That's pretty much how I felt when I tasted the sausage gravy made with
plain sausage, using the sausage-fat roux/milk method-- all I could taste
was fat. I guess it's all in what you are used to.

Now, mind you, I don't recall anyone complaining about our version in the
past-- the one person who brought it up only complained a year later, and
of course the lady who cooked it with italian sausage under duress said it
wasn't as good as the kind she made at home. *shrug*

I guess we're just crass, down here in the hinterlands. :)
