Peasant Food

My mother-in-law used to make this, because it reminded her of England. She was from Brooklyn. My husband makes this, because it reminds him of his mother. He was born in England but grew up on Long Island. His cousin hates this (hates it, Precious), because in England, this is like school cafeteria gravy. She's from Bristol but lives near us in MA. So, we don't eat it when she comes over (plus, she brings fantastic homemade gravy). BUT it's a pantry staple in our house, and I think the reason she doesn't like it is that she had too much of it, not because it doesn't taste delicious.
