Gravy . Its a breakfast food or a trendy drink with Vodka.
No! This was a brilliant idea!! I’m thinking strawberry gravy over angel food cake…over biscuits…over toast.
OMG the possibilities!!!

Jenny, I love strawberry gravy! But I call it “strawberry sauce” when I make it. I posted it on my blog a year ago. But I absolutely concede that it was clearly your idea first… a year later… somehow… I don’t really understand quantum physics like Dr. Who does… but I give you all the credit because I love you! It’s super easy to make too.

Yes, the best idea ever on Internet. Even more popular than “Strawberry Jelly”!
My grandmother makes a breakfast that we always called “strawberries and biscuits” – it’s basically homemade biscuits, with blended strawberries mixed with sugar in a bowl, and then you add some milk and dip the biscuits in them….it’s really, really good! She also makes “chocolate gravy and biscuits” – it’s a once a year thing.

My family has a “sweet” gravy like that. Chocolate gravy with biscuits!! Delicious!!
Damn, woman. This is the shit that makes me love the heck out of you. Your brain is RAD.

This was a charming sleeping pill induced post. I am extraordinarily afraid of tweeting random nonsense while under the influence of sleeping pills. This fear isn’t too irrational because I’ve numerous friends who tweet and text bizzaro stuff while on Ambien.
Ugh, sleeping pills never work for me anyway. They turn me into a zombie.

I make Chocolate Gravy, serve it warm over biscuits, it’s very yummy. Kind of like chocolate pudding, but it’s not chocolate pudding. Never heard of it, until my husband who comes from the Ozarks in Arkansas, told me about it, and asked me to make it. And as luck would have it, I found a recipe for it. Who knew?
Only on ice cream.

Okay, so I had this boyfriend in high school who’s mother made chocolate gravy and biscuits. Yeah, I know. Ew. Except it wasn’t “ew”. It was freaking YUM. So, after your revelation of strawberry gravy, I think we need to combine forces and make chocolate/strawberry gravy to go over pancakes and waffles and biscuits and shortcakes and ice cream and fresh strawberries and well, anything. Except fried chicken. Nothing will make fried chicken better than it already is. Because… FRIED. CHICKEN. Sorry, Beyonce.
OMG OMG OMG! I just saw Dawn’s comment (197)! Chocolate gravy is the bomb diggity, baby.
