Roux
Roux () is flour and fat cooked together and used to thicken sauces. Roux is typically made from equal parts of flour and fat by weight. The flour is added to the melted fat or oil on the stove top, blended until smooth, and cooked to the desired level of brownness. Butter, vegetable oils, bacon drippings or lard are commonly used fats. Roux is used as a thickening agent for gravy, sauces, soups and stews. It provides the base for a dish, and other ingredients are added after the roux is complete.
Nux (Mad Max character)
Nux drives a highly customized 1933 Chevrolet 5 Window Coupe with a big block V8 engine. The hot rod stripped of all paint also has a basic nitrous oxide installation engaged manually by a crank valve for a boost in power. The front of the vehicle is equipped with a lancer's perch. The cross is used to hold Max while he is acting as Nux's blood bag. The steering wheel is custom and completely removable. In the back there is space for a passenger, in the movie it is occupied by the character "Slit". Peculiarly, the vehicle is capable of driving in reverse at high speeds. Nux considers the vehicle just as expendable as himself; he does not hesitate to flood the cabin with gasoline to make it into a driving suicide bomb to facilitate the glorious death he desires.
