Just picked up this thread but I have to comment on the bit in bold.

Gravy = water based. Chips = cooked in oil.

The above combination should never be served on the same plate. Oil simply doesn't mix with water.

Maybe it's a Scottish thing, but my mother still eats chips with gravy but it doesn't do it for me. I also don't recall any other international dished that combine water with oil in a dish.
Never heard of that before!

Roasted potatoes drizzled with oil and served on a roast dinner with gravy.

Pizza dough made with water and topped with freshly cooked chicken which has been roasted with oil and then sliced

Pasta boiled in water and then cooked with other ingredients in the pan with oil.

Just a couple off the top of my head so don't really get your thinking.
