The utensil used to blend sauces and gravy is called a whisk. Whisks are typically made of metal wires or silicone loops attached to a handle, allowing for efficient mixing and blending of ingredients. The shape and design of a whisk make it ideal for incorporating air into Sauces and Gravies, resulting in a smoother and more evenly mixed texture. Whisks come in various sizes and styles to accommodate different cooking needs.

No, gravy typically does not contain caffeine. Gravy is usually made from meat drippings, broth, and thickening agents, none of which naturally have caffeine. However, if any ingredients or flavorings containing caffeine are added, such as certain sauces or seasonings, that could change the situation, but this is uncommon.

Gravy typically falls into the category of sauces or condiments. It is made from the juices of meats, often thickened with flour or cornstarch, and is used to enhance the flavor and moisture of various dishes. Gravy is commonly served with meats, potatoes, and other side dishes, making it a staple in many cuisines.
Gravy is typically high in calories, fat, and sodium, so it may not be the best choice for a diet. Instead, consider using lighter options like broth-based sauces or homemade gravies made with low-fat ingredients to reduce the calorie and fat content. Moderation is key if you choose to include gravy in your diet.

Not sure there is any one country that can claim gravy, as most countries have their own versions of sauces and "gravies", which have no specific pre-history. Greece and Italy make red (tomato) gravies and white (cream) gravies or sauces. France is one of the countries with a master sauce making heritage, as do Belgium, Holland and Germany. China and Indochina (Southeast Asia) has bean, fish, soy, oyster, mushroom, etc. sauces some of which are thick enough to be classed as gravies. And Eastern European countries have their own sauces and gravies many which incorporate local products, such as butter and sourcream, onions and mushrooms. Many countries I haven't mentioned have their own traditional sauces.
A posher word for gravy is "sauce." In culinary contexts, you might also encounter terms like "jus" or "demi-glace," which refer to more refined sauces typically used in gourmet dishes. These terms evoke a sense of sophistication and elevate the dish’s presentation.
Well, white sauces are by their very definition milk or milk product based sauces, rather than broth, stock, or say tomato based sauces. Brown gravy or au jus are by definition based on beef broth, beef stock or beef demiglace, whereas country gravy is a milk based gravy, generally served with pork chops or chicken fried steak. If you're asking why milk versus half and half versus light or heavy cream, my guess is the recipe you are looking at wants less fat than half and half or cream provide.
