    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.

      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

        While most of our biscuits are sweet nowadays, they’re not exclusively so and plenty of savoury examples exist.

        The word came from the old French “bescuit” which was about the process of drying things out so they would keep longer, like on ships for example.

        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.

      You know the Brits do that too.

      And if you fancy a moment of horror,look up what a Wigan Kebab is.
