Barbara Posted on Jan 6, 2003, 10:40 AM Respond to this message Goto Forum Home Burdalls by cruisefan There is no beef in the gravy salt, I bring it back to Canada without problems Posted on Feb 3, 2003, 5:07 PM Respond to this message Goto Forum Home Gravy Salt Update by The packaging is on its way, hooray! Unfortunately, there'll be a further delay before I know what caramel to order, as the supplier sent samples all of which are quite light brown when mixed up as gravy. Caramel is used to colour products which are golden-brown, red-brown and all the way to near-black, and getting consistent results is an art and science in itself. After a good deal of thought I've decided I will have to supply the gravy salt at £3 per 250g during the trial. If anyone who has pre-ordered feels this change of price is unfair, please send an SAE for the return of your payment. The cost of postage and packing would be 2/3rds of the price if sent at £3 per lb. The new price is still a bargain, when you compare it with stock-cubes. The cheques sent in by the early supporters weren't cashed and have now expired . I will try and send an email to this group when the product is ready for mailing, so that the first to order can be the first recipients. I cannot yet give any valid prediction of when the first deliveries will be, nor how long it will take to fulfill the current orders. So, anyone ordering now would still be likely to have quite a long wait. If anyone would like Gravy Salt of a lighter shade before the main batch is ready, then let me know. It's fairly OK, and not really too light! A smallish number of 250g packs will be available for sending as soon as the packaging arrives. Priority will be given to those who have already ordered. All the best, Jake Posted on Nov 22, 2002, 5:58 PM Respond to this message Goto Forum Home Having just joined the great gravy salt chase.... by I am somewhat stunned at the volume of people in the same boat. Congrats on your efforts.

Posted on Dec 4, 2002, 10:22 AM Respond to this message Goto Forum Home Re: Samples? by Hello Stephanie Space Foods, who used to manufacture Burdall's in Wymondham, Leicestershire, ceased trading about two years ago. By last Christmas there was a great deal of interest in what had happened to the product. Suggestions for other ways to make gravy weren't enough to satisy real Burdall's fans, so I offered to make an alternative if enough people would pre-order. A small number of samples were sent out with the hope that good reports would encourage more to pre-order, but nothing much happened over the summer until the Let's Talk article appeared in East Anglia. Even so, the results of this were a bit of a flash in the pan, but the gravy salt is now nearing readiness.
