Life without biscuits and ground pork [white] gravy? Or maybe ground beef? Or chopped bacon? First thing that comes to mind?.....Hell.....!!

I think you're right mate...but then again...making a stupid mistake like that deserves it.



Cheers, Vince

Biscuits and gravy...ok guys, you are gonna have to fill me in on this one. What kind of biscuits are we talking about? I have this vision of your everyday biscuit that you have with your coffee, soaked in gravy.

I LOVE a slice of fresh bread with plenty of butter and gravy poured over it...a great way to use up the remaining gravy after a nice roast.

American biscuits are made like bread but with baking powder instead of yeast which makes them kind of hard but still soft as compared to normal biscuits like British digestive biscuits.

Atleast the ones I had had a white sauce based gravy made of milk and flour with broken apart into bits of sausage.

I know I over simplified but I was too interested in eating it then anything else.

Think you did a good description, 'Mitri. Needs a few drops of tabasco sauce & a liberal sprinkling of black pepper to give it some zip though. Mostly a country dish, seems to disappear when you get to the big cities. Found a McDonald's in WY that served biscuits & gravy.

I've found a couple of websites with recipes for both the bikkies and the gravy...gonna have a go at making it one weekend.

I bought biscuits that are premade by Philsbary* and the rest of the fixings to try making it myself.

The pre made biscuits are alright but for gravy home mades are the way to go. Trust me if I can make a good home made biscuit anybody can . Just get a good flour, I use southern biscuit flour and it makes fine biscuits.
Joe

Yah, the girl that made them for me used the permade dough and throw in the oven ones but still very yummy!

Dimitri

Thanks Joe...gotta have a go at making them.

Biscuits and sausage gravy is a main course for breakfast on weekends for us, along with fried eggs, bacon (or a thinly sliced steak), along with sliced tomatoes, jalapeños, and cantaloupe.

Sometimes we'll substitute a side order of cornmeal mush (for all you southerners, this is similar to grits, but is made with the ground whole unadulterated corn kernel-like you use for cornbread). I'm not really sure what they do to corn to make grits, but it’s not the same.

We believe in a hearty breakfast.

Besides, we've got to do something with the eggs, beef, wild hog, along with all the fruits and vegetables that we raise.

This past two weeks, I dug, cured, and packed away enough sweet potatoes for the year. I also store regular potatoes, and onions in storage. Everything else is put up in my three freezers.

My wife mixes sliced sweet potatoes and sliced Irish potatoes to make French fries or German fried potatoes. It’s great like that.

D,
I like your new photo.

Guys, you better keep your daughters from looking at the forum! They'll be wanting to make a trip to Canada!

Cary,

Thanks for the compliment but they'd have to go through Eric's daughter as he seems to want me to marry her.
