It seems like other parts of the world are hung up on only having certain foods at specific meals, while we tend to be happy to have whatever we like, whenever we like. Why should a food ONLY be for breakfast or dinner?
Agree..... There are alot of Breakfast foods I will have for supper..... One reason being in the mornings I usually don't have the extra time for Prep/Cleanup......
We tended to have biscuits and gravy for dinner. I never thought about it, because it was normal for us, but maybe it was because my mother had to leave for work early, and she just had more time to do it at dinner? Anyway, always good.
I had my gastric bypass in 2001, and when preparing for it one of my doctors at the time told me something I never forgot - "Your stomach has no idea what time it is, why you are eating cereal for dinner or having Chinese food at 2 am. Your stomach has no concept of time and doesn't care when or what you eat." And it's totally true of course. Now as you get older, naturally what you eat may not necessarily agree with your stomach but that's different than what the doctor was trying to get across. This idea you can't eat this or that at specific times of the day is ridiculous. The whole concept of "breakfast for dinner" is backwards since the stomach doesn't care about time but it's a great idea nonetheless isn't it? :)
And then have a super expensive special item on your menu that's their biscuits in their gravy.....so you just stick a Chips Ahoy in some poultry gravy and charge them like $19.99 for it.🤣🤣
Its good to see you trying a local diner. The best thing to do is talk to people, don't be afraid to go up to complete strangers and ask them where the locals go.
This is the way. I lived in the UK for nearly five years in my early 20s and traveled Europe extensively. My go to move in the UK and Europe was always to ask the locals about the local beer and food specialties. I missed some of the touristy things in favor of experiencing the true local culture. And yes, Brits, don’t be shy about asking locals or servers about how to enjoy foods. The Jolly boys got this part right - when eating BBQ (especially in Texas), cutlery is for the sides, meat is eaten with the hands. Some old school places in Texas (Lockhart) didn’t even serve sides and had signs reading “no forks or knives available.” When in Rome…
I don’t know when biscuits and sausage gravy became the ultimate new food experience when visiting the US, but I get a kick out it every time. Glad you liked this Southern treat! Peace …
It looks like this restaurant did the biscuits & gravy properly by cutting the biscuits in half so the sausage gravy can soak into the biscuits and make it a whole lot better than pouring the gravy over the biscuits hard outside, as I've said in your previous video when Millie tried it with her mom.
@@carlcarlson5553 I never heard anyone even talk about cutting the biscuits in half, it's always done that way so there's never a reason to discuss it. 😂
@carlcarlson5553 Not every restaurant cuts their biscuits in half, I have been to some that don't, but thanks for your Trolling 😁, like M*ndy's Family Restaurant in Eugene, Oregon.
@@WalterWD Not every restaurant cuts their biscuits in half, I have been to some that don't, but thanks for your Trolling 😁, Like M*ndy's Family Restaurant in Eugene, Oregon.
Yes, biscuits & gravy is typically a breakfast meal here. But at home, and when no one can see you🤣, you can make biscuits & gravy any time of the day or night...and for any meal. Breakfast sausage should always be in the gravy...and plenty of ground black pepper too.
Gravy without the sausage is usually accompanies something like chicken fried steak, because it’s being served over meat. Gray for biscuits usually as sausage in it. Millie you pushed the salsa for the burrito aside! It’s usually poured over the top or you dip each bite into it.
I am an American, and my mother's side of the family is from the South, and I LOVE biscuits and gravy! I would say that it is traditionally a breakfast food, but honestly, I would be happy to eat them at any meal or for any occasion.
Sure, sure, sure. There are some rules though. Like, if you use a knife and fork to eat your soft breakfast taco. You can do it, like Millie did. Everyone is going to look at you like you ride the short bus. But, yeah, you can do it.
@@nullakjg767 That was such a deep comment. You must be all of 13 years old. Your mommy must be very proud of you. Yeah, I am sure anyone watching people put a camera in front of themselves before they start eating are *the weird ones* .
The only problem for James and Millie is that the UK doesn't have sausage like our breakfast sausage. Their sausage has different spices (kinda heavy on the cloves and not enough sage) that makes it less than perfect for making true sausage gravy. Their best bet is to find a recipe online for American breakfast sausage and make it themselves at home. It's really not as hard as it might sound, as long as you can get bulk ground pork and some common herbs and spices. When making sausage gravy, everyone that I know, uses bulk ground sausage and not the links anyway.
