I had my gastric bypass in 2001, and when preparing for it one of my doctors at the time told me something I never forgot - "Your stomach has no idea what time it is, why you are eating cereal for dinner or having Chinese food at 2 am. Your stomach has no concept of time and doesn't care when or what you eat." And it's totally true of course. Now as you get older, naturally what you eat may not necessarily agree with your stomach but that's different than what the doctor was trying to get across. This idea you can't eat this or that at specific times of the day is ridiculous. The whole concept of "breakfast for dinner" is backwards since the stomach doesn't care about time but it's a great idea nonetheless isn't it? :)

[@blenhinton7566]

We will eat biscuits and gravy anytime of the day. Usually for breakfast, but sometimes for other meals.

We tended to have biscuits and gravy for dinner. I never thought about it, because it was normal for us, but maybe it was because my mother had to leave for work early, and she just had more time to do it at dinner? Anyway, always good.

This is the way. I lived in the UK for nearly five years in my early 20s and traveled Europe extensively. My go to move in the UK and Europe was always to ask the locals about the local beer and food specialties. I missed some of the touristy things in favor of experiencing the true local culture. And yes, Brits, don’t be shy about asking locals or servers about how to enjoy foods. The Jolly boys got this part right - when eating BBQ (especially in Texas), cutlery is for the sides, meat is eaten with the hands. Some old school places in Texas (Lockhart) didn’t even serve sides and had signs reading “no forks or knives available.” When in Rome…

It hasn’t clicked for them yet that “sausage” can be a substance rather than an item either. This may take a while.

[@bobbiejojackson9448]

The only problem for James and Millie is that the UK doesn't have sausage like our breakfast sausage. Their sausage has different spices (kinda heavy on the cloves and not enough sage) that makes it less than perfect for making true sausage gravy. Their best bet is to find a recipe online for American breakfast sausage and make it themselves at home. It's really not as hard as it might sound, as long as you can get bulk ground pork and some common herbs and spices. When making sausage gravy, everyone that I know, uses bulk ground sausage and not the links anyway.

A couple of tips for your home made B&Gs...always split and butter the biscuits before adding the sausage gravy...and use a healthy dose of black pepper on top of gravy 🔥

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

It also depends on the person and their biscuits. Like my mom's home made biscuits are so amazing bo butter is needed and they're so fluffy that no need to cut them in half. I just dump a good pile of gravy on top of them. I'm glad I learned how to make my mom's biscuits. As for the gravy for me it all depends if it does or doesn't have sausage in it. If it does I tone down the salt and pepper. If it doesn't I may add more salt and pepper to taste. To me too much pepper and salt actually ruins the taste. Believe me because I've known some people to have dumped their normal amount of salt and pepper in the gravy while cooking it but when it came to eating it I wass un-edible for me after the first bite.

How good biscuit and gravy is can really depend on the recipe, cook and quality of the sausage. When you have a large family and less money it is a tasty filling meal. I’ve actually ordered it for every meal at one point or another so it isn’t just a breakfast meal though it definitely keeps you going when you start the day with it.

[@estanley126]

sorry if anyone has already commented this: biscuits and gravy would have been enjoyed at like 5:30 am before getting out to tend the fields and animals of small farms originally. Of course very few of us live that kind of life these days and don't blame you for thinking it's pretty heavy and hearty for a breakfast food...this was by design to fuel hard-working farmers in the fields, and would have helped stretch sausage further. sausage itself being a way to use the odds and ends kept after the primal cuts of the hog would have been used or sold for income with additional salt as preservative. I like to think, if the pig had a name from being lovingly fed and tended, you would try to extend the meat by creating dishes such as this! :D the gravy is a way of creating something from the grease that renders out of the sausage rather than wasting it. You can also make biscuits in the morning as they don't require proofing/rising like bread.

[@bobthecone]

I love that Millie is just gettin' it with the biscuits and gravy. She was goin' in and I know she was happy.

