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?

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!

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

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...

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.

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!

Not into biscuits and Gravy, but have tried the Steak with Southern Style Gravy and it was okay. I have several cooks at my Restaurant, some Spanish, and decided to treat them to Bacon Butties one day, I can't keep em off em now! Every time we go in to clean the Restaurant on a Monday, they seem frightened to death if I don't go and buy Bacon for them!! I did the full breakfast thing once, Egg, Bacon, Sausage, Heinz Beans, Mushrooms, fried Tomatoes and of course, Black Pudding. Everone loved it, but I'm Buggered if I'm making that for them evey week!!

Not far off the truth! I'll admit it is an acquired taste. Seems you either love it or hate it. PB&J is probably much the same. I'm not a big peanut butter fan although I like peanuts. Weird eh?

Biscuits and gravy are good, mainly because it means my OH is cooking!
The worst peanut thing I've seen is boiled peanuts.

Re: Ok - so what do you think about 'biscuits and gravy'?
As far as "biscuits and gravy" goes, I really do not like it one bit.
Nearly everyone I have met who eats it says the same thing to me..."Oh, you've not had them the way my "random-family-member-here" cooks 'em!"
Blech..no matter who cooks them.
Another American treat, this one from the NJ area I belive, is scrapple. As far as I can tell, it is the griddle scrapings served in a dish...perhaps over eggs IIRC. Erm..no thanks.
PB&J is pretty good, as well as PB with bananas, but not fried.
