Foo - So I finally tried it.

Biscuits & Gravy.

Still don't get it. Why do people ruin perfectly good biscuits by pouring gravy on top?

Dry biscuits = not yum

Dry biscuits+gravy+piecesofbreakfastsausage= heaven

There is a clown, I mean redneck I pass every morning. It says across the windshield of his hillbilly truck that sits about 12 feet in the air, in big letters, "I LIKE BISCUITS".

Evidently he does by the size of him.

Anyhow, down here in the south biscuits and gravy is a concoction of sausage gravy (the bigger the pieces the better) gobbed over biscuits. Some call it redbone. Bob Evans has it on their menu but the best you will find are at small independant hole-in-the-wall places.

It's like adding more grease and starch to grease and starch: It must be twice as good.

That said...I don't care for biscuits and gravy. Seems to me like something left over from dinner at Cracker Barrel someone's trying to pass off as breakfast.

You're baked biscuits are greasy?

I think you're confused. :p

No idea why it's so good to me, the gravy adds moistness to the biscuits, the sausage adds awesome flavor.

FTW!

Edit: Biscuits were always meant to be an accessory to other food. As the Good Book says, "Man does not live on biscuits alone."

That said, I've had some downright lame biscuits and gravy. One place nearby has some great gravy, but the biscuits are basically hardtack, and they pour all the grease (and then some?) from the sausage in the gravy. It doesn't just clog your arteries. It clogs your intestines even. Also, most places serve bland gravy, usually some kind of whitesauce rather than a true gravy. No bueno.

A restaurant down the street called The Claim Jumper has the best Chicken and butter milk biscuits.
Fried chicken, biscuits and gravy! :beer:

Rednecks in Florida = Dime a dozen



And you must be a redneck to have that bother you. You poop stirrer you.

Being from the South, I can't really hate on them.

Anyone in the south who drives a pickup truck ten feet in the air, with "I LIKE BISCUITS" on his windshield and bulls balls dangling off the rear bumper IS a redneck. Evidently since I am in Public Relations, I can't notice these things. Who are you to say anything?

If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand

If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand

if that's the cross i have to bear for growing up in the developed world, so be it.

botto! B&G is a basic staple!

You need to get it from someone that uses cream as the gravy base though to truly get good Biscuits and Gravy. An acceptable substitute is whole milk, but not as good. Light, homemade buttermilk biscuits are also a must and top it off with a brace of 3 over easy eggs. :D

Philistine!!!!

That, and grits, I just don't get.

So basically the southern diet is mostly food the is either ok normally or very bland, and just dump lots of fat/grease/sugar in/on it, and call it a eatin' good.

As has been said, Southern cooking is a recipe for a heart attack. If you weren't born a Southerner, it will surely kill you. A true Southerner has evolved to be able to survive it - but they might roll down the street instead of walking though...

Biscuits & Gravy = Art

Don't try to explain. Don't ask. You either get it or you don't.

And from what I understand, Duchamp was all about the grits. ;)

In that case almost everything that has fat in it can be considered greasy???

greasy - containing an unusual amount of grease or oil; "greasy hamburgers"; "oily fried potatoes"; "oleaginous seeds"

I don't think biscuits contain an unusual amount of grease or fat.

:D

I like arguing random crap.

I can tell...I've seen pictures. :p

I think if I ever come to CO we need to have biscuits and gravy WBiker. :p

Botto, I suspect you ate substandard gravy. Gravy making is a dying art. That said, I prefer my stepdad's biscuits with just good butter on them. The gravy tends to be a bit too rich for me. I did use some leftover Christmas goose gravy with biscuits once & it was rather good.

I detest gravy. I actually like hemp seed oil on my biscuits. :D

Cream sausage gravy is the best for biscuits.

I live in Canada now, cant find a place that has B and G. I had it once up here, sad little pieces of hardtack with hotdog bits in the gravy. Good thing I was drunk.

But now you have poutine instead :) .

Your'e doing it Wrong!

i'll pass that on the proprietor.

:lol:

I LOVE biscuits. I make some good ones. Best with butter & jam straight out of the oven. Or honey.

And I have no idea why you'd pour that "stuff" all over them.

<shudder>

Biscuits and gravy is something you just don't see here in Canuckistan...

Poutine tastes like it's first syllable and is part of a diabolical French plot to kill all the Anglos off.

The Scots invented Haggis for the same reason.

:D

Where's that green smiley. Just the thought almost wants to make me barf! Thank god I grew up in a semi-civilized country where such things were never on the menu.

i'll pass that on the proprietor.Have you tried "Steak Night" at the little grocery/convenience stores out in the sticks?

There's one near the Shake Rag in Millington TN(on the MRT I think), that has live banjo pickin' on Friday night.

If you stop there, you might see the owner's coq, sitting on the bench in front of the store.

BTW the ribeye dinner was cheap, tasty, and the waitress was just adorable.

No *****, I prefer to ruin my scrambled eggs by pouring gravy on top...the biscuits get butter and strawberry jam.

I prefer to use a slice of Texas toast for gravy sopping. A biscuit at breakfast time is meant to be cut open, dressed with butter, grape jelly and either bacon or patty sausage. End of discussion.

End of discussion.
You're a mod now, so why not put your money where your mouth is?

Or is it just the talk in Texas that's big?


Lock the thread! Lock the thread!! Lock the thread!!!

I wish I could reply CyLowe, but the discussion, sadly, is ended.

No it ain't. Screw the gravy, green chili huevos rancheros FTW!

Again, I dearly wish I could point out that you are clearly wrong, and I am clearly right, but as the discussion ended prior to your amusing missive appearing, I simply cannot do so.

Yeah, instead you have buns and sauce.....

Dinner Rolls w/ Brown Gravy ;)

The biscuits are the vehicle for the yummy gravy.

Flashing back to when I worked in the diner, scooping Hollandaise out of the food processor w/ bacon, and falling back on lettuce as a vehicle when the bacon wasn't available. Mmmm

I've lived in Alabama my whole life. Sorry, biscuits + gravy is a no go. I like biscuits and jam, though. or biscuits with honey.

Biscuits and Gravy are a basic food group. For an after breakfast snack or really anytime, try Chocolate Gravy.

I like biscuits. Gravy, jam, honey, meat, etc. is all good (one at a time, though, please)!

missed the steaks, but i've seen that Cock, just about every sunday.

And yet a plate of fries with gravy served up in a Jersey diner would not phase you in the least, right?;)

A long, long way from delicious fries 'n' gravy, the darling of my arteries.
