Completely different

[@jerrimenard3092]

U.S. biscuits are unique.They are fluffy, almost like a potato consistency, like mashed kind but stiffer as the gravy and sausage grease bonds with it. Imagine bangers and mash but with soft bread instead.

[@alonenjersey]

Yes, biscuits here in the states are unique. I've known of what "bangers & mash" are for many years. Maybe because I've been a HUGE fan of mid-60's British music. Anyway, my version is Sweet Italian Sausages w/ Seasoned mashed potatoes.

Some folks like grits with salt/pepper or cheese. Made right they can be good, but for breakfast I still want my sugar and butter.

The most shocking thing is the sausage gravy. Most people assume the gravy is something weird but once you learn the nature of the recipe it makes perfect sense. The best part is its one of those things that makes everything better. That is why there are plenty of skillet recipes that just combine all the meat items you would find in a breakfast in one bowl then cover it in sausage gravy. Instant 10/10 breakfast. You can also use it with country fried steak or fried chicken along with egg noodles or mashed potatoes for a 10/10 dinner.

Grits are a southern food. It's a good poor man's dish, it fills you up and stays with you for energy. Sausage gravy is the same. Whatever you could throw together to make a meal.

Cheese grits, or grits with red eye gravy over it. Awesome. ❤

the issue is that grits are often not prepared well and are underseasoned. they need salt, black pepper, and butter at the minimum and a bit of cream, some cheese, crumbled bacon etc. only make things better. as for bloody mary's, they are quite divisive and may be an acquired taste. if you like savory foods, tomatoes, and vodka/gin then you're in luck.

[@MizGator]

As a southern girl that makes grits almost every weekend, please know that I don't know anyone that eats grits like a main dish. It's not like oatmeal that can be a solo breakfast dish, grits is a side dish, that's intended to be eaten like if you order a side of eggs, and/or hash browns with a meat. Also, most people eat it with a spoon, because as you can tell it's harder to pick up a good portion with a fork. Try eating grits with a meal like bacon and eggs. Even with your biscuits and gravy, you could get a side of grits. My favorite way to eat grits is fried fish and grits, salmon croquettes and grits.

[@marahdolores8930]

Cheese grits with shrimp, or grits & grillades.

[@MizGator]

@@marahdolores8930 that’s very different. I’m talking about going out to breakfast (or even making breakfast at home) and just ordering a bowl of grits like it’s a main. That doesn’t happen. They were debating if grits should be eaten with something like bacon, and the waiter said ppl just eat it plain. Think about it like fries. Yes, you can get carne asada fries or a big plate of chilli cheese fries with all the fixings and consider that an entire meal or main dish. But no one’s ordering a basket of fries for dinner. Fries are considered a side dish.

[@Spartucus101]

That's the beauty of grits really. There are so many different ways to make them. Cheese, Hot sauce, Butter, Eggs, ham. My mom used to mix in Brown Sugar and Cinnamon.

"Gravy" can refer to any meat based pan sauce. "Cream" gravy is what goes with sausage and is made from milk obviously whereas "Brown" gravy is more of what you expect as gravy.

[@charliedavis8894]

It's a bit more complicated than that. Leaving Italians and "tomato gravy" aside for now, gravy or cream sauce/gravy always has 3 main ingredients: fat, thickener and liquid. Different combinations produce vastly different results. Here are some of them; Bechamel sauce; butter, flour and milk. Made thin, it is used as a sauce over vegetables or as a light accompaniment to foods such as a dill sauce for fish. Made medium thick, it is used as a base for casseroles with mild meats (chicken, tuna) and pasta or rice, macaroni and cheese, cheese dip and the like. Made thick, it is used to shape the above foods, like tuna croquettes or fried macaroni and cheese balls. Cream Gravy; Meat fat (tallow, lard, bacon or sausage fat, etc.), Flour, corn, tapioca or potato starch, and milk. Flour is the norm here and is cooked thoroughly with the fat until light brown before adding the milk. Using sausage or bacon fat and the sausage or bacon meat produces sausage or bacon gravy, some use both meats but still call it sausage gravy. Using beef fat, flour, milk and adding beef (chipped or burger) produces chipped beef on toast (the proverbial SOS) or hamburger gravy for noodles, mashed, fried or baked potatoes, rice or toast. Regular gravy (shades of brown); This gravy is made from the fats and juices (drippings) left after cooking beef, pork, chicken or turkey, flour or other thickener, and broth or water. The drippings are cooked with thickener then broth or water is added until the right consistency is obtained. Here, corn, potato or tapioca starch is the norm, always mixing corn starch with a little water first. Beef gravy is usually just called brown gravy. The others, lighter in color, are just called pork gravy, chicken gravy and turkey gravy. These gravies are similar to the cream gravies in that meat can be added to the gravy then either poured over or mixed with and baked, pasta noodles, rice, toast or bread, mashed or baked potatoes, etc. So, these 3 ingredients, fat, thickener and liquid, when combined correctly, give an almost endless array of different foods and one can add salt, pepper, spices and herbs or other foods to their gravy to make it their own. Sorry for the lengthy post but decades in the food industry causes me grief when home cooks don't have this basic understanding of American gravies!

