The gravy they serve with steak pies in Jacconelli’s in Maryhill. Its pretty unusual stuff – totally opaque, like eating hot dark brown emulsion paint. Its very tasty but something in it is evil.
That’s because cheapo gravy including Bisto is made from maltodextrin, a food starch. I reckon Bisto is actually hot energy gel with added salt, meat flavour and colour. I use maltodextrin in my drink bottle and ususally fart violently about an hour after finishing a ride.
Baked beans are banned from the house now as I simply can’t tolerate them any more. As you age your body produces less of the enzymes needed to digest carbs and lactose so you fart more, fact.
