A-1 love it or hate it

That's the only way I eat it too - on toast otherwise I can't stand the taste. Can't imagine eating a spoon full

Never heard of Bisto. Where do you buy this? Sounds like something i need.

I believe it is in some Kroger stores here, and probably some other stores. It is a British product, so anyplace that has a good international section should have it. I know World Market carries it, and for a decent price. That's where I get it.

Bisto Gravy Granules Can - World Market

You'll love the Bisto Gravy Granules Can at World Market. Browse our entire collection of European, available online or at one of our 270+ stores.

I just looked, and there are 4 locations in the Boston area.

You will probably want to doctor it up for flavor, but it is quick, easy and darn near foolproof.

100% foolproof - just add boiling water and stir! The chicken one tastes good on it's own (if you're in a hurry) but the onion and the one for meat can be a bit bland but can soon be jazzed up a bit by adding the skimmed juices from the meat you're cooking!

I've only seen the beef one here. The others might be available online.

I only buy one type of Bisto and I don’t use it often but I’m never sorry when I do.
This one -

Mostly I use it as a shortcut when a dish is missing some umami and is in need of thickening and a bit of seasoning. It’s often indiscernible in the dish but certainly adds something. A good rescue remedy if something meaty is a slightly lacklustre.

I thought I was the only one using Bisto as a thickener! Whenever a recipe says to add some cornflour/water mix to thicken as required I ignore that and sprinkle some Bisto instead.

It's on offer at the Iceland Food Warehouse at the moment so I have a load coming in my delivery this evening - it's a cupboard staple in my house.

Blimey, that is a good offer.
Sadly they don’t have the Bisto Best Onion Gravy one and that’s the only one I really like.

I’m going to walk up to the Irish stores in my neighborhood to see if they sell it.

Otherwise, I’ll head to the World Market in Somerville. I think there is one in Hyannis, too. The last time I was in a World Market was in Chicago with my mom maybe 15 years and I bought so much stuff I had to borrow another suitcase to get it all back here.

Thanks Casey for pointing me in the right direction!

As for A1 sauce - I like it with BBQ'd steak
