Well?

Yes, it one of the 4 fundamental sauces.

What's more, with an Oxo cube you actually have discreet portions of gravy. It's quantised!

Quantised gravy is a good step to a grand universal theory of sauces.

In southern chip shops it’s the equivalent of dark matter.

This is discussed in A Brief History of Thyme by Prof Stew Drippings. Why are Cumberland Sausages curved and Fusion Cuisine ~ Why Snack Holes inevitably lead to Spaghettification.

What the OP has done is not just quantising it, but ignoring it altogether, thereby cleverly (apolîtically) obscuring the original problem.

King of The Wild Frontier ‘Gravy Croquette’ used to use gravy to lube his musket before shooting raccoons.

Gravity is broken and it is now over there for some reason

Of course it exists, you moron!

And anti-gravy is typically only ever found around jacket potatoes.

Correct. And did you know that the sister of King Edwards mum, whom he called Auntie Gravy, was sentenced to 24 hours in the stocks where she got pelted with onions, carrots and a bouquet garni.

A gravy well?

It's certainly a strange attractor...

An Oxo cube isn’t gravy, it’s stock.

Like to share your wisdom ?

Aye, probably a well staffed by hipsters wearing leather aprons, sporting twizzly moustaches and selling locally sourced organic artesian  gravy.

An Oxo cube is a stock cube, or boullion if you want to be fancy. Whilst stock is an important ingredient in gravy, it isn't gravy.

Keeping it relative, here's a question for the thread:
Is gravy a non-Newtonian fluid?
Apologies if that is too specific.

Of course it is. Who would make gravy from newts and onions?

There was a grand unified theory of sauces perhaps discovered (some people claim earlier discoveries) by A. Escoffier, that the myriad of what he termed "daughter" sauces are based from 4 fundamental "mother" sauces. Further analysis over the years has suggested that these fundamental "mothers" may in turn be based on discrete components themselves known as "ingredients". Flinging sauce at walls either up or down and looking how they dried initially yielded some insights suggesting what is proposed as flour, with some brown beefy stuff as potential ingredients. A mysterious component called egg seems present too in some other cases but it's unclear if eggs themselves may have constituents which can exist in 2 states, termed yellow and white. More work is needed to know if egg can spin and if it comes in discrete quantities. The limit of discovery using up and down flinging at kitchen walls has been reached so there is a fundraising mission to build a giant cannon straddling Geneva but there is no agreement whether it should be fired into Switzerland, something the Swiss insist on or against a purpose built kitchen wall in France which the French regard as essential. British sauciers have pointed out that Escoffier actually developed his foundational theories while in London, so they should be considered British and conducted with beef gravy and dripping. But the French put their fingers in their ears and pretend they can't hear what was said, while muttering about Brexit, the Swiss politely decline to comment. We are still a long way from a full understanding but work will continue, provided that funding is secured

When I’m feeling posh, I make a highly refined gravy  by getting up at the crack of dawn, going onto my lawn and collecting the early morning jus.

I got it!

Although it is Saturday morning, almost 12 hours later.

I have observed gravy on several occasions to be composed solely of gluons.  Mysterious and strange textured fabric of the saucetime continuum

In reply to Morty:

Albert Einstein wrote the Gravy Theory of Relativity. So far, it’s every prediction about Gravy has been proved correct.   
 

The Laser Interferometer Gravytational-Wave Observatory(LIGO) is a large-scale physics experiment and observatory designed to detect cosmic gravy waves and to develop gravy-wave observations as an astronomical tool.

It is an article of my wife’s religion that “b***o” is not gravy, but some form of hell spawned abomination designed to tempt the unwary.
