BRIT DADS REACT to British Highschoolers Try Biscuits and Gravy for the First Time!

For the record, we DO have the same brown saucy gravy too. We use at dinner on mashed potatoes, turkey, etc. Sausage gravy is different.

[@Parklarblick]

This is a good recipe for sausage gravy i've used for years. ½ pound ground pork sausage 3 tablespoons butter ¼ teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons plain flour ¼ teaspoon pepper 2 cups of whole milk Cook In a large Iron or heavy skillet, crumble and cook pork sausage until browned. Drain and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of grease from sausage to remain in pan. Melt butter in the same pan with reserved pork drippings. Once melted and combined, add in flour, salt and pepper. Mix well into melted butter and reserved drippings. This will form a paste or ball. Cook flour mixture for one minute, stirring the whole time. Once the flour smell has gone, drizzle in milk, taking care to whisk mixture the entire time to break down the roux paste into the milk. Bring to a boil over medium to high heat and cook until desired thickness. This should only take 3 to 5 minutes. Lower heat to simmer and add cooked sausage back into gravy. Simmer for 3 minutes or so until sausage is heated through. Taste to make sure it doesn't need more salt or pepper to your taste. Serve over Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits.

[@ironwolf9876]

Solid recipe! The user above posted a very classic sausage gravy recipe that I feel most people would be pretty happy to have with their biscuits! To my knowledge there are a few other different white gravies popular in the USA. The sausage gravy mentioned above but you can use bacon fat instead of sausage and sausage fat and i BELIEVE that's called country gravy. I've also heard of sawmill gravy which allegedly is made with coarse ground cornmeal instead of flour but there seems to be fierce debate online about the validity of those claims. Happy cooking all!

[@Hawk-ODA212]

That's about as basic as it gets, and in my opinion it tastes the best. Some people add cayenne or pepper flakes or hot sauce, but I like this recipe better. Thanks for sharing.

It's important to know that this kind of gravy MUST have American breakfast sausage, which is made with ground pork, spices and most important, sage. If it is any other kind of sausage it will not make that kind of gravy.

[@deidres100]

Salt and pepper ONLY here in South. NO other spices. The sausage drippings have most of the flavor in the roux. When you add milk or cream be sure to whisk constantly to take out any lumps.

[@abeginningwoodworker8169]

@@deidres100 I am from the south and what they are talking about is how the sausage itself is spiced, not what you would put with making the gravy. Breakfast sausage in the US that you get in the supermarket will be pork based but it will have other spices in there and sage is the distinctive spice in almost breakfast sausage in the US. If you just buy ground pork to make sausage gravy with you won't get the same flavor. It is also why when making sausage gravy (and I agree that you don't add any spices otheer than salt and pepper) you don't need to add anything else to it. But if you were to make it in say Great Britain where you can't easily find American Breakfast sausage you could add the spices that are normally there to ground pork (notably sage, thyme, fennel, and red pepper flake to taste).

Excellent reaction Brit Dads! Something to keep in mind, American biscuits are savory, buttery, lightly crispy on the outside, and fluffy soft inside. This Jolly video you reacted to was perhaps made after Josh and Ollie came back from America after they had their chance trying Southern biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, Southern sweet tea, and other delicious foods they never had before. I remember Ollie saying something much like one of the students mentioned here in this video, American biscuits and British Biscuits are incomparable, they are two totally different dishes. We also have various types of gravy including the brown beef gravy, we have chicken gravy, turkey gravy, sausage gravy and a variety of others than you can allow yourselves to imagine. If you like to take a look at that JOLLY video I mentioned, the video is called "Brits try Southern Biscuits and Gravy for the first time!" They went to a place in the State Georgia called the Maple Street Biscuit Company, that was about a year ago and since then they have come back to the states and are still trying out more food they've never had before. One of the nice things about these JOLLY videos when they try with highschoolers/secondary school students is the honest opinions the students give. If they don't like it that's fine, they will say so too. I enjoyed your video reaction! Peace. ☮

[@maingate7672]

You can easily find recipes for southern style biscuits and gravy on the internet! Just try a few until you find one you like.