That little salsa cup that Millie pushed aside was actually supposed to go on the breakfast taco. 😬😉 There's not much flavor without it. So glad you enjoyed your breakfast. The biscuits and gravy look spot on. 😍
If Millie likes the gravy more peppery, there is A pepper and salt shaker on the table😂 Also you didnt add any of the salsa to the taco, Millie just pushed it aside.😮
The farmers in my family living in Kentucky ate biscuits and gravy every morning. They loved it and really needed the calories. You can make the gravy with sausage, ham, or bacon.
We make the gravy with BREAKFAST sausage, lol, and biscuits are more of a breakfast food, though nobody has ever complained having biscuits served at another meal.
Around here, Blue and Gold is the way to go. If your ever in/around Oklahoma, try and pick some up. It's only available from school kids, they sell it either as a fund raiser for schools or at the 1 store in Jones, Ok, that's it. But it is worth it, it's the single best sausage I've ever had.
Brits: eat blood sausage and tomatoes for breakfast Also Brits: white gravy made of flour, milk, butter and breakfast sausage?? That ain't a breakfast food!
patties of sausage are a mainstay of breakfasts.. so, to me, sausage and biscuits are definitely breakfast food. What's so nice is that it's so easy to make the gravy.. and open a can of biscuits. I love grits.. sometimes I put butter in it.. sometimes, I add sugar and cream, savory or sweet.
Yeah sausage is a breakfast food like 80% of the time IMO. Of course BBQ brauts for dinner or something are great, but yeah, definitely usually a breakfast food.
@@ahoyforsenchou7288 America is the only place in the world where our "breakfast sausage" is a thing, and I don't know why, It's great. But even in countries like Germany(THE sausage people), the sausages are limited to a kielbasa/summer sausage style. Idk if they eat it for breakfast, but no one else makes the stuff we Americans call "breakfast sausage." Ironically, we're also the only country that makes white gravies like the kind for biscuits and gravy or for chicken fried steak.
a good sausage gravy starts with browning the sausage, then remove the sausage and keep sausage grease in the pan. then add any seasonings, heavy cream, flour, and anything else to taste. (black pepper is very common) keep stirring it while slowing adding the flour until it's a rich creamy color and slightly watery. (it'll thicken up quickly).
A couple of tips for your home made B&Gs...always split and butter the biscuits before adding the sausage gravy...and use a healthy dose of black pepper on top of gravy 🔥
It also depends on the person and their biscuits. Like my mom's home made biscuits are so amazing bo butter is needed and they're so fluffy that no need to cut them in half. I just dump a good pile of gravy on top of them. I'm glad I learned how to make my mom's biscuits. As for the gravy for me it all depends if it does or doesn't have sausage in it. If it does I tone down the salt and pepper. If it doesn't I may add more salt and pepper to taste. To me too much pepper and salt actually ruins the taste. Believe me because I've known some people to have dumped their normal amount of salt and pepper in the gravy while cooking it but when it came to eating it I wass un-edible for me after the first bite.
Emily Post would be fine with European style use of cutlery. I just find it funny when they continue that style when they are trying to load awkward things on the back of the tines. Turning it over and using the fork’s scoop function is often just the thing.
So glad to see y'all try a local diner. They can definitely be hit and miss, especially when it comes to biscuits and gravy, but when you find a good one they're unbelievably good.
In my Alabama home cheese grits look nothing like what you were served. I don’t dump the cheese on top, but instead, I stir the cheese into the hot grits until the cheese is well blended.
I’m in Alabama, too. You’re right - the cheese is supposed to be stirred into the hot grits and melted. There also must be butter. Real butter. No margarine.
How good biscuit and gravy is can really depend on the recipe, cook and quality of the sausage. When you have a large family and less money it is a tasty filling meal. I’ve actually ordered it for every meal at one point or another so it isn’t just a breakfast meal though it definitely keeps you going when you start the day with it.
