Number one is brown gravy (occasionally with onions or mushrooms).

Number two is cream gravy, but I don't have it too often. I'll admit, however, that that stuff tastes great!

and if you drink enough wine while you are fixing the gravy you won't know if it is good or not,right?

I love gravy. Chicken gravy. Turkey gravy. Beef gravy. It's all good. Except for white gravy. My gosh, I feel sick just thinking about it.
well the white gravy isn't my favorite either, I don't think it has any real flavor, now made with sausage,that is different, but too often it has nothing in it or so little it is bland...I will add, I am not a fan of Craker Barrel either.

I love turkey gravy, too, but my favorite is roast lamb gravy. It is made with a bit of garlic and coffee for part of the water. Rich and dark and yummy.

OMG, me too. I detest that thick gloppy stuff. Sausage gravy was foreign to me until I moved south. I have learned to make it from scratch and it's really good on biscuits, but that Cracker Barrel stuff is nasty.
A similar thing I hate is creamy soups that are so thick you can stand a spoon up in it. Its like eating wallpaper paste.

DandJ, you need to trust me on this one, you should make some with some Jimmy Dean sausage, a bit of flour, and some whole milk, salt and pepper. It's pretty darned good.

If you use a little Tony Chachere's Instant Roux instead of the flour on that, you get a brown sausage gravy instead of a white sausage gravy.

No need to go buy a brand of something, just cook the roux a bit it browns just great on it's own.
