The British roast dinner problem
Roast lamb is a fixture of the British Sunday table in a way it is not in most American homes, and it comes with a set of expectations: mint, redcurrant, and a gravy that can stand up to a strongly flavoured meat without being drowned by it.
That is the gap Bisto Best Lamb fills. A generic brown gravy under roast lamb tends to taste thin against the meat. A lamb-specific gravy is built with that in mind, and the herb notes are there to sit alongside mint rather than fight it.
What Bisto Best means
Bisto Best is the premium line above standard Bisto granules. The flavour is fuller and the tubs are smaller, which tells you how it is meant to be used: for the Sunday roast rather than for sausages and mash on a Tuesday.
If you are stocking a British cupboard from scratch, standard chicken granules at 450g are the workhorse and this is the occasion tub. Buying only Bisto Best is an expensive way to make weeknight gravy.
How to use it
Straight into hot water and stir, like any granule gravy. It comes into its own made with the juices from the lamb roasting tin instead of plain water: pour off the excess fat, put the tin over a low heat, add hot water and the granules, and scrape everything off the base of the tin as it thickens.
Serve it in a jug rather than over the plate, which is the British convention and lets people take as much as they want. It should pour freely rather than sit in a mound.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Bisto Best different from standard Bisto?
It is the premium tier, with a fuller flavour, sold in smaller tubs and aimed at a proper roast rather than an everyday meal.
Can I use lamb gravy with other meats?
It is built for lamb, and it is assertive. With beef it works; with chicken it tends to dominate.
Do I need mint sauce as well?
Traditionally yes, served separately. The gravy and the mint sauce do different jobs on the plate.
How do I make it richer?
Make it in the roasting tin with the meat juices rather than in a jug with plain water.
