Brits who complain about (American) biscuits and gravy have clearly never had (American) biscuits and gravy
Usually, you’ll find they’ll start making fun of you before you can even explain what it is
I love watching videos online of Brits trying food from the southern US because they always recoil at the sight of it before saying it’s one of the best things they’ve ever tasted.
Those guys are notorious for pandering to their American audience to be fair.
I think I saw the exact video you’re referencing here 😂
As a Brit who’s never had American biscuits and gravy:
“I don’t know enough about that to have an opinion yet.”
Try saying it more, it feels good.
It’s scones covered in a white sauce built on sausage meat roux. Nothing wrong with it, but not much right with it either, it’s just calories.
Not scones, American biscuits. They’re different. Flaky, buttery, not sweet. And if there’s “not much right with it” then you had a crappy gravy without enough grease and pepper.
Probably! I was drawing a comparison for other readers, they’re closer to a shortcrust pastry in how they’re made. Savoury scones are a thing, by the way - usually made with a bit of cheese.
Lmao you can tell someone is American when they say “if it didn’t taste good you just need more grease”
Fat is flavor.

I have had them at a pretty famous bbq place in Texas, they are tasteless and dry and the gravy is a sin that even the most watery Bisto outclassed spectacularly.
This should be a 3-way with Canadians putting gravy on fries.
Haven’t tried gravy on pudding but I’m sure it’s as great as the other two.
This should be a 3-way with Canadians
I strongly agree
Tell me you’re a poutine virgin w/o saying it…
I wasn’t being sarcastic. I like both poutine and biscuits and gravy, and I’m pretty sure gravy on pudding is good too. They all sound off-putting if you don’t know what they are, though.
All good, man. Just bad online jokes on Xmas. All the best!
It doesn’t work with the joke though: Americans use the word “pudding” to refer to something sweet while Brits use the word “biscuit” to refer to something sweet. Fries aren’t sweet in either of the two opposing dialects. So both should be able to see the appeal
You know the Brits do that too.
And if you fancy a moment of horror,look up what a Wigan Kebab is.
What could possibly be offensive about putting gravy on a fairly dry bread product? Wtf?
The only Brits that would whine about that are softy southerners.
Come up North if you like your gravy. Up here it’s strong and thick enough that the spoon stands straight up!
Mmm, that’s how I make my sausage gravy. Got made fun of by an Appalachian guy for it being like concrete but hey, why not if you’ve got the meat, right?
Oh lad, if you like your meats and gravy, you should come to the UK and visit Manchester, Liverpool, or York.
Also everyone in the UK over hypes Greggs just because it’s such a national institution now but never mention the more tasty Pieminister because it’s not as widespread.
Let me know if you’re ever around the Peak District and you’re more than welcome to join our family for a proper Sunday Roast Dinner with THICC gravy.
Now make one with Canadians putting gravy on fries and Danes putting gravy on burgers.
Hawaiian also put gravy on burgers over rice and it’s a treasure
Is there a bun on that? If not it’s just a Salisbury steak which I assume is the Japanese influence creeping in. Never quite understood why they like hamburger steak so much. I always associate it with frozen dinners.
I like Salisbury steak but loco moco def feels different to eat. Hamburger steak usually isn’t served with gravy in my experience thus far but Hong Kong has amazing steak with black pepper gravy.
What does it look like?
Look up loco moco, it’s just so wonderful
Is that a bunch of steaming sauce right on the thing used to hold the sandwich or am I mistaking that?
Ketchup is just tomato gravy anyway. A sauce made by thickening a reduction of something high in glutamate with cornstarch. It’s more of a gravy than chip beef gravy, which is a more basic roux. Only difference is fat content, but that’s why it’s paired with mayo.
Personally I think of ketchup more like a puréed tomato chutney or relish, it’s the style I’d do if I made my own.
Corn is a fruit, whiskey is ketchup.
I’d say that’s a fruit preserve in that case, so a jam.
I absolutely will not tolerate gravy fry hate and I’m not even Canadian.
So when you say “pudding”, you mean white pudding or black pudding?
The core joke here is that Yorkshire pudding is unsweetened, just as American biscuits are unsweetened
Tapioca pudding.
Italian Americans putting gravy on pasta: 👉🕷️
Americans putting it all in jello.
Yeah if you had a time machine to the 70s maybe.
Isn’t gravy that thick brown sauce you eat with turkey? If that’s the case both belong in a mental institution.
