They answered "Brown or white." I knew better than to question them any further so just agreed to white, assuming it was like milk gravy. It was, sort of. Next day I was telling this to several co-workers and they also had never heard of chicken gravy!!! Only one who was over 60 said she vaguely remembered her mother making it. I, my daughter, many friends, etc. make it all the time. Are we unusual?
No, my Mom growing up always made chicken gravy when we had fried chicken. I'm 64 but have only made it a few times as I don't make a lot of gravy cause of the calories!
