Biscuits and Gravy

First, when aussies talk about biscuits, we mean sweet biscuits, which you call cookies. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing these biscuits are kind of like a plain scone???

So, do you like biscuits and gravy?
What kind of gravy do you like on biscuits?
When was the last time you ate biscuits and gravy?

It's all right. It's nothing to write home about. Maybe if I'd been born in Mobile, buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy would be the flavour of home---------------I'm from Wisconsin. We want pickled herring and bavarian-style saurkraut.

It's one of my favorite breakfast meals, not the healthiest thing to eat though. I just like the regular white gravy with lots of pepper, and I mean lots. It's been months since I've had it.

...it's definitely good breakfast food. We had it all the time up at camp, only they called it SOS (if you draw a distinction between SOS and the supposed 'biscuits and gravy'...stop. It's all bread with food garbage on top. It's one step up from pig-slop. Quit being a snob, for crying out loud).

American biscuits are like a soft, savory, buttermilk scone.

I don't really care for biscuits & gravy, because I don't like white gravy.
I *love* biscuits, though. Melt some butter into 'em, top 'em with jam, make a sandwich out of 'em, eat 'em plain, they're great! (As long as they're still soft.)

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

....man alive. I love KFC biscuits with honey.

I'd probably commit a crime to get Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits.

(*tries to imagine combination of KFC and Red Lobster biscuits with sausage gravy on top--------------heart kasplodes*)

KFC biscuits are incredible, but they give you that fake honey now, cheapskates.

I dunno. I like eggs more.

I went to the corner diner, and as an experiment, I got two scambies and two fried. Corned beef hash, coffee and orange juice as a control. I think I like scambies better. It's not a bad experiment to do yourself, unless you gots a heart flutter or somethn

Corned beef hash is worth a heart flutter.

Continuing the experiment. They messed up my order a little (forgot the orange juice, and they brought me hash browns instead of corned beef hash). Scambies versus sunny-side-up (not the same as fried. I will fight you).

Scrambled still wins------------you know, I'll be the first one to acknowledge it, the yolk is gross. It's just this mass of stuff. I know it's the healthy part, the part loaded with all the vitamins and protein and all----------that doesn't alter the fact that it's disgusting and I don't like it. Anyone who tries to convince me otherwise should try eating eggs without salt and pepper. Yeah, it's really easy to like the yolk when you're having a devilled egg, you cheater.

A place in Alabama. I wasn't trying to disparage it, it was just the first place I thought of when I thought 'place where people probably like biscuits and gravy'.

Yolks tastes good if it's a scrambled egg, but any time you can taste the yolks in a more concentrated way, like a hard boiled egg, it's kinda gross if it's not covered up.
