The fact that milk is added as a binder/emulsifier + flavor-enhancer doesn't suddenly turn it into a fucking "ragu". Further, even if gravy was the wrong term for this sauce, the correct one certainly isn't a ragu. This is much closer to a velouté [...]

I think it's much closer to a béchamel. The recipes I've found dont really create a roux first, but if they did, a Bechamel is exactly what you're creating if you add milk instead of water or broth and mix it until your wrist falls off.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
