Brits apparently eat two months’ worth of gravy in their lifetime – but are they doing it correctly?

You may have seen a recent report that says Brits spend two months of their lives eating gravy. Not – we understand – a glorious two months in their twenties working their way through a mountain of roasties, but added up one Sunday dinner or pie and mash at a time.

But do they know how to eat gravy properly? Let’s turn to etiquette expert and host of the hilarious podcast Help, I Sexted my Boss, William Hanson, and comedian Joe Tasker, who expertly follows William’s instructions. Actually, he expertly doesn’t follow William’s instructions.

What’s the point of a pour spout on the gravy jug if you’re going to ladle it?
