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.
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.
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.
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

“It looks like a chopped up ferret.”
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.

Lmao you can tell someone is American when they say “if it didn’t taste good you just need more grease”
Fat is flavor.
