What does GRAVY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sauce made from the juices of cooked meat, often thickened and served over meat, potatoes or other dishes.
Gravy is one of the most common sauces in home cooking, made by combining meat drippings with flour or cornstarch and liquid until it thickens over heat. Cooks in many countries make their own version of gravy, from thick brown gravy served with a roast dinner to thinner styles poured over biscuits or rice. The word gravy has also drifted into informal speech, where it can mean an easy, unearned bonus on top of something already good.