Biscuits n Gravy know no clock!! They are great anytime of the day!! And those looked very tasty!! For the grits, I always cook mine w/ butter and salt, then add them over top of my fried eggs...over easy! The runny yolk mixes great w/ the grits. Then sop it all up with toast
Biscuits and gravy........BEST BREAKFAST EVER!!!! You can make it better though , serve it up with a couple of over easy eggs (fried in bacon grease) served on top with a few drops of Tabasco sauce. PURE HEAVEN ON A PLATE. Great video ! Thanks much . Jim , Seattle Washington.
sorry if anyone has already commented this: biscuits and gravy would have been enjoyed at like 5:30 am before getting out to tend the fields and animals of small farms originally. Of course very few of us live that kind of life these days and don't blame you for thinking it's pretty heavy and hearty for a breakfast food...this was by design to fuel hard-working farmers in the fields, and would have helped stretch sausage further. sausage itself being a way to use the odds and ends kept after the primal cuts of the hog would have been used or sold for income with additional salt as preservative. I like to think, if the pig had a name from being lovingly fed and tended, you would try to extend the meat by creating dishes such as this! :D the gravy is a way of creating something from the grease that renders out of the sausage rather than wasting it. You can also make biscuits in the morning as they don't require proofing/rising like bread.
Usually the grits come with the cheese incorporated in the grits so you don't even see the cheese but it's loaded with flavor. I've never seen it with just a bunch of melted cheese on top. Biscuits are such a favorite in my family! I'm glad you have tried them at home and here. :)
I usually eat biscuits and gravy for breakfast but breakfast is appropriate any time of day. I often eat breakfast menu for dinner. Because it's so popular, many restaurants serve breakfast menu items all day long.
That wasn't a taco. That looked like a breakfast burrito on a too small tortilla. Unless it's an open face street taco, it's a serious crime to eat a taco with a fork here in California.
I'll keep this comment shorter than the first one. Grits also can be eaten however you want to there's no set way to eat grits. But grits by themselves don't have a lot of flavor. At the very least try butter salt and pepper or butter and sugar never eat grits plain. I like to put a little bit of butter in my grits crumble up some crispy bacon in there and put some of my scrambled eggs in there and mix it all up together
I generally make my grits with chicken stock instead of water for savory applications. Shrimp and grits also taste a lot better when you make them on a smoker. 👍
Americans only use a fork for biscuits & gravy. If we use a spoon then the gravy was too thin. If you need a knife then we are dealing with someone learning how to make biscuits.
I don’t like biscuits and gravy and I was born in the Midwest. My mom used to make it on Sundays usually and the smell makes me want to barf. I don’t care for white gravy very much. And grits aren’t that great either. But that is just me. The rest of my family loves biscuits and gravy. I personally like a breakfast that is lighter on the tummy. Eggs with mushrooms, tomatoes and green onions and scoop it all up with a tortilla is good for a weekend breakfast for me.
Fun Video. Foods of the south. Amazing what they came up with. You may know, but a little background. if you look at the southern foods - Especially like grits and Biscuits and gravy, they have a history. Many in the south worked in agriculture or other very labor intensive jobs and we not wealthy. If you look at it: Biscuits - Flour, butter, milk . . . Gravy - Flour, milk (and maybe some sausage, pepper, sage, bacon). Would be inexpensive yet warm, filling and calories to get you from 5am to noon time. Enjoy your travels
Love Biscuits and Gravy!!!!! My Mom didn't make it with sausage growing up but I like it both ways!!!! We mostly had it for breakfast but once a month or so my Mom would fix Breakfast food for dinner......and had to have Gravy and Biscuits!!!! Great stuff!!!!!
I really like to eat biscuits and gravy with bacon and scrambled eggs. In high school, we ate a lot of French fries and gravy. French fries or Frito corn chips are good with Wolf Brand chilli, shredded cheese, and pickled jalapeno slices. You need them pickled/ canned, so they'll be soft enough to eat.
I'm an Army brat and they call it SOS! They rarely served it on a biscuit usually a piece of toast. SOS stands for "shit on a shingle"! My kids and Grandkids also call it SOS only we skip the "shingle" and use a biscuit. So good!
I scrolled down making sure… southern folks have SOS! All day anyway. Only way to eat it wrong is when you miss yo mouth. Okay… well where are the grits? Two ways to get it wrong then. Gritos from Tejas!
