Red eye gravy

X-Y switch · Jan 2, 2016

Just read the post about sausage gravy, speaking of gravy, does anyone know how to make red eye gravy? My Mom made it with thick country cream, flour, and grease from fried country ham, don't remember anymore other than it was delicious poured over biscuits.

X-Y switch- 'Red eye gravy' is made with coffee. Since I don't drink Coffee. I don't like it.;

I would much prefer sausage gravy and biscuits! Yum!

Xs2 on the sausage gravy! I'm not a coffee drinker either, doesn't even smell good to me. Maybe I'm not alone after all! LOL

Our red eye gravy didn't have coffee in it, can't imagine why anyone would desecrate gravy with coffee, lol.

X-Y switch- Then you did not have "Red eye gravy"!

Here is the definition of "Red eye gravy"...... "Red-eye gravy's name comes from its distinct
appearance. Prepared traditionally, with coffee and grease combined in the final step".

I am not a coffee lover but like red eye gravy. The only thing is it is very salty.

d beatty- The way we made true "Red-Eye Gravy" was...You take the ham bone that was salt cured and sliced about 1/4" thick. Fry the bones until the 'marrow' 'melted' and then removed the bones, Add flour to make a rue, then coffee and some milk and stiffen until you get to desired thickness.

I was raised on southern red eye gravy. I never made it myself and I know that it had coffee in it but it never had milk or flour. It was basically what was left after frying ham in an iron skillet with a little coffee added and cooked down. What we had was pretty thin. It may have been because we were so poor, heck after watering down the soup for 3 days it got a little runny too :lol:

I have never had a cup of coffee. I tasted it once.

X Y Switch - Interesting handle. Anything to do with the phone business, like as in a Stromberg Carlson stepper?

If I drink coffee I feel real sh-- sloppy, but I still like the smell when it is brewing.

OK, I stand corrected and I understand why most don't like "red eye gravy"

ou would probably like it made the same as the video, except with water in place of the coffee.........the way our folks made it.

Wondered if someone figure that out, you got it. Spent 43 years in the switch rooms, Stromberg steppers were my favorite but Nortel's DMS switches made them so obsolete. We probably have something in common, lol. My email is [email protected].
