Buttermilk is milk that has been purposefully fermented by an acidic bacteria. It has a slightly sour taste and is used in recipes and to drink. Some lactose-intolerant people can tolerate buttermilk because a large part of the lactose in the milk is fermented. Gravy is a saucy liquid that can add robust and/or complementary flavors to certain foods. Buttermilk gravies are tasty additions to many meat and poultry dishes.
