Bear Food

Oh, the memories I have of my Aunt Re serving us Bear Food. I believe the story went that Dave wouldn't eat it unless she called it that.
It's gravy on bread.

We like the roast leftovers in the gravy too.
Though I remember just plain white bread, Mandy likes hers made with toast..
No matter... it's all yummy!!!
