Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

....or 'tasteless scones with flour and bacon/sausage grease', as I prefer to call them.

The most disgusting food source known to man, IMHO, am I alone?

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

love the biscuits but not the white gravy, just a nice spicy sausage pattie in the middle and a side order of bacon pls :wub:

my mil made the best home made biscuits and sausage bless her :wub:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Yeah, I like biscuits now too, like TB not sure about the white gravy, but like them with the gravy from KFC :o:wub:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

I don't like the look of the "biscuits", but I like the gravy.

I loooooove chicken fried steak and country gravy.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

now i love the irish fresh baked soda bread...that's great for a bacon sarnie :thumbup:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

I'm the native USC in the relationship (and from the South to boot) and I absolutely CANNOT stomach biscuits and gravy. I can't stand buttermilk biscuits, and I don't like sausage thus I hate the gravy.

However, my Brit OH loves it!! :blink: <insert vomit smiley here>

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Soda bread is the best; I love it with bacon and lots of HP sauce.

Everyone in the states looks at me funny when I mention soda bread. I think they think it's made with Pepsi or something.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

My mum used to make soda scones they were scrumptious even better if you grill cheese on them.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Biscuits and gravy.... I could jump into a swimming pool of it and eat my way out.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

how can they be eaten for breakfast??????

went to a real dodgy grill for breakfast with one of the guys from work, he ordered us a Man's Breakfast.

2 plates each arrived PILED high with omlette, runny eggs, ham and bacon and a plate full of biscuits and white gravy. He mixed all the lot into a runny swill and ate it all.

I managed 1/2 an omlette and the ham - I honestly have never quite felt sooo ill watching someone eat.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

backstroke or crawl :confused:

Used to think it looked disgusting....tried the wife's home cooked version and its not half bad ....lots of sausage and black pepper ....

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

yep greasy spoons everywhere....find a good breakfast restaurant and you'll be ok although i still can't do the white gravy.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

the best i've eaten was in belfast, delicious and yes HP sauce is the way to go :thumbup:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

I had never had it 'til I moved to the Midwest-it's not a New England thing. But I like it fine. :thumbup:

DH LOVES biscuits although he hasn't tried 'em with the sausage gravy.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

The best biscuits IMO are dark chocolate digestives...with a nice cuppa tea. :wub:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

The last meal I ate on British soil was a good old fry up .....expensive as all hell at Manchester airport ...but double helpings of black pudding and of course hp sauce made it a meal to remember :thumbup:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

i bet your OH is glad you like it...the biscuits and gravy i mean :lol:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Mix it up! That's the way you eat another one of my favorite greasy spoon breakfast items... Behold, The "Slinger"...

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Yes, although I don't make 'em.
But he is a funny guy- we HAVE to go to Cracker Barrel every Friday night so he can get his fish (cod) and chips. They say biscuits or cornbread and it's biscuits for him-he won't touch corn bread.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Looks like a cow pat. :eek:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Like the biscuits and cornbread with jam and butter gravy is bland and tasteless

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Arrrrghhhh....I forgot about the bleached slug hash browns, those tasteless dry part boiled shreads of spuds were in there too.

I'm gonna hurl!

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

What about grits?

"One bowl of gruel please".

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Well, there's an all-beef patty in it! Some people call it St. Louis' gift to the world, but I don't think it's caught on yet... Here's a little history...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slinger

"The Slinger is a Midwestern diner specialty typically consisting of two eggs, hash browns, and a hamburger patty (or any other meat) all covered in chili (with or without beans) and generously topped with cheese and onions. The eggs can be any style. The Slinger is considered to be a St. Louis late-night culinary original. It is described as "a hometown culinary invention that might account for St. Louis' high rate of heart disease: a mishmash of meat, hash-fried potatoes, eggs, and chili, sided with your choice of ham, sausage, bacon, hamburger patties, or an entire flippin' T-bone steak. It's dirt cheap, damn good and a drunk's dream." [1]"


You can also add white sausage gravy to it...:wub:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

manchester airport - bet the server was Polish.

Black Pud' is the one food I missed out on when I went home....It's funny, when I describe it to the Americans at work, they turn pale!!! Ha Ha Ha! Revenge!!

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

The so-called "biscuits" are ok but the gravy?? Yuk :thumbdown:

I'll never forget the look on my ex's face after she first tried Marmite. Was priceless. Suffice to say, she didn't like it much! I love it myself.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

the only thing to have with biscuits is a cup of PG tips, and the only thing to have with Gravy is chips.

Everyone who says different is just wrong.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

sorry it's mayo with chips for me or curry sauce :D

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

I like sausage biscuits, but not the gravy. I would rather have a proper bacon butty mind.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Is that why she's your ex? ;)

Seriously though, has anyone found an American that actually like Marmite? All the ones that I have let try it have turned their noses up. Then they go and eat PB & J. There is something very wrong there...

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

What's wrong with PB&J, eh? :sneaky:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

What's right with PB&J? Nothing! That's what.

A jam sarnie is OK, and I can almost accept a peanut butter sarnie (although I think it's a waste of good peanuts), but not together. [vomit smiley goes here]

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

You need to try a fried peanut butter and banana

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Hmm... interesting, but I don't really feel like dying on the bog re. Elvis

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

I think it depends where you get the biscuits and gravy! Bob Evans do really good ones around my way. I used to think they looked disgusting and wouldn't touch them, but was surprised when I finally did! You can make the gravy so that it doesn't have all the grease and meat in it, if that helps?

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

My husband loves marmite on toast with a nice cuppa PG Tips! :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, we left a jar at his parents house once and (without receiving proper instruction from a Brit or otherwise authorised American like my husband) they used it. I have a funny feeling that they spooned it on to their toast like jam, and you can imagine their reaction! :rofl:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

the biscuit is only good enough to eat if treated like a scone...lashings of jam and a big fat dollop of clotted cream...drool...:thumbsup:

that white gravy looks like a big congealed helping of samolina...barf..

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

Oh God, that looks horrible.

I have never noticed biscuits and gravy on a menu....am I lucky or deprived? Do they have them in Pittsburgh? They have lots of other nasty food stuffs.
Some kind of pretzel and jello salad springs to mind....yuk and fries in your salad.

I have seen frozen biscuits with sausage in them but haven't bought them.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

definately agree on the gravy....that's not gravy!!! It looks like some porn film has just finished shooting :eek::eek:

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
 

We like biscuits and gravy - my husband is the one who makes it. When we were first married he prepared it for my parents ... only he didn't realize that I keep powdered sugar as well as flour in the house.

You can imagine what happened. My poor mother was trying to eat it before we realized the mistake. "That can't be good" I said to her as I took her plate away. "It isn't very good" she replied. Now that's taking one for the team!