Texas is kind of adjacent to the true grits region of the South, but I definitely add butter and then mix it up, if it has cheese on top like they served, mix it on up and then see if it needs butter or anything else, like a little sugar.
@@dalemoore8582 savory grits are better, i cook mine with chicken stock instead of water and melt the cheese into it as they cook. but if it comes down to plain grits or some people have spiked with butter and sugar, the sugar option tastes like SOMETHING.
Let's start with this.... Americans can eat and do eat breakfast food for supper supper food for breakfast. You eat what you want to you're not going to be judged for it. I wouldn't have survived college we're not not for leftover pizza that I ate for breakfast. Breakfast in America Mary from person to person. There is no such thing as an American breakfast. You're going to have for breakfast and option of some kind of pork bacon ham or sausage, eggs cooked however you like them including omelettes scrambled fried. The only thing I don't usually see is poached not many people eat poached eggs and the us. You're going to have some kind of bread or toast if I'm getting waffles or pancakes I don't usually order any kind of bread to go with my breakfast. And then you have options of sides. Some people like sliced tomatoes some people like fruit, others want hash browns or grits. We just believe if it's there and we think it up will try it As far as southern breakfast goes, 1 traditional gravy has some sausage bits or in it or it was cooked with some sausage or bacon grease to give it a little flavoring. My son's a vegetarian so he makes his white gravy without any kind of meat product. He just seasons it with salt and pepper. Try different foods 1 different ways and decide what you like. Don't let society dictate it to you. By the way many people's favorite time to eat breakfast is late at night after they've been out with their friends or they've come home from a ball game or that's one of the things about living in America that makes it worth surviving hurricanes and tornadoes LOL.
In my neck of the woods, we don't have biscuits and gravy. We have a meat in a white sauce for breakfast known as Cream Dried Beef. I used to have it as a child for breakfast on Sunday.
I live in Massachusetts but have eaten grits for more than 50 years. I married a So Carolina man and as soon as I tried them... It was Game On! My babies started on grits as soon as they could eat solid foods, instead of baby pablum. They loved them then and still do as middle age adults. In fact, my son asked me to cook him some cheese grits with scrambled eggs and bacon for his 35th birthday some years back. Even Northerners can cook some grits like a Southerner. Nothing like that Comfort food cooked by Mama!
@@jeffreysmith236 NOBODY eats grits in south Texas. I never even heard of it until I joined the Navy. Biscuits and gravy is also unknown down here, unless you find one of those gross breakfast buffets that 70-year-olds frequent. Breakfast is served in taco form.
Normally biscuit sausage gravy is a quick breakfast item at McDonald's or Hardee's. But at a proper sit down restaurant or cafe or at home on the weekend it is usually served with eggs bacon or sausage or ham and hash browns. I prefer a little sausage gravy on the hash browns as well.
Here in the US one of our favorite things is having breakfast for dinner. It's a Thing for us. But biscuits and gravy is the perfect winter breakfast. It's warm, tasty and sticks to your bones (as my mom would say). Glad you enjoyed it and I hope you're enjoying your time here!

Exactly! I'm not even from the south but I would never layer the cheese on top. It would be mixed in (3-4 different cheeses too😁😋).
That’s grits with cheese, nor cheese grits
I’m in Alabama, too. You’re right - the cheese is supposed to be stirred into the hot grits and melted. There also must be butter. Real butter. No margarine.
How good biscuit and gravy is can really depend on the recipe, cook and quality of the sausage. When you have a large family and less money it is a tasty filling meal. I’ve actually ordered it for every meal at one point or another so it isn’t just a breakfast meal though it definitely keeps you going when you start the day with it.
Lol! You don't eat the cheese off of the top of the grits you stir it into them then eat.
@@RA82828 I was giving them instructions not a hard time.
@@RA82828the op did not have malicious intent with the comment. They observed something humorous and kindly informed them.
hell yeah, also dump that whole thing of butter in there and stir it up with some salt & pepper, now you got some grits
👍
American Breakfasts are designed to “stick to your ribs”. Fill you up for a long day’s work
Americans eat a lot of breakfast foods for supper/diner/lunch. Pancakes or waffles are another food we often eat for any meal.
