hicknin' gravy really

English to Russian Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Times when the curfew laws were enforced with the long horse whip; ***** times when thicknin' gravy really ****** made with milk was served as a celebration; times of violence when threatening men with guns at the door were in deadly anger met.

Что это за похлебка у них такая была?!

молочная подливка

"И, наконец, молочная подливка (milk gravy) -- соус, приготовленный на основе сока (gravy), образовавшегося при жарке или тушении мяса, в который добавляют молоко и небольшое количество муки. Иногда такую довольно бесхитростную подливку американцы называют "деревенской" -- country gravy."

Что касается thicknin`, пусть американцы подскажут, имеется ли в виду "густая" или "сытная". Похоже, это относительно устоявшийся оборот. Поэтому я бы воспользовался опытом коллег, и вообще опустил это слово. Сказал бы "...когда молочная (деревенская) подливка, и в самом деле приготовленная на молоке, подавалась к столу по праздникам..."
Судя по рецептам Milk Gravy, туда ведь можно и воду с мукой замешать :)
Peer comment(s):

agree David Copeland : Густая. The emphasis here is really on the fact that gravy made with milk which makes the gravy thicker and more fattening.

густой соус, приготовленный на настоящем молоке

...времена, когда подаваемый к столу густой соус, приготовленный на настоящем молоке, считался роскошью...

Скорее, не густой, а \"густоватый\" (или \"довольно-таки густой\").

agree Tatyana Leshkevich : Густой.

Gravy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Gravy is a thickened sauce, usually made from a base of the juices and extractives that run from meat during cooking.

There are two basic types of meat gravy: thickened and unthickened. The unthickened gravy, in the case of red meats, is often referred to as "au jus". This is simply a cooked mixture of meat juices.

Thickened gravies are usually made starting with a roux (a mixture of fat and flour, corn starch, or arrowroot). The liquids from the cooked meat are added gradually, while continually stirring the mixture, to ensure that it mixes properly and the thickener doesn't clump. Alternatively, the thickening agent can be added to the meat juices which are then cooked, causing the gravy to thicken.

Some gravies contain milk or cream as well as meat or vegetable juices. Sometimes finely-cut pieces of meat are added back into the gravy.

A popular American dish is mashed potatoes and gravy. Gravy is also commonly eaten with meat, American style biscuits, Yorkshire pudding, and stuffing. In the UK chips and gravy is seen as a popular northern dish.

Today, completely vegetable-based gravies, suitable for vegetarians and vegans, are also made.

Some Italian Americans use the term "gravy" to refer to pasta sauce (usually tomato sauce). In many cases they do not use the word "sauce" at all when talking about what is typically referred to as "pasta sauce," using the term "gravy" exclusively.