I live in central Alabama and I've never seen a tomato sauce biscuits and gravy before - must be only a south Alabama thing. The one I'm familiar with is the creamy white Sausage Milk Gravy. I probably would've also found someplace else to eat if I had been served a tomato sauce biscuit and gravy. I'm not partial to tomato sauce. I know that to the west of Alabama, some places have chocolate gravy and biscuits, but I'm a bit leery of trying it.

[@RebelCowboysRVs]

@@laurie7689 Chocolate gravy is a northeast Alabama tradition. It seems to originate from the Sand Mtn. part of the Cumberland. Its served to kids for breakfast on their birthday. When you find it elsewhere, you can usually find an ancestor form Sand Mtn. Its pretty good if you have a taste for hot cocoa as its a powdered cocoa based gravy, not a chocolate bar based one. Tomato gravy is pretty common all over the south. Tomatoes for breakfast is common so it makes sense. But its more popular in older farming communities.

[@syntheticsleep]

Grits are actually a lot like oatmeal. Some people really like it plain, but I prefer something along with it. Eggs are great, especially if you keep the yolks running and bust it up in the grits, the yolks will act like a really flavorful butter. Also, if you're eating any kind of steak with your breakfast, dropping in some of the juice from the meat or else having them on the same plate so they absorb it that way and get some of that flavor, you can't beat it. Glad you tried the biscuits & gravy at a spot that seems to do them proper rather than a big chain. But if you really want to take your southern food experience to the next level, breakfast or otherwise, find a spot that doesn't even look like a proper restaurant...ask around town...It'll usually be a small, family owned hole in the wall. THOSE are the spots where you're going to get southern food that will knock your socks off. Trust me.

Great vid! Love biscuits and gravy myself, but not a huge grits person. Bloody Mary's, I get not being for everyone, but they are the PERFECT drink for tailgating at early games when you're not quite feeling 100% yet, but need to get something in your stomach that isn't just beer.

[@ethanmcdowell9677]

I love watching Brits try American biscuits and gravy for the first time. That dish is a staple here in the States....

[@Ladiofthewoods]

Sausage gravy is basically bèchamel with breakfast sausage. The more pan drippings the better it will taste. I usually double down on the sausage and add red pepper flakes for a bit of a kick. Coming from New England and never having had them before I am happy to say they are the best part of southern breakfast. Brown beans and corn bread runs a close second.

[@SpanishPeanut]

Always a good morning to wake up to my grandmother’s biscuits and gravy!! Glad y’all enjoyed them! Bloody Mary’s can be hit or miss, a good bartender can get it right. Another version is called a Vampiro, heavier on the Tabasco and Worcester sauce and absolutely amazing!!

[@joypalos474]

Because our body can differ in what we need from time to time, foods can be hit or miss. But, I love grits with butter, salt, pepper and Carolina sausage crumbled in it. ❤

[@ninajones1175]

I like grits with a fried egg on top with a runny yolk to mix with the grits…we also love them with peppers, onions and shrimp

[@shanehebert396]

Grits is just bulk food that us poor people grew up eating. It doesn't have a lot of taste in itself so put stuff in it. For breakfast, I really like several fried eggs (over medium) to chop up and mix in. Grape or apple jelly mixed in is good for a sweet. For dinner, get some shrimp and grits. For biscuits and gravy, milk gravy is best although you can put a little ground up burger or sausage in the gravy, too. Can make tomato gravy, too.

[@Roma-SRyan]

I grew up in an upper middle class household, and we enjoyed grits for Sunday breakfast, with eggs and bacons, sausage. My mom made it with whatever cheese we had and it was always a delightful and welcomes addition to our palate

[@briangoss8062]

There are two ways to do grits. You can do savory or sweet. Most people do savory but some do sugar, brown sugar, honey and/or cinnamon on top of the grits for a more oatmeal like experience. Almost everybody of course does lotsa butter ;-). I have done it both ways. Some people eat them by themselves much like oatmeal but most do it as a side with eggs, ham, bacon, omelettes, toast, sausage et cetera. So happy you guys liked them in general.

[@richardcooke9948]

I add maple syrup, real from trees not corn syrup.

[@michaelwinters2574]

B&G has cream in it, so it feels like breakfast. Most folks not from here believe it is dinner gravy, so it doesn’t make sense. Glad you all enjoyed it and are having a good time over here. Peace.

