I keep hearing brits say "our gravy is brown and yours is white"... this is so wrong. There is an entire world of gravys and the brits chose to use only 1.

[@oldcodger4371]

If I were to take a guess I would say there are at least ten thousand different gravies in the US I might might be a tad conservative on the estimate.

[@t4rg3t5132]

@oldcodger4371 there's a KZbin channel called "the sauce and gravy channel". Shows you how to make all sorts of tasty food toppings.

Yeah, I love that Brits think their biscuits and gravy are the only ones in the world. I know some areas where they call tomato sauce, red gravy. It's all about the culture.

Brown gravy AKA beef gravy is the most common gravy in the US. Then Sausage, Chicken, Turkey, and white/peppered gravy

[@Tee-cl6dc]

I make the best homemade pork gravy..another brown gravy but made with the bit from the pan of a pork roast no imitation cubes 😊

Also our “breakfast sausage” is usually preseasoned with sage and such. So it tastes different.

[@sharnadixon-scott710]

Yes in the UK it's pre seasoned but we don't call it breakfast sausage

[@Moonbow1984]

@ I’ve been looking into it. And it seems maybe Lincolnshire seasoned sausage may be the closest but odds are it’s only mildly seasoned. And it would need to be a mince and not in a link as from my research the links have a higher cereal content compared to links in America as filler. I would imagine with the mince hopefully you get straight sausage.

[@deejacks1]

Kabir, we have brown gravy in the U.S. That's actually the most common gravy. There's also beef, turkey, chicken, mushroom gravy, etc. Some are The gravy you've seen in the Southern restaurants is sausage gravy/country gravy. That's the white gravy, usually served over biscuits.

You should post it so Kabir can make some. Of course, he’ll have to go find a recipe for American style sausage. The flavor profile is quite different from sausage that they would typically find in the UK.

My grandmother grew up in Nebraska and always made it in the mornings for me from scratch when I stayed over as a kid. It's all over the country. You can even find it here in California.

[@ScottyM1959]

Kabir, we have brown beef gravy, veal gravy, chicken & turkey gravies , but we also have sausage gravy like you see in this video and Alabama white BBQ sauce and white gravy without the sausage that goes on chicken fried steak. Then there's red eye gravy, which is pan drippings and juices from cooking ham mixed with coffee. No, our biscuits are made with baking soda and baking powder buttermilk, which has some acidity to it, flour, and ice cold butter. Now, if you put that fried chicken on a perfectly cooked waffle with real maple syrup, then you have a meal fit for a king. You nailed it. It's comfort food, aka soul food. It feeds your soul.

[@nullakjg767]

you have to remember british people have no idea what gravy actually is. they never learned what a "roux" is because they hate the french. so to stick it to the french, they actively avoid learning any culinary skills or techniques.

Born and raised in the US Southwest on wonderful Mexican food. In 1975 while stationed in the South was introduced to biscuits and gravy. What a revelation. A good sausage gravy over a fluffy buttery fresh biscuit is a world unto itself. Learned how to make it from a lovely Southern grandmother, and have been making it every since. I make Iced Tea sometimes sweet sometimes not using a variety of aromatic tea leaves not tea bags. Hey Kabir next time you visit US find yourself a good Southern restaurant and try the biscuits and gravy.

[@ht9851]

Sausage gravy is basically a meat sauce. It's nothing like brown gravy.

[@aleatharhea]

In medieval Europe, the term, "biscuit", referred to a hard, dry bread that was baked twice. (the Latin “bis coctus” means “twice-baked”.) It was similar to what is known today as "hardtack. In Britain, the word evolved to describe sweet baked goods. British settlers brought their baking traditions with them to colonial America, but the recipe for biscuits evolved into a softer flaky bread that was influenced by American ingredients and tastes. So neither country is more correct than the other. The biscuit evolved separately from the same ancestor. (Self-rising flour was invented much later, in 1845.)

[@matthill5426]

To answer your question, yes sweet tea uses the same tea leaves you would use for hot tea. The only difference is that it's served ice cold, often with a wedge of lemon to squeeze in, or slices of lemon floating in the pitcher.

[@ttecram]

7:58 ketchup on chicken should be a jailable offense

[@pjschmid2251]

[@MrYabber]

Trust me the brown and white gravy are completely different, we have both here in the states. You have to try white gravy man lol.

[@Judy-g1y3g]

We also use Brown gravy in the US, but we usually use it on potatoes, meat and other dishes. White gravy is used for the biscuits and mainly breakfast dishes.