Put the salsa on that burrito!
Tell us you tried the salsa with the breakfast taco (off camera)! It's a total game changer.
Biscuits n Gravy know no clock!! They are great anytime of the day!! And those looked very tasty!! For the grits, I always cook mine w/ butter and salt, then add them over top of my fried eggs...over easy! The runny yolk mixes great w/ the grits. Then sop it all up with toast
Been waiting for this video.
On the edge of my seat. Come On! Do it! Gravy with the eggs. Please!
I'm so disappointed.
There should have been a pepper shaker on the table .. you could have just added more pepper
Biscuits and gravy........BEST BREAKFAST EVER!!!! You can make it better though , serve it up with a couple of over easy eggs (fried in bacon grease) served on top with a few drops of Tabasco sauce. PURE HEAVEN ON A PLATE. Great video ! Thanks much . Jim , Seattle Washington.
sorry if anyone has already commented this: biscuits and gravy would have been enjoyed at like 5:30 am before getting out to tend the fields and animals of small farms originally. Of course very few of us live that kind of life these days and don't blame you for thinking it's pretty heavy and hearty for a breakfast food...this was by design to fuel hard-working farmers in the fields, and would have helped stretch sausage further. sausage itself being a way to use the odds and ends kept after the primal cuts of the hog would have been used or sold for income with additional salt as preservative. I like to think, if the pig had a name from being lovingly fed and tended, you would try to extend the meat by creating dishes such as this! :D the gravy is a way of creating something from the grease that renders out of the sausage rather than wasting it. You can also make biscuits in the morning as they don't require proofing/rising like bread.
I am ALWAYS hungry after watching one of your food videos!!
Sausage and gravy is a antime meal.
The good thing about diners is that you can have breakfast any time. So if you want it for dinner you can do it!
That looks sooooooo good. Proper biscuits and gravy!!!
James and Millie could open an American diner and serve this!
Love this, I had some this morning. Sometimes, I put eggs on the biscuits and then add the gravy.
Biscuits and gravy are a 24/7 thing for me!
Usually the grits come with the cheese incorporated in the grits so you don't even see the cheese but it's loaded with flavor. I've never seen it with just a bunch of melted cheese on top. Biscuits are such a favorite in my family! I'm glad you have tried them at home and here. :)
I usually eat biscuits and gravy for breakfast but breakfast is appropriate any time of day. I often eat breakfast menu for dinner. Because it's so popular, many restaurants serve breakfast menu items all day long.
As a TEXAN, I regret to inform you that eating a taco with a fork and knife is a crime.
You’re lucky the Taco Police weren’t there! 🌮 👮♂️ 🤨
they use forks and knives all the time.
😂
Well, it WAS an over-full taco. You learn this by eating with others, no problem.
My mother used a fork to eat PIZZA. But she was a very proper lady, even over pizza or tacos. 😅. We laughed at her about it, but very gently.
That wasn't a taco. That looked like a breakfast burrito on a too small tortilla. Unless it's an open face street taco, it's a serious crime to eat a taco with a fork here in California.
I'll keep this comment shorter than the first one. Grits also can be eaten however you want to there's no set way to eat grits. But grits by themselves don't have a lot of flavor. At the very least try butter salt and pepper or butter and sugar never eat grits plain. I like to put a little bit of butter in my grits crumble up some crispy bacon in there and put some of my scrambled eggs in there and mix it all up together
Butter grits with shrimp. To die for.
True biscuits and gravy is a proper breakfast.
I generally make my grits with chicken stock instead of water for savory applications. Shrimp and grits also taste a lot better when you make them on a smoker. 👍
Americans only use a fork for biscuits & gravy. If we use a spoon then the gravy was too thin. If you need a knife then we are dealing with someone learning how to make biscuits.
The sausage used is breakfast sausage, specifically made for breakfast.
I’ve never seen anyone who didn’t like biscuits and gravy. I’m not a grits fan either. The eggs looked delicious! 🤗❤️🐝
I don’t like biscuits and gravy and I was born in the Midwest.
My mom used to make it on Sundays usually and the smell makes me want to barf.
I don’t care for white gravy very much. And grits aren’t that great either.