[@michaelwinters2574]

Butter, cheese, and hot sauce for the grits too

[@VaBeachBeach2971]

I grew up eating biscuits and gravy. The biscuit is like buttermilk biscuit the gravy is usually a sausage gravy made with the grease of the sausages with some flour salt and pepper whisk together until thick. Then add crumbled sausages back in to gravy mix and pour over biscuits. Super yummy!

[@OmaSimster]

It's basically a bechamel sauce with fried ground sausage but the nutmeg is usually omitted in favor of the seasonings in the sausage.

[@VirtualHolocaust]

for sausage gravy i suggest a ton of pepper and salt. I have always liked mine that way since a child.

[@gchicago9]

someone just needs to rebrand biscuits and gravy for the UK market and theyll make so much money. literally just call it something else and make zero other adjustments

[@LarryLatta]

I'd say you should look at the grits as something more like rice. Like it's just a base to be personally customized. I like it savory and spicy. But for breakfast, adding some bacon is a good move, also. It's also nostalgic for the, uh, less rich, lol. Stretches well, so to speak.

[@altlagg2417]

Just to give you an idea of how it's made, typically when I make Biscuits & Gravy at home, I start by cooking up simple pork sausage (no casing), getting the crumbled sausage nice & crisp. Then we make a simple roux (1 part flour with 1 part oil/butter - usually I use a little of the oil left from the sausage and a little butter), and to that you add milk. When it's thickened up to the proper consistency, mix in the sausage crumbles. Add a little salt to taste and a bunch of fresh ground black pepper and you're done. Unless you want to mix in a little more butter. Yes, it's not health food. But it is delicious! It's an old recipe that was thought up during times of scarcity. Eventually it became comfort food - I know I can't eat it without remembering Saturday mornings at Grandma's house...

[@gregkelly2145]

Southern sausage gravy is pretty easy to make. You need some breakfast sausage. Cook into small bits it until brown then capture all of the drippings and set the sausage aside. Put the drippings and half a stick of butter into a pot. Heat that until all is melted then start whisking in all purpose flour until the mixture starts to brown and thicken (this is a roux). Then slowly add around a quart of whole milk mixing very fast so that you don't get lumps. Simmer until the whole mix thickens, add the sausage back. Salt to taste and bingo.

[@michaelairheart6921]

Sausage gravy is so easy to make. Homemade biscuits are a little more involved but well worth it, especially buttermilk biscuits.

[@dr.stacey7283]

Check out America’s Test Kitchen’s recipe for easy biscuits. It a whole new way and they’re delicious! Basically flour, baking soda, a little salt and sugar and you mix in warm heavy cream. Weird I know, but amazing. I’ve made so many biscuits, cutting in shortening, butter, shortening and butter, buttermilk, not working it much at all and using White Lily self-rising flour which is absolutely the best. I still use the White Lily self-rising flour in the america’s test kitchen recipe, and then follow the directions they provide. It literally takes more time for the oven to preheat than it does making the biscuits. Game changer for sure

[@jenniferandrews1917]

Bloody Mary is the BEST hangover cure ever. However I don’t like mine spicy. Biscuits and gravy vary a lot and it is important to find a good one.😊 I’m glad you found one and tried it. Let me know if you want the recipe. To me, grits are like sandy mashed potatoes lol. Not my favorite.

[@aaronlayes4485]

you can also do Grits as a sweet dish with Butter, Honey, cinnamon, maybe a little maple syrup. that's my favorite way to eat them.

[@Standridge.Learning]

You all are a pleasure to watch. I hope you will come to Oklahoma for a food adventure someday.

Glad you guys loved your first try of biscuits and gravy and enjoyed your meal! Now we’re gonna need a homemade tasting of your own biscuits and gravy. Maybe even make a few different versions. I’m sure there are a lot of followers more than willing to share their recipes 😉. Just don’t forget the sage!

[@theflaxxensaxxentake1874]

Oh to be young again, back when I cared if a stiff drink tasted good or not.

[@anndeecosita3586]

I love my grits mixed up with butter cheese scrambled eggs and spices. It’s better to make them with part half and half than just water in my opinion. Also the consistency is important. Not too runny and not too stiff. Also I don’t like instant grits that much.

[@ragingpatriot772]

Biscuits and gravy with eggs over medium is excellent as well. The yoke mixes in with the biscuit and gravy and really sets it off

[@Nonsensically]

My mom would make her biscuits & gravy with either sausage, ground beef or dried beef. Didn’t matter…it was delicious. I also prefer whole hominy kernels to grits. Lovely video!

[@DaveBrazda-b4f]

You should try biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs.

[@Livnglrg]

Don’t forget about the shredded hash browns….

[@mso4433]

Grits are made from hominy, a type of corn. Very popular in the American South. I love them.

[@MrRunt128]

The grits in a nice restaurant are stone ground which means they are creamier. The great thing about grits is that you can have them with cheese, butter, syrup (if you want them sweet). Grits with shrimp and andouille sausage with cheese and Cajun sauce is to die for.