[@mbourque]

a good sausage gravy starts with browning the sausage, then remove the sausage and keep sausage grease in the pan. then add any seasonings, heavy cream, flour, and anything else to taste. (black pepper is very common) keep stirring it while slowing adding the flour until it's a rich creamy color and slightly watery. (it'll thicken up quickly).

Let's start with this.... Americans can eat and do eat breakfast food for supper supper food for breakfast. You eat what you want to you're not going to be judged for it. I wouldn't have survived college we're not not for leftover pizza that I ate for breakfast. Breakfast in America Mary from person to person. There is no such thing as an American breakfast. You're going to have for breakfast and option of some kind of pork bacon ham or sausage, eggs cooked however you like them including omelettes scrambled fried. The only thing I don't usually see is poached not many people eat poached eggs and the us. You're going to have some kind of bread or toast if I'm getting waffles or pancakes I don't usually order any kind of bread to go with my breakfast. And then you have options of sides. Some people like sliced tomatoes some people like fruit, others want hash browns or grits. We just believe if it's there and we think it up will try it As far as southern breakfast goes, 1 traditional gravy has some sausage bits or in it or it was cooked with some sausage or bacon grease to give it a little flavoring. My son's a vegetarian so he makes his white gravy without any kind of meat product. He just seasons it with salt and pepper. Try different foods 1 different ways and decide what you like. Don't let society dictate it to you. By the way many people's favorite time to eat breakfast is late at night after they've been out with their friends or they've come home from a ball game or that's one of the things about living in America that makes it worth surviving hurricanes and tornadoes LOL.

As would be true for many of us from the Northeast, you have now eaten more grits than I ever have. You got there with the first spoonful.

[@icdogg2361]

Yeah... I've had grits and biscuits with gravy at a hotel buffet, but at no other time. I liked them but probably wouldn't ordinarily order them.

[@karenalves8100]

I live in Massachusetts but have eaten grits for more than 50 years. I married a So Carolina man and as soon as I tried them... It was Game On! My babies started on grits as soon as they could eat solid foods, instead of baby pablum. They loved them then and still do as middle age adults. In fact, my son asked me to cook him some cheese grits with scrambled eggs and bacon for his 35th birthday some years back. Even Northerners can cook some grits like a Southerner. Nothing like that Comfort food cooked by Mama!

So you have never eaten polenta, Yankee? Then you have had grits. White corn instead of yellow, only real difference.

[@peensteen]

@@jeffreysmith236 NOBODY eats grits in south Texas. I never even heard of it until I joined the Navy. Biscuits and gravy is also unknown down here, unless you find one of those gross breakfast buffets that 70-year-olds frequent. Breakfast is served in taco form.

[@davidheiser2225]

@@jeffreysmith236 No, no polenta. Don't even know what it is.

[@marysweeney7370]

In my neck of the woods, we don't have biscuits and gravy. We have a meat in a white sauce for breakfast known as Cream Dried Beef. I used to have it as a child for breakfast on Sunday.

[@carlygrace2]

I grew up on both. Creamed Chipped Beef over toast was a popular breakfast/dinner in our house as well as B&G.😋

[@lyricalalchemist4091]

I am amazed at the level of amusement I experience just watching the two of you eat.

[@judykeith584]

I’m not a fan of biscuits and gravy for breakfast. But love it for supper. Now my hubby could eat it any meal.

[@jerrydobbs1732]

Normally biscuit sausage gravy is a quick breakfast item at McDonald's or Hardee's. But at a proper sit down restaurant or cafe or at home on the weekend it is usually served with eggs bacon or sausage or ham and hash browns. I prefer a little sausage gravy on the hash browns as well.

[@nativetexan9776]

Why are you using your knife? It is tender enough to cut with your fork alone.