[@Eowyn187]

Dudes I'm in Southern USA. A great biscuit is fat, *light and fluffy on the inside*, and a little crispy/crunchy on the outside. They're wonderful if made well. Just flour, water and lard. No sugar. Then perfectly blended and kneaded. Yeah they're NOT easy to perfect. But the gray is! Take a fluffy biscuit and put some real butter on it. Then a little raw honey or molasses.... omg freaking heaven! And that's delicious with Earl Grey tea. Mmmmm Ps. We here also have an equivalent to your Beans and Toast... we eat beans with cornbread! Just the beans and the bread. Just like you guys. And they're usually seasoned, cooked long and slow, with a small piece of ham or bacon. And a big piece of crispy cornbread on the side. Or crumbled into it.

[@layne6675]

[@lizetteolsen3218]

Jolly is an amazing channel that does a lot of tastings with high school students.

[@DarkEnv2]

As a southerner I don’t know why they kept saying the biscuit itself was “sweet”. Biscuits in the south a buttery and soft on the inside and have a light crispness on the outside and can be sweet if you put some honey on them or some butter and jelly/jam on it but by themselves I’d say they lean on the more savory side. We have different forms of gravy where we have the traditional brown gravy for things like our roasts and mashed potatoes but if it’s breakfast or you say biscuits and gravy it’s automatically known to be the white gravy and typically it will have sausage in there as well but we have different variations where it has mushrooms in it instead or no meat at all. It may look odd but it really is delicious, especially when done right.

[@Ladywizard]

Looked like Grands biscuits not homemade

[@ESUSAMEX]

There are 100s of gravies in the US. Each meat has its own and each person makes their own type according to their liking.

[@DaveBrazda-b4f]

This is such a hard concept for Brits to understand, Brits = if it ain't brown, it ain't gravy.

[@RebelCowboysRVs]

The hard ingredient to get in the UK is the US style pork sausage. Its ground pork, a bunch of dry sage, lots of black pepper an some salt. Seems like its a tablespoon of black pepper an two tablespoons of sage for every pound of pork.

[@borisbalkan707]

It's fun watching non-Americans experience our sausage and gravy for the first time and are shocked

[@johnglue1744]

I always open my biscuits before covering with gravy. Brown gravy is just as good on a biscuit as well.

[@TangentOmega]

The sausage thats used is the loose (mince) pork breakfast sausage There's really no substitute. A similar gravy is used on Chicken Fried steak but without the sausage.

[@anjoleeeickhoff6800]

That’s sausage gravy they served the kids. Our biscuits are light, fluffy and buttery here in the USA. We have all kinds of gravies. We have Sausage Gravy, White Pepper Gravy, Sawmill Gravy, Pork Chop Gravy, Turkey Gravy, Brown Gravy, Red Eye Gravy, etc. Pretty much any meat you cook we can and will make a gravy out of it. Most gravy is pretty simple: Cook your meat, keep the burner on, drain grease except for enough to cover the bottom of the skillet, put back on burner, add a little flour to make a paste type consistency, make sure you get the lumps out of it, slowly pour in milk and keep stirring while you’re doing it and also scrape all the bits of meat that were stuck to the bottom and sides of the pan into the gravy while adding milk. Keep stirring til it thickens up. If it’s too thick add a little more milk and stir. After you’ve got it to the consistency you want then add your meat back in if you want too. If it’s sausage gravy then you definitely want to add your sausage meat back in hence the name sausage gravy. If it’s pork chop gravy then I don’t add the pork chops back in. You can add salt and pepper to give it flavor if you want to in any gravy. I don’t add too much salt to my sausage gravy as I have to watch my salt intake plus our sausage is salty enough most of the time.

