    It’s true, the “biscuits and gravy” biscuits are closer to scones than what a Brit would think of as a biscuit.

    Also, biscuits and gravy, wtf

        Biscuits with sausage gravy doused in hot sauce and a couple fried eggs make a great breakfast

            I think he’s a trucker. the biscuits and gravy at a Love’s I could see dumping hot sauce on. Not generally though.

            Oh of course, I load up the gravy with more pepper than most folks like

      I may lose my Yank card for this, but I’m not a fan myself. That said, it’s just scones and bechamel sauce. Hearty, meaty, salty and what you can do with the rendered fat from greasy breakfast sausage*. It’s basically hangover food that caught on.

      (* There’s a subset of traditional American food that stems from doing a lot with very little, while having a complete disregard for cholesterol and calorie intake. Assuming that wheat and dairy are the cheapest things in your pantry, you get stuff like this. See “scrapple” for another example.)
