Lawsy, I love that meal gravy. When Granny or Mother fried pork chops in that indespensable iron skillet they would make meal gravy in the same skillet. We also serve it with fried green tomatoes. Has anyone else heard of Black Sop? When Granny fried sausage she poured a little water in the skillet, stirred and served in a bowl. This was spooned over an open buscuit, or the buscuit was dredged (sopped) in it. How about Soak? That was buscuit soaked in coffee. My 89 yr. old mother has me feed her that for breakfast. She has also made me learn to cook Mush and Egg Custard. In her infirmity she has gone back to the comfort foods of her childhood. Caring for her has also taught me that hominy and parsnips are good!