[@bobbiejojackson9448]

But... one thing I learned in the UK when visiting, is that their breakfast sausage is very different from ours. They use what I believe is called Cumberland sausage or "bangers" and it doesn't taste like the sausage that we use as a breakfast meat. Don't get me wrong... it's delicious sausage, but I don't honestly know if it would taste the same in a gravy because the herbs/spices used in making it are different. American breakfast sausage is seasoned with onion, salt, pepper, sage, marjoram or thyme and a bit of brown sugar and maybe a pinch of cloves. Bangers are made with similar herbs, but also spices like mace, ginger and nutmeg. The only way I can think to explain the differene is that British sausage tastes a bit Christmas-y. LOL I don't even know if it's sold in a bulk or loose form. They might only be able to get it in a casing. Of course, they could remove the casings, crumble it up and fry it like ground beef. Now I'm interested to know what type of sausage was used by the guys who introduced biscuits and sausage gravy to the boys. 🤔🧐

[@anjoleeeickhoff6800]

@@bobbiejojackson9448 could point, I had heard their sausage is made different than ours. Didn’t even think of the fact that they maybe can’t buy it in loose or bulk form but only in casings. Yep that would definitely make it taste wrong/weird from USA sausage gravy. I’m sure their sausages are yummy but I don’t think their sausage would work with the way we make our sausage gravy and it definitely wouldn’t have the same taste.

[@hannah3250]

I’m Georgia USA raised… I promise you, nothing beats the summer like a tall glass of sweet tea. Remember, our summers are at least 15 degrees hotter than yours and more humid. The last thing anyone wants is something hot! Also, very agricultural. Very physical work here. So, the cold and the sweet definitely helps the hard working farmers feel better. You won’t get the real thing unless you come to the south. The chain restaurants don’t do it right either. You need a mom and pop restaurant or bed and breakfast to have the good stuff. Better yet, make a southern friend and have them cook for you. ❤️❤️

[@BritPopsReact]

Great comments Hannah :) thanks and I want to make this sweet tea!!

[@pinkstarphoenix6182]

Sausage gravy is super easy to make. Proportions vary for how much you want to make/how many people you are feeding. As a general rule, 2-3 tablespoons of flour thickens a cup of liquid. Start with breakfast sausage meat. Cook it in a skillet, breaking it up as you cook. When thoroughly cooked and crumbly, add flour and stir and cook for a few minutes, making sure you break up any lumps of flour. Pour in milk slowly, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened. Pour over biscuits, savory scones or even bread or toast. Oops! Forgot to season with salt and pepper, a few red pepper flakes if you like it spicy

[@memsurs]

The trick in England is finding a good breakfast sausage. The sausage they have with breakfast is seasoned differently than our American breakfast sausage.

[@carolynthornton8017]

IN MY VIEW I cook my sausage and put it in a dish (I don't cook sausage with gravy because I can't tell the sausage bits from gravy lumps) I then cook my gravy making sure it is smooth (no lumps). Then I add my sausage to my gravy.

[@meganberk6072]

Southern sausage gravy is so easy to make. Just cook sausage (fatty and spicy, removed from casing) and then make a white sauce in the pan with the sausage fat as a sub for the butter (or add butter, we are ‘merican) (flour and milk or cream) season with black pepper (because this is ‘merica, not France) and reduce until thick. The biscuits are a bit more tricky, I like to make cream biscuits, which are flour, baking powder, salt, and enough cream to bind it together, but there are lots of biscuit recipes and we have “ Bisquick” for a mix or the Pillsbury ones in a can if you can’t be bothered.

I see a lot of recipes for biscuits and gravy here but not many for the tea so I'll add that haha. For a good southern iced tea I would say boil 4 cups of water. Throw 16 teabags (black tea) in it and let it steep for 4-5 minutes. While it's still hot mix in at least 1 cup of sugar. I like 1 1/2 cups but I've seen upwards of 4+ cups. This dissolves the sugar much better and makes a concentrated tea/simple syrup mixture. Take that 4 cup mixture and and it to a pitcher ( I think you guys just call it a jug) and add 12 more cups of cold water and mix. After that's finished add a pinch of baking soda. It gives it a nice amber color and helps enhance the mouth feel a little bit. It will be quite warm when first made. You can cool it in the fridge, but always pour it over a lot of ice in a glass. Add a touch of lemon juice for some extra flavor. It's one of the best drinks in the world in my opinion. Nothing like a good iced tea on a hot day.