[@stuckgrenadepin.225]

I like a couple hamburger patties on mashed potatoes with some brown gravy.

[@ALLarson-k1k]

Kabir- I make SO MANY different gravies! In the past three weeks I have made sausage gravy, turkey gravy and beef au jus. Sausage gravy smells amazing, which overcomes the look of it. And sweet tea (it's not just called tea, it's called sweet tea) is brewed tea served over ice. It is brewed strong and sweet so that the ice dilutes it to the right flavor in the southern heat. I have a pitcher of sweet tea in the fridge all year round. When you DO have biscuits and gravy, we usually split the biscuit open before pouring sausage gravy over the biscuit. That way you have the gravy absorb into the soft part of the biscuit while the crunchy exterior keeps the bite intact.

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

There are regular Southern biscuits, drop biscuits, laminated biscuits…and Pillsbury. No. Bad. Biscuits.

[@aleatharhea]

I like cinnamon rolls with raisins Yum

[@HeyIts_B_A_618]

The American midwest is also known for biscuits and gravy as well. The very first time I ever tried biscuits and gravy was in Illinois, which is in no way a southern state.

[@forreal2398]

I am an American Veteran and this is one of the foods that even the military could not mess up. I also use to make biscuits for Mc Donalds and Hardee's. These are not as tall as they should be by about a half inch or a little less.

@@jrafel1707 I was gonna say mayo, but less sure about on biscuits specifically. But yes on chicken sandwiches

[@revgurley]

Gravy is basically fat, flour, and a liquid. So the white gravy/sausage gravy is fat from cooked sausage (and a few bits of sausage for fun), cooked with flour until a roux happens, then add milk instead of water or stock/broth. Really easy and really good.

I grew up in Southern California and my mom (from Longview, Washington) would make sun tea. She’d put a bunch of water in a large glass drink dispenser and put a bunch of tea bags in the water, stir and then leave it in the sun all day (works best during summer). After you bring the tea in, stir thoroughly and then serve on ice. You can also add slices of lemon in with the water and tea bags to have lemon infused tea. Add some honey to make it sweet tea. Not sure how it’s done in the south but that how my mom made it. Her mother was from Australia.

[@stuckgrenadepin.225]

That’s pretty much how we made it growing up in Texas. Our porch would always have a line of tea pitchers making the tea for the day. In the winter we made it on the stove by basically making a concentrate of tea then mixing that into ice water in the pitcher, still sweet tea in the end.

[@davidcopple8071]

Howdy from Texas. Biscuits and gravy are a Southern mainstay. It's popularity has grown in the last few decades as people from the northern states coming down and being introduced to the dish. Now biscuits and gravy are popular throughout the United States. Here in the South at least, you can't hardly find a fried chicken restaurant that doesn't offer Southern Biscuits and even cream gravy. ( That's the same white gravy only minus the sausage. ) But I have to point out that you are not likely to find anyone here in the South having a glass of iced tea along with their biscuits and gravy. Mainly because it's primarily a breakfast dish here, ( though that's in no way a hard and fast rule), and you are much more likely to see Americans having coffee, milk or even orange juice to go with it depending on their age and preferences. I'm sure someone has at one time or another had sweet tea along with their breakfast here in the south. But it's definitely not a thing. The cream gravy is very simple. Very similar to a bechamel sauce. It's really just some sort of hot fat, cooking oil, butter , bacon grease or lard, and flour. Making a white rue. Then after a minute or two when the rue has had time for the raw flour to cook a bit. Milk is added and stirred until it comes to a slow boil and as it boils it becomes thicker and thicker. Then add salt and pepper to taste, ( usually heavy on the black pepper ), and a good pinch of rubbed sage. You can just use that as is, especially if you are not doing biscuits and gravy with it but rather using it for a dipping sauce for your fried chicken tenders or to pour over a chicken fried steak or schnitzel. You can even use it as is for biscuits and gravy without the sausage if you prefer and it's still pretty good. But the majority of Southerners, at least, do really enjoy it with a good breakfast sausage, ( minced Pork seasoned with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and or pepper flakes, and a good pinch of rubbed sage ) . It's a very easy dish to make at home. And even the biscuits are pretty easy to make. You can find plenty of recipes online for southern biscuits. A very popular favorite here are the biscuits made with buttermilk. But it's not mandatory. And you can even make your own version of buttermilk using regular milk and adding a little lemon or vinegar to it. There are also instructions online for how exactly to make this substitution as well.