But that is just me. The rest of my family loves biscuits and gravy.
I personally like a breakfast that is lighter on the tummy.
Eggs with mushrooms, tomatoes and green onions and scoop it all up with a tortilla is good for a weekend breakfast for me.
@@anissasoots2623 Well,, I guess there had to be someone somewhere that didn’t like them.🤗❤️🐝
In the US we usually eat sausage like that for breakfast. Either links or patties with eggs and potatoes or in the gravy over biscuits.
Biscuits and sausage gravy, and 2 lightly scrambled eggs. A breakfast fit for a king, or queen.
I ate it every day when I was a kid. We were poor. We lived in the country in Mississippi. I make it occasionally now.
I love my gravy with lots of pepper.
Add some red chili flakes
Yes, it is common for breakfast time, but it can be eaten for any meal or even as a side dish of a meal. 😋
Hope you enjoyed!
Fun Video. Foods of the south. Amazing what they came up with.
You may know, but a little background.
if you look at the southern foods - Especially like grits and Biscuits and gravy, they have a history.
Many in the south worked in agriculture or other very labor intensive jobs and we not wealthy.
If you look at it:
Biscuits - Flour, butter, milk . . .
Gravy - Flour, milk (and maybe some sausage, pepper, sage, bacon).
Would be inexpensive yet warm, filling and calories to get you from 5am to noon time.
Enjoy your travels
That's making my mouth water.
Love Biscuits and Gravy!!!!! My Mom didn't make it with sausage growing up but I like it both ways!!!! We mostly had it for breakfast but once a month or so my Mom would fix Breakfast food for dinner......and had to have Gravy and Biscuits!!!! Great stuff!!!!!
Only the H’s know to put taco sauce or salsa on their tacos and burritos ! All other British you tubers ignore it. What a shame !
The "H''s ....lol
Even Baby H dips her fries
i bet they will try it next time, maybe nobody told them but yes that sauce for the taco is a must! lol
If it was a regular taco, sure, but it's just a breakfast taco with just bacon/egg/cheese...it's good and moist enough on it's own.
To be honest, I really don't like salsa on my tacos or burritos. Not much of a spice person.
Bless your hearts 💕. You two look down right exhausted in this video. Glad you guys enjoyed yourselves.
You can eat it any time of day!
I really like to eat biscuits and gravy with bacon and scrambled eggs. In high school, we ate a lot of French fries and gravy. French fries or Frito corn chips are good with Wolf Brand chilli, shredded cheese, and pickled jalapeno slices. You need them pickled/ canned, so they'll be soft enough to eat.
I really enjoy your videos. 👍
I am amazed at the level of amusement I experience just watching the two of you eat.
You didn't put the salsa on the taco.
it puts the salsa on the taco or it gets the hose!
I'm an Army brat and they call it SOS! They rarely served it on a biscuit usually a piece of toast. SOS stands for "shit on a shingle"! My kids and Grandkids also call it SOS only we skip the "shingle" and use a biscuit. So good!
I scrolled down making sure… southern folks have SOS! All day anyway. Only way to eat it wrong is when you miss yo mouth. Okay… well where are the grits? Two ways to get it wrong then. Gritos from Tejas!
Texas is kind of adjacent to the true grits region of the South, but I definitely add butter and then mix it up, if it has cheese on top like they served, mix it on up and then see if it needs butter or anything else, like a little sugar.
No sugar. Yuck
@@dalemoore8582 savory grits are better, i cook mine with chicken stock instead of water and melt the cheese into it as they cook. but if it comes down to plain grits or some people have spiked with butter and sugar, the sugar option tastes like SOMETHING.
My family has always had this for dinner
I eat mine with an over easy egg on top. Breakfast and/or dinner!
man after my own heart. Letting that yolk drip into the gravy and mix with the biscuit.
So glad you guys enjoy it! It's such a guilty pleasure and sooooo filling!
Let's start with this.... Americans can eat and do eat breakfast food for supper supper food for breakfast. You eat what you want to you're not going to be judged for it. I wouldn't have survived college we're not not for leftover pizza that I ate for breakfast.