The gravy is super easy to make, and once you have the basics down it's very easy to make it your own with things like bacon bits/oil, sage, garlic...ect. i usually make enough for myself to last maybe 3 days. 1/3 lbs of breakfast sausage. (NOT linked... its what you normally use to make sausage paddy's... looks like fine ground beef) brown it in a large fry pan on medium low. After all is brown (no draining), spinkle 1 to 1.5 rounded table spoons of flour over the top, wait a few seconds then lightly stir, then let it sit on heat for another 30 seconds. Now pour enough milk to slightly cover the sausage.. add a bit of salt and generous ground black pepper. Turn the heat up just a bit and gently stir. In a few minutes it should start to thicken. If it's to thin you can add maybe 1/4 teaspoon of corn starch, and add more milk if you think it's too thick. Super easy and quick. Refrigerate what you don't use then microwave with a bit more milk to reheat. I cheat when it comes to the biscuit.. i like Aldi's buttermilk biscuits in the pop open tube (cheap and as good as the other name brand) what I'm not going to use in a few days goes into the freezer in a ziplock bag. Sometimes I'll also roll a few out before baking, scoop some of the gravy into the center (best of its a bit thick) then fold it over and press seal the edges. These" pockets" bake up nicely, and can also be frozen.

We have the brown gravy you all have as well. Plus the white gravy and red eye gravy. If you take the biscuits and break them open then put the gravy on them, it’s so much better.

Pioneer Woman’s recipe for sausage gravy - 1 lb. breakfast sausage, like Jimmy Dean 1/2 sweet onion, chopped, optional 1/3 c. all-purpose flour 3 1/2 c. whole milk 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper, plus more to taste 1 tsp. dried sage or thyme, optional Salt, to taste Biscuits, for serving 1 Pull off small pieces of the breakfast sausage with your fingers and add them to a large skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle the chopped onion evenly over top, if using. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is no longer pink and the onion is softened, 8 to 10 minutes. 2 Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to coat. Let it cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flour is lightly toasted. 3 While stirring, pour in the milk. Increase the heat to medium-high. Once the mixture boils and thickens, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the seasoned salt, black pepper, and sage or thyme, if using, and let it simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. 4 Season with salt and more pepper to taste. Serve over warm biscuits. Tip: The gravy will thicken as it sits. If you aren't serving this immediately, plan to add an extra 1/2 cup of milk to the mixture to thin it out to its normal consistency. *Guess how I found it?

BASIC sweet tea is not just sugar added to iced tea. The sugar is first turned into a 'simple syrup' = melted into a bit of water. The tea is brewed & poured over ice & the simple syrup inside a pitcher. Then, the tea in the pitcher is poured over a glass filled to the brim with ice cubes. There is no gritty sugar in the drink. :)

Sausage gravy: start with loose sausage (mince) and fry it off, about 500 grams. Add 2-3 tablespoons of flour and cook it out, forming a roux as the base of the gravy. Add milk or cream - about 250 ml or so, and stir together until a nice gravy forms. Season to taste with salt and pepper, usually a bit heavy on the pepper to add a bit of bite to the gravy. Serve over southern-style biscuits, hash brown potatoes, toast, mash, fried chicken... we're not picky. :) You can add extras like onion and garlic when frying off the sausage if you like. There's as many recipes as there are households in the southern US states.

[@DavidWalton-g8w]

​@@ritayprice3510it is okay, I don't think they have the sausage for it.

[@spacehonky6315]

Bacon fat makes a delicious gravy as well. Unfortunately even British bacon is different than American. I don't think they smoke theirs, and to find anything similar you have to ask the store clerk for "streaky bacon" specifically.

[@jaycee330]

@@DavidWalton-g8w They just need to add sage to it.

[@firefighterchick]

This channel is quite good. The two gentlemen do this with school kids with all kinds of American food and I believe vice versa with American students trying British food. The kids are what makes it hilarious. They are brutally honest if they don't like it. The brown gravy that's being poured over mashed potatoes is highly popular here too, at least in southeast Pennsylvania. The UK biscuit that was shown briefly at the beginning is what we call a cookie. In my area these butter milk biscuits are not sweet but more savory. Do you guys not have iced tea at all in the UK? Sweet tea is here in the Yankee states(😅)as well but most of us drink cold iced tea with lemon and a LOT less sugar. Sweet tea is too much for my taste buds. Guess I'm already Sweet enough😜.😂 As they said this is sausage gravy and it's a lot thicker and has more spices and herbs in it than brown gravy. I would love to see you two Do more of these videos. Great reaction as always. 😊

Most Southern food is comfort food. It's the food that you eat to feel satisfied and soothed.

