It means that which has been easily acquired, or something that was extra in some way, such as a bonus. Much in the same way that gravy is an extra on top of the basics of a meal. A "gravy train" was US railroad slang for working an easy trip where the pay was good.

What does it mean if someone is digging your gravy and yes I said and meant gravy?

I dont know what you mean but maybe the person was hungry.Another suggestion:Back in the 1960s the term 'dig' was used informally to indicate one liked something, as in 'I really dig this music'. The term is especially associated with the hippy movement, or lack of movement, because the philosophy of hippies was not to do very much at all.In that context, the phrase 'I'm digging your gravy' would mean 'I'm enjoying your gravy', and the person speaking about the gravy would be using the phrase as a humorous reference to the common phrase, 'digging (you're) grave'.However, today the phrase 'digging your gravy' is also used to indicate someone thinks you're really hot. Not sure of the exact origin, but it's possibly arisen among people in contact with former-hippy grandparents. No doubt the pun on 'grave' is intentional.
