    That picture looks like an American biscuit. We put white sausage gravy on top and call it “biscuits and gravy.”

      Outside of America, a “biscuit” is what you guys call a “cookie”.

      Which is pretty close to what they are! Although iirc biscuits are somewhat more crumbly

      At least you all agree on how to pronounce it, though. You (presumably) have no idea how deep the divide goes, UK-wise!

      That sounds horrendous, white sausage gravy alone sounds like boiled sausages juice.

        It’s actually really good, just nothing like you’d expect from the name. I was curious about it and ordered it on a trip there. Very heavy meal but very tasty.

        Sausage gravy uses pan drippings from cooking ground breakfast sausage to create a bechamel sauce. It’s usually then flavored with black pepper. Breakfast sausage is also often flavored with sage. From what I understand American-style breakfast sausage isn’t really a thing in the UK so it might be difficult to picture the flavor profile.