[@janethernandez724]

That is another thing to consider when enjoying Southern food, it is comfort food that has been made for many generations and has been passed down and perfected. These Brit Dads must adventurous enough and try it for themselves one day!

[@bleachedbrother]

There's lots of KZbin videos of how to make sausage gravy. Same with our biscuits.

[@marciaramirez3791]

Gravy is very easy just start with Sausage patties, fry and separate until crumbly and lightly browned, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour and stir making sure the flour is smooth, add 1 cup of milk or cream and water mixed half and half to sausage/flour mixture and stir until thickened, if the gravy becomes too thick add more liquid until the consistency is to your liking, add salt and pepper to taste. Biscuits are a little more difficult but if your grocer carries Pilsbury products they have frozen biscuits in the freezer section that are very good although not as good as homemade. Good luck. P.S If biscuits aren't available toast can be substituted.

[@in8hope617]

Do it! Do IT! DO IT:)

[@amhamp]

I'm from the US and could send you a recipe, but Berry Lewis made them on his channel and I strongly recommend you go to his channel and search for American Biscuits and Gravy. He was just like you guys when he first heard about it and made them properly. And yes, he loved them.

[@allies7184]

My sister makes it often, but refuses to make British gravy which makes me really sad. I love biscuits and sausage gravy, but it's also good with brown gravy too.

[@VonLigenstein]

mama used to bake a lot when I was a wee lad. and she would make those and we called them tea biscuits. they were great for every type of meal. spread some butter on them and drizzle honey on top, or gravy.... which I later realized switched to cream of mush room soup from a can but also had canned peas and or canned tuna mixed in... then later camme the cream of chicken or cream of brocolii so yeah I can see it on fried chicken... throw some shredded cheese ontop... heck put it in a cassarole pan and throww some brad crums on top give it some crunch.... but Im not from the States, Eh... I like pineapple and little fishies on my pizza...

[@my4mainecoons338]

Talk to the H's! They're a Brit reaction channel and they prepare classic American foods at home. The first time they made biscuits they made them from scratch. On a recent trip to the US they tried refrigerator biscuits.

[@serenshadow89]

The gravy is really simple to make and you can find loads of recipes... but it basically boils down to: butter or the meat, grease, or drippings of choice (for breakfast gravy, we would use breakfast sausage - which is spiced differently than regular sausage - or bacon but you could just as easily use pork, beef, chicken, even onions or mushrooms... anything that leaves residue and aromatics in the pan), flour, milk or water - milk if you want a creamy gravy and water if you want a thin one, and salt and pepper. The gravy in this video as well as what you'll most often find in America, is a sausage gravy and the sausage (ground breakfast sausage) has been left in: Cook up some ground breakfast sausage in a pan (or use regular ground pork and add a mixture sage, thyme, red pepper flakes, paprika, freshly ground nutmeg, finely grated garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper) and when its just about cooked through, add in your flour and mix together to make a roux. Let it cook for just a minute or so. Slowly add in your milk, add just a bit, whisk everything together, then slowly add the rest while stirring. Let it simmer - slowly stir every minute or so - until it thickens almost to desired amount. Season with salt and pepper. Take off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes to cool and thicken more. Pour over bread of choice.

[@darkhorse5932]

As a sotherner, I made beans on toast just to experience the hype and absolutely loved it.. So it's only fair that you two make a video trying biscuits and gravy so we can watch you fall in love with it.. Much love from America, love your content.