[@MichelleA81]

🤤 🤤Looks absolutely delicious!😋 😋 So happy that you enjoyed your time here. Hopefully you come back for more. 🙃

[@gracielee4561]

I'm an Army brat and they call it SOS! They rarely served it on a biscuit usually a piece of toast. SOS stands for "shit on a shingle"! My kids and Grandkids also call it SOS only we skip the "shingle" and use a biscuit. So good!

[@user-tx9uf5lt7v]

I scrolled down making sure… southern folks have SOS! All day anyway. Only way to eat it wrong is when you miss yo mouth. Okay… well where are the grits? Two ways to get it wrong then. Gritos from Tejas!

[@mbourque]

you want a breakfast to be a large hardy meal. 1. because you haven't eaten for a long period while you were asleep and even before that. your body is now starving for fuel and you need to feed it. (this is why you should never skip breakfast) 2. you want lots of carbs and proteins to give you both short term and long term energy so that you can start work for the day and carry you for several hours until at least lunch when you can refuel again. A hardy mean like biscuits and sausage gravy is a great breakfast (just add more proteins like bacon or ham or more sausage). that being said. you can eat any meal, any time of day, as long as you have a mixture of carbs, proteins, and things that will give vitamins and minerals. (the choice is usually veggies, but can be anything that gives you them.)

[@wanleaf]

Have been watching your videos since pandemic. they are so wholesome and help me learn about different and similar of our cultures

[@scott1lori282]

Americans only use a fork for biscuits & gravy. If we use a spoon then the gravy was too thin. If you need a knife then we are dealing with someone learning how to make biscuits.

[@pebsa31]

You gotta add butter, salt and pepper to the grits and mix it all up. Cheese throughout! Makes it much better.

[@giannag4581]

Most Americans after cutting their food put the knife on the side of the plate. Turn the fork in the right hand to eat. The other hand is put in the lap.

[@gregbiggs7564]

Love Biscuits and Gravy!!!!! My Mom didn't make it with sausage growing up but I like it both ways!!!! We mostly had it for breakfast but once a month or so my Mom would fix Breakfast food for dinner......and had to have Gravy and Biscuits!!!! Great stuff!!!!!

[@annamariadenner2518]

In my almost 70 years, I have never tried grits, or biscuits and gravy or whatever that is in the soft taco shell. I will have to put that on my bucket list. Safe travels from the northeast NYS.

[@samjohnson7869]

I love biscuit and gravy, but I am 53 and never tried grits either. They just don't look good to me personally...

[@user-fv5ms4sz8e]

I really like to eat biscuits and gravy with bacon and scrambled eggs. In high school, we ate a lot of French fries and gravy. French fries or Frito corn chips are good with Wolf Brand chilli, shredded cheese, and pickled jalapeno slices. You need them pickled/ canned, so they'll be soft enough to eat.

[@user-jb9ce2ih2z]

So glad you got to try biscuits and gravy here in the U.S.A.! LOVE you guys! 🇺🇸🏈❤️

[@stcrombie]

I love the way Millie's digging into those biscuits! It's got me thinking where I can go for them tomorrow.

[@patrickbouley9232]

Y'all didn't put the hot sauce, it's essential on tacos! Biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon is my favorite breakfast. I'm glad that Y'all came to Texas!!!!

[@JennyWiggins-tw4fd]

What a charming family. I'm happy for you to have such memorable experiences.

[@gavynchapman1808]

My family has always had this for dinner

[@mandeepeterson2297]

I love traditional breakfast foods at supper instead of at the start of my day.

[@mbourque]

I'm a classic grits person. I don't like cheese in my grits. extra butter is fine. and only use salt and black pepper, NOT sugar!!!! sugar is for oatmeal porridge. I like to also add 'creole seasoning'. a protein is also good. bacon, cubed ham, sausage, even shrimp or crawfish tails are common.

[@DVNelson]

So glad you guys enjoy it! It's such a guilty pleasure and sooooo filling!
