I wouldn't class it as a sauce, I think its part of your 5 a day

I would say it's a sauce. What would you call it, if not a sauce? Soup?

According to that font of all knowledge:

In traditional British cuisine, gravy is a sauce used on roast dinner.

It's more than a sauce. It's necessary for life.

It's a gravy.

And nothing wrong with Bisto.

It is a sauce, but not in the same way the classic French Mother Sauces are. They rely on a roux to thicken then from the start rather than whisking in flour or corn flour at the end.

No, we do proper gravy down South too.

We boil up all of our bones then stick in it the freezer.