[@daricetaylor737]

There is no reason you guys cannot learn to make sausage gravy and biscuits. There are so many good instructional videos online that are pretty accurate and easy! Just be sure to use the proper sausage, generally one that has sage in it as it seasons the gravy well, and don't go light on the black pepper! Here in the USA we have all different types of gravy, depending on the type of meat you cook. Gravy is simply made with the fat drippings of meat cooked and a thickener. Some gravies are thickened with corn or flour starch, some with flour....it again depends on what meat you have cooked. Open you eyes to the limitless possibilities of food! There is so much more to discover! My mother made biscuits and gravy every single morning for my two grandkids when they were preschool age and she babysat for my daughter. If it was hard to make, she would not have done that!

[@rippinreaper-69]

I hope y'all try it it's really good it keeps ya full way longer to

[@willjohnson8446]

We have scones as well. They are much denser and crumblier than biscuits. The exterior of a biscuit may look similar, but they are made with a ton of butter, so the inside is similar to the interior of a croissant. The gravy is essentially a well-seasoned beschamel made into a gravy by adding it to frying crumbled breakfast sausage and its grease. Both biscuits and gravy are very quick and easy to make with ingredients that should be easily available there.

[@benbird2962]

😊 To make biscuits the recipe I use is a cup and a half of self-rising flour 4 oz of butter a dash of salt and 6 oz of buttermilk I mix all that together when it's done it should be similar to dry dough flatten them out to about an half inch thick cut and cut them to around 2 inch circle using cookie cutter put them in the oven at 425°cook them for about 11 minutes To make sausage gravy take five or six pieces of sausage fry them take some flour add it to the grease and get it all worked up with the grease then add milk to get the amount of gravy you want a cup to cup and a half heated on the stove to a stickman add salt and pepper to taste and as you gravy

[@ginger4141]

Now you will have to watch a Southerner make biscuits and gravy. Biscuits is an art form, but once you get the hang of it. It's becomes easy.

[@bookman7409]

Me, mystically transported through time and space, sitting there silently, until: Headmaster, how is gravy not a sauce?

[@jenniferworley7115]

Sausage gravy is the best. If you aren't inundated with recipes for these Southern staples, I will be amazed. If I were a better typist I would gladly contribute my recipes for the gravy. But if you don't get a good recipe for biscuits, I have a family recipe (5 generations) for angel biscuits that I will send you. Fair warning they are quite preparation intensive. Loved watching this video. The kids were so adorable. I must have more British ancestors than I realized as Beans and Toast was served as a lunch (dinner) option at my Grandmother's house. I don't recall it being served at breakfast though. Another great one guys. Peace and love, all

[@DavidWalton-g8w]

Everybody is giving them a recipe, but somebody will have to send them the sausage.

[@tgriffin8179]

You can get iced tea sweetened or unsweetened. I prefer the second. These biscuits look crumbly; I prefer mine more flaky. Food Network has several good recipes…. Thank you for the reaction. Cheers!

[@w9gb]

Making a Good Sausage Gravy - is an Art (balance of gravy / grease & flour). I have had versions that were closer to Wallpaper Paste !!

[@RealDiehl99]

I like the kids in these reaction videos. Great personalities. The Headmaster seems like a good guy too. I know it's wrong, but when I think of a British Headmaster, I picture the character from (pink floyd) The Wall...."Wrong! Do it again." 😅

[@cindyr9790]

Southern Biscuit recipe: 2 cups self-rising flour, 1/4 cup lard or shortening, 3/4 cup buttermilk, dash of salt. Using a pastry cutter or fork, work butter or shortening into flour until crumbs are the size of peas. Add buttermilk, stir with fork just until flour is moistened. Heat oven to 475°F. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Gently roll dough with floured rolling pin until 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a cup. Place biscuits on a baking sheet where the edges touch. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Brush tops with butter and enjoy.

[@triplebackspace3623]

I worked it out and on average standard southern ice tea has about the same calories per ounce as coca-cola but I think it just seems sweeter because the tea has a more subtle taste than the flavor of most soft drinks.

[@tinatovar7548]

Great to see them enjoying southern food in sweet tea

[@aprilharward3946]

Jolly is great for trying food especially from the US and Korea. I recommend the Texas BBQ episode. 😊

[@ramonalfaro3252]

Note**** Whichever Recipe you use*** After you cook your sausage & chop it into pieces. Remove it from the pan. (put cook sausage pieces aside in a bowl) add your flour, and a bit of pepper to the fat in the pan & brown ( Careful not to burn it!!!) your flour in the fat before returning the sausage back to the pan and adding milk. This helps cook some flavor into your flour. I use HEAVY CREAM instead of milk for my gravy!