[@ionecuff6323]

Grits is made from finely ground corn, so it is bland. But, grits are kind of like potatoes and rice, you can add different things to it to make them more flavorful. I like grits with lots of butter, salt, & pepper, or with pork gravy. People put all kinds of different things on grits, so it is best to experiment to see what you like. Most people don't like the texture of grits, but not everyone is the same, that's why we have so many different and delicious foods out there!

[@Mr.KayKayJay]

Grits are made from hominy. Very differ maze from corn.

[@ionecuff6323]

@@Mr.KayKayJay Thank you, I was always told it was from a type of corn, but being told that as a kid, I just thought it was corn. I love hominy! Our stores quit carrying the yellow hominy, only the white in HUGE HUGE CANS! Way too much for one person. Thank you again for correcting me, I always love learning.

[@Mr.KayKayJay]

@ionecuff6323 Well, it turns out we are both right.....and wrong... you were more correct than I. Hominy is just a field corn that has been treated to make it more puffy. So, turns out grits ARE made from Hominy, and Hominy is just treated corn. So thank YOU for teaching me❤️❤️

[@ionecuff6323]

@@Mr.KayKayJay So we both learned something. My Mom was from Alabama & we always had hominy with lots of butter! I miss that so much! I think we just proved my Dad's saying he used to tell us kids all the time, "If you don't learn at least one thing new every day, then you have wasted a day." We didn't waste a day!

[@gregoriancatmonk6904]

Grits are pretty neutral, I particularly like it with butter, a fair salt and pepper and Maybe crumbled bacon and cheese....I like it savory. But I have friends that add butter, milk, sugar or brown sugar and eat almost it like oatmeal.

[@laurie7689]

It's a type of poor man's porridge, so it needs to be dressed up to give it flavor. I like both savory and sweet renditions. I might add sugar or maple syrup and fruit or I might add red salsa, cheese, and an over-easy egg. Those are my favorite versions.

[@neelixstfc-server0218]

Also... grits are just basically ground corn... so whatever you like on corn, goes well in grits. ... on the other side of that coin, pepper, honey, and butter, is my favorite combination.

Biscuits and gravy are fantastic, and even better with a side of eggs (poached or over easy) and even some fried potatoes. I am not a fan of savory grits, but love sweet grits (maple syrup or brown sugar, and add some fruit).... but by themselves. Cheers!

[@alesquire9180]

I love putting sugar in my grits. The grits become a bit watery but become very sweet and really good. Try sugar on your grits.

[@lancekirkwood7922]

Little extra butter, dash of salt and pepper, and some sugar. It's like eating white sweet corn on the cob.

When I do my biscuits and sausage gravy I add in a small can of diced green chilis to the gravy and a sunny side up egg on top of it all 😋👩🏻‍🍳💋. Green chilis is something we fell in love with while living in New Mexico. When we came back to Texas I had to incorporate it into my cooking. I make a really delicious green chili chicken enchilada too 😋👩🏻‍🍳💋. Safe travels! 👍🏻🙏🏻

People typically drink Bloody Mary’s the morning after some heavy drinking and a bad hangover. The ingredients of the drink are thought to help relieve one’s hangover.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

How can you not like a Bloody Mary? It looked like he drank from the bottom before stirring it well and got straight up mix. You can also put about a third of a beer in it which is really good. Of course y'all being from the UK it's probably to spicy for ya.

[@theshadowfax239]

I love a Bloody Mary, but I can understand how people don't like alcoholic, spicy tomato juice. It's not that hard of a concept to figure out.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

@@theshadowfax239 I think a lot of it has to do with where you grew up. Being a Texan I grew up with spicy food so it's not surprising that I like a bloody mary. I also love a Michelada maybe even more than a bloody mary.

if the waitress doesnt tell you. Its one of the easiest things in the world to make is sausage gravy. Take a pound of sausage (breakfast) and put it in a skilled and brown it and dont worry about it sticking or anything. Some people take the sausage out for this part but i dont bother. Then take a cup or so of flour and brown the flour in the susage greese then slowly add milk as you mix/whisp it. Ton of salt and pepper and you are good.

[@Nikybeez]

I'm glad y'all enjoyed the food! As for Bloody Mary's, even the best some won't like. And they do change according to region. Like, the drink in New Orleans might be a lot spicier with pickled green beans, while the one in Baltimore might have Old Bay seasoning and a celery stalk. When it comes to grits, I recommend making sure you're not getting instant. Cook them up for the proper amount of time and add cheese and shrimp, crab, or lobster. You need salt and pepper, but adding other things can do wonders, like garlic and/or hot pepper. Just don't forget the butter. Remember, it's basically just corn without the shell. What do you like to eat with corn?