[@jenniferandrews1917]

We make all kinds of gravy here in America. Even chocolate gravy. This is Ollie’s father btw

[@sharnadixon-scott710]

So same as the UK

[@janethernandez724]

Oh yes, I remember watching that JOLLY video, that is Henry, Ollie's dad and he's a grandfather to Ollie's daughter. It was nice to see him like and approve of the biscuits and gravy and tea and he tried the fried chicken with the hot honey and the gravy. Here in America, we have variations of gravy we have the white sausage gravy, the brown beef gravy, light colored chicken gravy it is like a light brown to almost tan color, same with turkey gravy and that's not all, we have other types of gravy in the states! If and when you go back to America, try biscuits and gravy in one of the southern states, such as Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi etc., I know I missed some others. I enjoyed this reaction! Peace. ☮

[@peridot1706]

Kabir, to confuse word usage further: Tomato meat sauce (as in pasta dishes) is sometimes called (among Italian Americans) gravy too. 😊 If you ever watch The Sopranos or movies like Goodfellas, that's the Sunday dinner gravy they're refrencing. Overall, Americans have some manner of brown gravy more often than the white sausage gravy. It can range from light to dark brown, with a flavor base of either mushroom, poultry, pork or beef.

[@whoaman8616]

Milk gravy is made with flour roux (white gravy) and is generally thicker. While meat gravy uses cornstarch slurry and is thinner and pourable, as you are used to. Biscuits rise because of the baking powder or buttermilk creates gases within the biscuit, while the fat creates the layers of flakiness.

[@aliciajames8038]

There's alot of gravy types here in the USA. We have the classic brown, Giblet gravy, tomato gravy, Sawmill( sausage gravy) white gravy( used on chicken fried chicken, chicken fried steak), red eye gravy( made with coffee). We never confused biscuits with cookies and our Tea is tea just cold and sweet( in the South) I was in California last month and ordered an Arnold palmer and it was made with ice tea not sweet tea I've never been so disappointed I had to add splenda lol Chicken and biscuits go go together like peanut butter and jelly, chicken restaurants always give you biscuits with the chicken, and you can order chicken biscuits(and sausage, bacon, ham, bologna, sausage links etc on a biscuit with and egg and cheese as well) at any breakfast spot

[@tomhalla426]

Southern cooks take their biscuits very seriously, with such niceties as using grated frozen butter in the dough to get the layering right.

[@maruka1716]

We have a lot of different gravies depending on what they're made from. We make dark brown gravy with beef broth and pan drippings to serve with roast beef, and light brown gravy with turkey or chicken broth and pan drippings to serve with turkey or chicken. This particular gravy is made with milk (like béchamel sauce) and the drippings from cooking the sausage, and the chunks are the crumbled up sausage meat. Some Americans even refer to tomato sauce (the kind you put on spaghetti) as gravy, but that's less common. Iced tea can be made with any normal, black tea or from herbal teas. I like peppermint iced tea. But iced tea made from black tea is usually served with lemon and sugar, sometimes a little sugar and sometimes a lot. Americans are more likely to drink coffee when British people drink hot tea, but iced tea competes with sodas and lemonade and other cold drinks.

[@ESUSAMEX]

Ketchup? Hell NO! Ketchup doesn't ever go on chicken. That's what the sausage gravy is for.

[@mildredpierce4506]

[@manxkin]

Yes! You split the biscuit in half lengthwise and cover it in the sausage gravy! Of course sweet tea is made from tea! And yes, we have brown gravy too! Like when you make a roast.

[@emanymton713]

Yes southern sweet tea is actual steeped tea leaves. It’s just got lots of sugar and ice to be refreshing in the heat of the south.

[@futuregenerationz]

We have regular gravy with turkey or pot roast as well. Sausage gravy is made with, for lack of a better word, 'southern' gravy. 'Sausage gravy' naturally has breakfast sausage mixed into it.

[@eparris2908]

"Maybe they were trying to make regular biscuits and used the wrong flour." Yes, and that's how we got to the moon. We were actually shooting for New Zealand, and just by chance, we brought some space suits.

[@daricetaylor737]

Kabir, "Southern tea", "sweet tea", "iced tea", whatever you call it, is made by brewing tea leaves. The main difference is the ice and sugar. A lot of people do what is called "sun tea" where they take tea bags, place them into a very large jar, fill it with water, and set it in direct sunlight all day to let the heat from the sun steep it.