[@storminight]

Use spicy sausage. That might be hard to find there. We call it breakfast sausage. Biscuits are pretty easy too. Of course it’s an art, but you could do it! 😂 I’d love to see you trying it.

[@kimberlyarmstrong2929]

My FAVORITE breakfast! Unfortunately, due to the high fat/calorie content, I limit it to once or twice a year. I definitely recommend you give it a try, just please make it homemade and not from a package. Also, sweet tea is way too sweet for my liking, but I do recommend trying iced tea. As someone who is half English, I grew up with hot tea with milk (I cannot stand now), but I love iced tea, but with a balance of lemon and sugar (kind of tart, kind of sweet). Thanks for another great reaction! 😀💕😀

[@frances4309]

We have brown gravy as well. We have many different types of gravy, even chocolate gravy. Not everyone like that much sugar in their tea here.

[@robertwinebarger4436]

If it helps in your mind, American Biscuits evolved from making British Hardtack Biscuits palatable. They are different from scones mostly in texture. Biscuits are meant to be light and fluffy. Scones are much denser, which makes them apt for putting in extra ingredients like berries or herbs.

[@jenniferwood3643]

American sausage gravy differs by region but it’s fundamentally the same around the country. As an American I’m not a huge fan of sausage gravy but when I’m in the mood biscuits and gravy are amazing comfort food.

[@samoa7431]

Now yall know you gotta make a video where you try biscuits and gravy...

[@luminousmoon86]

I think in America we just call more sauces "gravy" than y'all do. We definitely have the brown sort of gravy too, made with beef drippings and stock. We also have turkey gravy, chicken gravy, pork gravy, etc. Sausage gravy is made by cooking fresh raw pork sausage, flavored with sage, thyme, and pepper. Then you add in flour to the sausage fat in the pan to make a roux. Then you add milk and simmer to thicken into a sauce, seasoned to taste with salt and pepper. So basically, it's a Bechamel Sauce but made with sausage drippings as the fat instead of butter.

[@utcnc7mm]

Would love to have seen them try GRITS. Lol All gravy is not the same, I've tried some at restaurants that have a lot of pepper added to it (or at least that's what it tasted like)

[@tracismith4811]

Okie drinking sweet tea watching the video

[@maryyoung2549]

Look for recipes for baking powder biscuits. Sausage gravy is browned ground sausage add some flour and milk, salt and a little heavy on the pepper.

[@anjoleeeickhoff6800]

We eat Pork ‘N Beans on bread here in central Illinois. When my dad was a kid in the early 1950’s he used to take a bean sandwich to school everyday for lunch because that’s all his family could afford. He still loves beans at 77 years old!😊

[@joycenorthwind6874]

I never realized beans on toast came from Britain. We have it in Canada too only when I was a kid we had wieners chopped into bite size pieces and its called wieners and beans on toast. I still have it once in a while.

[@sjfvet519us]

I recommend you watch some of their videos from their other channel Korean Englishmen. There is a series where they take some "high schoolers" to Korea and introduce them to Korean food.

[@kevinmarshall854]

The gravy that they were eating is a sausage gravy. You Fry bulk sausage or remove it from the casing and fry until done and when it is done you take milk or cream with a little flour or cornstarch and mix it with the drippings from the sausage and mix in the sausage once you have gotten a nice thick and pour it over your biscuits. Goes great with fried eggs. Most people go ahead and have sausage by itself on the side or you can have thin sliced smoked bacon. It is what most Americans consider "a holy pairing". It is absolutely delicious!!!!!

[@reindeer7752]

You can just brew hot tea, let it cool a bit, refrigerate it and then add ice before drinking (or not). A squeeze of lemon is ok, too. I would have hot tea for breakfast and iced tea later in the day. Biscuits are wonderful with butter, honey, jam or preserves. I love scones, as well,but I usually get them made with lemon and poppy seeds. That
