"The term "gravy" first appears in Middle English as gravé and is presumed to derive from French, since the word may be found in numerous medieval French cookbooks!. The original medieval meaning was precise: the gravé consisted of the natural cooking juices that flowed from roasting meat!. By implication, this meat was spit-roasted, and therefore two important implements were required to make and collect the gravy: a flesh fork for piercing the meat in order to increase the flow of drippings, and a dripping pan beneath the roast, designed to collect the gravy for use at table!. Normally the gravy was skimmed of fat, salted, and then sent up as a sauce, although presalting was not necessary, since this could be accomplished to taste at table!. The term in this sense has been replaced today by jus, as in beefsteak au jus!."

as the term is derived from the french "gravé " I would think that Yes the europeans know what gravy is!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sure all of Europe knows what gravy is!. Even the folks in Africa know it but every language has a different name for it!.
