Revisions for page
I plan to contribute to the page by making the following revisions:
- Enhancing the history section, including giving more information on the region in which it was first developed and how it became popularised and included in cuisines around the world. Including countries and companies that produce it
- Adding additional citations for the “Types” section and the “Cuisines” section, as well as additio Dubiousnal information or changes to current information on page if needed
- Adding an “information box” on the right-hand side summarising key information found in the article Gulia Conti 5 (talk) 16:32, 17 March 2025 (UTC) _
Dubious
- The claim that OXO ads were the origin of gravy as a part of British roast dinners seems really doubtful and does not actually appear in the cited source. If you are roasting meat, you will have drippings, and making gravy out of them is the obvious thing to do; surely this didn't only occur to people because of ads in the 1980s! 198.137.18.212 (talk) 18:16, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- This is an utterly preposterous claim. Gravy made from roast meat juices has been part of the British diet for centuries (particularly as part of the traditional Sunday roast). The Oxo brand is associated with stock cubes used to make casseroles and stews - the brand most associated with gravy is Bisto, who have been making gravy browning since 1908. --Ef80 (talk) 14:41, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
