the.com/jus
Gravy's French cousin, minus the flour, plus the attitude.
means The natural, unthickened juices released by roasted or cooked meat, often served as a light sauce.
from From French 'jus,' meaning 'juice,' which traces back to Latin 'ius' — the broth or liquid produced by cooking. It's a cousin of the English word 'juice,' which also descends from that same Latin root, making jus and juice distant linguistic siblings who ended up in very different parts of the menu.
