    i was told by a brit that american biscuits were “salty scones”

    and i have never wanted to complain more in my life. Especially given the american propensity to make shit sweet as fuck.

      It’s true, the “biscuits and gravy” biscuits are closer to scones than what a Brit would think of as a biscuit.

      Also, biscuits and gravy, wtf

          Biscuits with sausage gravy doused in hot sauce and a couple fried eggs make a great breakfast

            In this case I prefer fresh cracked black pepper to hot sauce. No other notes.

              I think he’s a trucker. the biscuits and gravy at a Love’s I could see dumping hot sauce on. Not generally though.

        do the brits not have bread?

        That’s pretty much what a biscuit is here. Also what do you mean wtf biscuits and gravy slaps.

        Also, biscuits and gravy, wtf

        I may lose my Yank card for this, but I’m not a fan myself. That said, it’s just scones and bechamel sauce. Hearty, meaty, salty and what you can do with the rendered fat from greasy breakfast sausage*. It’s basically hangover food that caught on.

        (* There’s a subset of traditional American food that stems from doing a lot with very little, while having a complete disregard for cholesterol and calorie intake. Assuming that wheat and dairy are the cheapest things in your pantry, you get stuff like this. See “scrapple” for another example.)

      I had the distinct pleasure of explaining what biscuits and gravy were to a confused 6th Doctor Who actor Colin Baker. To his credit, he said he’d like to try it.

            judging by the amount of posts/comments, yeah, makes sense.