[@kristina__marie]

Iced tea does not have tea leaves in it when drinking. You brew it strong, refrigerate it, and pour over ice when drinking. If you want sweet tea, you add the sugar while hot, so it's combined when cooled. 🥤cheers

[@MizFrost]

Just fyi: the white gravy in the south is usually made with breakfast sausage and it is specifically a breakfast food. We have all the gravies.

[@craignickum6551]

First cut the biscuit in half then pour on gravy. Gravy can be any color. First make a roux by cooking in skillet equal parts flour and butter. You need to cook long enough to get the flour taste out. For this meal don't cook flour until it gets dark. Pour in mild when color of roux is still light colored, add sausage. If you want a gravy for say beef, cook roux until it's darker, then add your pan drippings/beef stock and you have brown gravy. Any shade of gravy can be made.

[@111smd]

just an FYI American biscuits have been traced back to when the May Flower first landed and they had plenty of Hard Tack leftover so they milled it down and added lots of butter/lard to give it flavor

[@susanspringfield448]

The southern part of the US gets very hot in the summer. So we ice our tea. And we flavor the tea with simple sugar syrup.

[@Theresa-lp9xd]

The man is Ollie's Dad - he called him Dad several times in the video. The "lumps" in the gravy are pieces of sausages. Now I want a cinnamon roll too - they looked yummy.

[@jeriellis-v1h]

As Americans we tend to call sauces gravy. Not all gravy is brown because it is made with different drippings from a pan. Not all sauces are made with drippings from a pan and therefore not all sauces are gravy. A good example is mushroom sauce. Most Americans would call that mushroom gravy. Biscuits and gravy are made with American sausage and therefore have much more flavor due to seasoning in the sausage. Brits Sausage if good are milder and more delicately seasoned (bangers). Scones are NOT the same as biscuits. Scones may include ingredients like buttermilk, sugar and eggs. Biscuts are generally made with things like cream, flour and salt (never sugar). The texture and taste are very different. So glad the sausage and gravy were enjoyed.

[@changeworkssystem6024]

YES, the gravy goes ON the biscuit -- it should SMOTHER the biscuit completely. Put some scrambled eggs on the side and you've got an amazing breakfast. YES, iced tea is regular tea ... usually brewed hot an then cooled down and poured over ice. Sometimes it's heavily sweetened (sweet tea) but unsweetened ice tea is plain tea poured over ice.

[@joytomorrow1933]

Gravy in America can be dark or light brown, white sausage gravy, brown gravy most likely eaten on different foods like mashed potatoes, chicken, roast, steak, rice.

Biscuits and gravy in the US is meant to be a very hearty filling dish to warm you up during the winter. Because we have harsh winters here in the US. Temps as low as 30 degrees below zero at times. And way too much ice and snow to speak of. So it would stand to reason that we would eat good hot filling food to get by. Biscuits and gravy is very much a comfort food here.

Another comment…yes, unsweetened iced tea and sweet tea both use a black tea blend. My stepdad is a sweet tea elitist and insists that in order to make proper sweet tea, the sugar MUST be added in while the tea is still hot. If you try to add sugar after it’s already cooled off, it won’t work. I am going to offend some people, but I am but a simple Midwestern transplant to Kentucky. But I don’t particularly care for biscuits and gravy! But I am also autistic and it’s kind of a sensory hell. Especially as someone who doesn’t like sausage and the bits of sausage are small and hard to pick out (at least how I’ve had it).

How exciting to try other cultural dishes! You never know what you are missing! Most Americans make biscuits using regulars four. There are those who use self rising flour!! The lumps in the gravy is the sausage!!

America's idea of gravy is a topping sauce made from a rue (meat fat or butter and flour) mixed with a liquid like broth, water, milk, or even coffee.

I would love to see you try biscuits and gravy, but a heads up. Please ask your american viewers how to make your pork more like our breakfast sausage. It makes a huge difference with the seasonings in American Breakfast sausage that make the gravy. It's not only the meat, but the peppery seasoning and the sausage seasonings that give the gravy it's flavor. I'd be curious to see your reaction to tasting them. I've tried scones (I'm sure not as good as made in the U.K. but the ones I've tried have a completely different texture, and are not as soft and fluffy as our biscuits which are closer to a fresh cooked loaf of bread with a different flavor.) I'd eat a biscuit over a scone any day.

You use something similar. It's Yorkshire Pudding and Gravy.
