Tasted horrendous. I followed the recipe precisely too. Sure I ranted about it in last years christmas thread.
I use less carrots and less bacon and no cranberry sauce so it's more of a traditional meat gravy. I think he also puts cloves or something as well and that's also out. To be honest it's only the method I use, and then freeze it so that it is all done for the day.
Only if they're braised with butter, thyme & garlic then add the chicken stock to a boil then remove.
Exactly all my problems are dwarfed by the magnitude of the missing elf. Nah I only said that to be spritful, fairy enough!
