It is a southern/midwest thing, never saw it until I moved to Ohio. I tried making redeye gravy once, but it didn't work out.

The biscuits are quite good, for the most part....best when slightly nasty and greasy from places you shouldn't eat at Though Popeyes do pretty good biscuits for a fast food type joint.

Still not to keen on the gravy, but it's better than the usual white gravy that's slopped over the chicken fried steak.

If you're ever in MA, you need to check out the J&M Diner - It really is the best diner Well they do amazing omelets and the best home fries...it's just a bugger that it's so old school that they only take cash and it's only a breakfast/lunch diner.

Gravy is best made from the juices derived from the cooking of the meat as you know plus whatever embellishments you wish to add depending on what kind of meat it is - mustard for beef and redcurrant and mint jelly for lamb and so on.

Marco Pierre White is a regular chef on BBC1 TV's "Saturday Kitchen" program which runs from 10:00 hrs to 11:30 hrs UK time- his names make him sound multinational but with no French connection as far as I can make out - born in Leeds of an Italian mother who had come to England and to Yorkshire in particular in order to improve her spoken English (flippin' eck as like! - or is that Lancashire speak? I should know as I went to Leeds uni) and his father was a Yorkshireman so he no doubt helped his wife to flatten her vowels.

A Sunday roast Marco Pierre style with crispy Yorkshires and real gravy...no mention of roasties best made from King Ted spuds

And here's an American guy allegedly showing us how to make Yorkshire puddings......or something called "popovers" which may or may not be the same thing....the poor bloke made it all look like hard going! Surely they have whisks in America?

Roast beef and popovers? Nah - it doesn't sound the same, somehow.

Popovers are different, they've roasted in deep pan trays, they're a breakfast item eaten with butter and/or jam and they're lovely.

I can't believe I made it to my age and never heard that word before. That sounds right up my alley.

Shoney's, Shoney's, Shoney's... now, I could really go for a gut buster from there. I think they are all 2000 miles away.... Shoney's biscuits are .. well, they might be The Best Ever.

Oh yes that sounds like a plan. How do you like your eggs?

Poppy girl

Boiled and HARD!

Biscuits and gravy are yummy, especially if you have a big appetite. But the gravy really should be made with sausage, otherwise it's just "white sauce".

Migas? It's Tex-Mex goodness. For everyone else, it's eggs scrambled with corn tortilla pieces, tomatoes, onions, chiles, and cheese - the exact recipe varies from place to place, but you get the picture.

Today I had the Popeye (at a local joint - not Popeye's Chicken!) omelette that this thread got me jonesing for - spinach, red onion, cheddar cheese, and bacon, with sour cream on top. Okay - only the spinach was healthy

I had me some white gravy with my sausage and fried taters yesterday morning Yum! And I've never tried to make red gravy but we used to have it with ham growing up. I need to try it again.
