What spice is in Cracker Barrel's gravy?!
Has anyone else noticed that the white gravy that Cracker Barrel serves with biscuits tastes like camphor (Vick's vaporub, eucalyptus oil, etc!.)!? I usually love biscuits and gravy, but I cannot eat Cracker Barrel's! Does anyone know what spice they use that could cause that taste!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