Breakfast in America Mary from person to person. There is no such thing as an American breakfast. You're going to have for breakfast and option of some kind of pork bacon ham or sausage, eggs cooked however you like them including omelettes scrambled fried. The only thing I don't usually see is poached not many people eat poached eggs and the us. You're going to have some kind of bread or toast if I'm getting waffles or pancakes I don't usually order any kind of bread to go with my breakfast. And then you have options of sides. Some people like sliced tomatoes some people like fruit, others want hash browns or grits. We just believe if it's there and we think it up will try it
As far as southern breakfast goes, 1 traditional gravy has some sausage bits or in it or it was cooked with some sausage or bacon grease to give it a little flavoring. My son's a vegetarian so he makes his white gravy without any kind of meat product. He just seasons it with salt and pepper.
Try different foods 1 different ways and decide what you like. Don't let society dictate it to you.
By the way many people's favorite time to eat breakfast is late at night after they've been out with their friends or they've come home from a ball game or that's one of the things about living in America that makes it worth surviving hurricanes and tornadoes LOL.
Looked at the menu online, both cream and sausage gravy are the same, sausage just has the sausage added to the cream gravy.
In my neck of the woods, we don't have biscuits and gravy. We have a meat in a white sauce for breakfast known as Cream Dried Beef. I used to have it as a child for breakfast on Sunday.
I grew up on both. Creamed Chipped Beef over toast was a popular breakfast/dinner in our house as well as B&G.😋
I love traditional breakfast foods at supper instead of at the start of my day.
As would be true for many of us from the Northeast, you have now eaten more grits than I ever have. You got there with the first spoonful.
Yeah... I've had grits and biscuits with gravy at a hotel buffet, but at no other time. I liked them but probably wouldn't ordinarily order them.
I live in Massachusetts but have eaten grits for more than 50 years. I married a So Carolina man and as soon as I tried them... It was Game On! My babies started on grits as soon as they could eat solid foods, instead of baby pablum. They loved them then and still do as middle age adults. In fact, my son asked me to cook him some cheese grits with scrambled eggs and bacon for his 35th birthday some years back. Even Northerners can cook some grits like a Southerner. Nothing like that Comfort food cooked by Mama!
So you have never eaten polenta, Yankee? Then you have had grits. White corn instead of yellow, only real difference.
@@jeffreysmith236 NOBODY eats grits in south Texas. I never even heard of it until I joined the Navy. Biscuits and gravy is also unknown down here, unless you find one of those gross breakfast buffets that 70-year-olds frequent. Breakfast is served in taco form.
@@jeffreysmith236 No, no polenta. Don't even know what it is.
I love the way Millie's digging into those biscuits! It's got me thinking where I can go for them tomorrow.
Normally biscuit sausage gravy is a quick breakfast item at McDonald's or Hardee's. But at a proper sit down restaurant or cafe or at home on the weekend it is usually served with eggs bacon or sausage or ham and hash browns. I prefer a little sausage gravy on the hash browns as well.
Eating a taco with utensils is like drinking a pint of beer with a straw, wearing a shirt in the pool, or putting ketchup on a steak.
😂
Why are you using your knife? It is tender enough to cut with your fork alone.
What a charming family. I'm happy for you to have such memorable experiences.
🤤 🤤Looks absolutely delicious!😋 😋 So happy that you enjoyed your time here. Hopefully you come back for more. 🙃
So glad you got to try biscuits and gravy here in the U.S.A.! LOVE you guys! 🇺🇸🏈❤️
Have been watching your videos since pandemic. they are so wholesome and help me learn about different and similar of our cultures
You gotta add butter, salt and pepper to the grits and mix it all up. Cheese throughout! Makes it much better.
Made with sausage gravy it's mostly for breakfast, but with white milk gravy it is eaten as a side dish for lots of meals.
I’m not a fan of biscuits and gravy for breakfast. But love it for supper. Now my hubby could eat it any meal.
Here in the US one of our favorite things is having breakfast for dinner. It's a Thing for us. But biscuits and gravy is the perfect winter breakfast. It's warm, tasty and sticks to your bones (as my mom would say). Glad you enjoyed it and I hope you're enjoying your time here!
So glad you guys had a great time! That's a good sign when you're not ready to go home yet!
We occasionally have biscuits and gravy for dinner. Either way, it's amazing.
We love these two❤️
