A nearby cafe we frequent provides milk and gravy in very similar jugs. In a senior moment I reached out for a jug without looking and you guessed it poured gravy in the tea, I cannot recommend the concoction but it did put a smile on all the waiting staff.

at school in the 1950s, we lost our cook and, for a short time, had our
lunch from the local school meals service. Each course has with it the
contents of a container with a thick grey liquid - one marked 'gravy' and
the other 'custard' . I reckon they simply made grey sauce and added either
salt or sugar as appropriate.
