Brits try Southern Biscuits and Gravy for the first time! (Reaction)

[@jodyharnish9104]

I'm American, and I've had friends visit from England and Ireland. They both said no to biscuits and gravy. They just wanted tea. They came to the kitchen when I was dipping up, and the aromas changed their minds! They ate it and asked for more.

[@birch5757]

I manage a brunch kitchen...we serve A LOT of biscuits and gravy. We even have an item that's a biscuit breakfast sandwich smothered in gravy. Over easy egg, choice of breakfast meat and cheese, then boom...onto the biscuit and hit it with the gravy. Honestly, if I had to choose my last meal, that would be part of it.

[@LancerX916]

Biscuits and gravy is my #1 favorite breakfast meal. And it's not a scone, it's made with different ingredients than a scone. When I was a kid, I used to visit my grandparent's horse ranch for a week in the summer. My grandmother always made homemade biscuits and gravy once or twice for breakfast because she knew it was my favorite.

[@ReadR00ster1]

a scone is the closet thing they have there but yeah, they aren't quiet the same. Southern buttermilk biscuits just taste way better.

The “steak” is a cubed steak (or minute steak). It’s breaded the same way you would bread and fry chicken. It’s really easy to make and it’s really good. 😉

[@dollcf6722]

If you can't buy cube steak there you can make your own by taking a sirloin and hit it with a tenderizing mallet. Bread it in a flour and seasoning mixture like you would fried chicken and fry.

[@Lina_unchained]

I was gonna say its the steak version of a chicken cutlet lol

[@Bacopa68]

Country fried / Chicken fried steak is basically schnitzel. It's more like the real schnitzel than any you will get in Germany these days. This dish was developed by German immigrants to Texas and later spread to much of the South. CFS makes the leanest cuts from the leanest cattle into something delicious.

[@BigOleMatty]

Biscuits are not scones, and there are a lot of different types of gravy, this particular one is generally used for biscuits and is a white gravy made with sausage. yes chicken fried steak is beef, usually a inexpensive cut of beef that the butcher tenderizes (usually called cubed steak). It is seasoned, floured and fried.

I have been a Southerner my whole life and those who came before me:) Biscuits and gravy are a staple on a Southern breakfast table. Not just that though. You will have eggs, bacon or sausage, pancakes, jam, fried potatoes, or hashbrowns along with biscuits and gravy. Yes, at one meal! If you ask old ones or older like myself our parents had to work in the cotton fields and needed a huge breakfast for backbreaking work. It has carried on to eat like this whether you work hard or not. Calories....wow! Don't ask, just eat lol.#10

Biscuits and scones are very different. Much flakier and fluffier (much higher butter content and different ingredients.)

It is very common all over the US.

For those wondering southern sweet tea is made with black tea boiled and mixed with sugar before being left in the fridge to chill overnight.

[@faureamour]

Watching these videos always makes me wonder if British people would freak out watching sweet tea being made. Growing up, we had a big pot that was used for cooking either greens or sweet tea. We'd fill it with water, boil it, then throw in 10-12 tea bags. Then tons of sugar gets dissolved in before you pour it in a pitcher to chill in the fridge.

[@johnhelwig8745]

Think of country fried chicken or steak the same as German schnitzel. A schnitzel is a thin slice of meat. The meat is usually thinned by pounding with a meat tenderizer, then breaded before frying. Breaded schnitzel is made using veal, pork, chicken, mutton, beef, or turkey.

[@Deebles_Star]

I've often encountered the terms "country fried" and "chicken fried" being used interchangeably. It's breaded with a similar batter as fried chicken, then deep fried. Many of the midwest state fairs do the same thing with pickles, oreo cookies, ice cream, etc.

[@Cricket2731]

"Country Fried" and "Chicken Fried" involve the same kind of gravy; similar to Bechamel sauce but with ground black pepper instead of nutmeg.

[@faureamour]

The States really like to deep fry things, especially at state fairs in the summer. But just to be clear, the breading differs depending on whether you're doing something savory or sweet. The batter can range from similar to fried chicken coating to pancake batter.

[@SherriLyle80s]

I always thought Country Fried Steak was cubes steak and Chicken Fried Steak was chicken. Idk anymore

[@Ceractucus]

I believe it's more often pan fried, you don't get batter that caramelized without overcooking the steak unless there is contact with the pan, but they do use a lot of oil.

[@seethe42]

@@SherriLyle80s They are both breaded fried cube steak but country fried is brown gravy and chicken fried is white, peppery gravy.

[@karladoesstuff]

Country fried steak uses cubed steak, which is a thin steak run through a tenderizer. It's uniformly thin and has a sort of checkered texture. That's then breaded and fried. It's very common in the South, usually served with mashed potatoes and cream gravy.

[@Bacopa68]

And cream gravy is actually bechamel sauce derived from French cuisine. Food traditions of the South are mostly English, but there is a big input from France, Germany, and West Africa.

[@memyselfi7292]

The gravy is pork breakfast sausage scrambled in a frying pan, and you add milk and then flour to thicken. Then, it served over biscuits seasoned with salt and pepper.

NO, ITS NOT DEEP FRIED! A chicken fried steak is basically a breaded/seasoned cube steak which is pan fried like fried chicken. Hence the name. You then top it off with a country gravy which is different from the sausage or sawmill gravy which is used for biscuits & gravy.

[@startrekiborg]

As a man that grew up in the northern United States (New York), when I moved south (Arkansas), EVERYONE was eating biscuits and gravy. I had heard about it, but never had it. I was very nervous about trying it because I new I was probably going to like it and it looks like a heart attack on a plate. I was right. I love it and I’m now hooked. 10 out of 10

[@Bacopa68]

Have you tried okra and tomatoes? The risk here is not to the heart, but the large intestine. If you ate okra as a kid, you will be ok. If you just eat small amounts of okra as an adult you'll be OK. But gorge on okra because it's so delicious when well prepared, it's coming out the other end pretty fast.

[@startrekiborg]

@@Bacopa68 yes, I’ve had both fried okra and fried green tomatoes. I didn’t care for the fried tomatoes and only had it the one time. I do eat fried okra sometimes, since it’s usually offered as a side in most southern restaurants, but It’s not my favorite. My wife loves it and has it often.

[@sarahireland7727]

The country fried steak is actually a piece of beef sirloin that is tenderized with a meat mallet (like a hammer that has prongs) until it is thin. It's then dipped in flour, then in beaten egg then into a mixture of flour and spices. Then it's fried in a cast iron skillet with oil or melted shortening until its golden brown. Very good with mashed potatoes and gravy.

[@radicalnomad1]

Biscuits and gravy is simple but super super good. 30/10

[@Ceractucus]

Biscuits and gravy is incredible and if you have milk, flour butter, baking powder, salt and pepper you can make it VERY easily. It's better with whole buttermilk, but still outstanding either way. For the Sausage (aka Cream aka Country) gravy all you need is 2TBSP flour, 2 TBSP Butter, and two cups whole milk. (Or 1.5 cups milk and .5 cups cream if you want to spoil yourselves). Melt the butter then add the flour and stir until thoroughly combined. Add the milk and stir frequently until it thickens, then serve over hot biscuits. If you are going to add sausage, do so before your final seasoning because there is a ton of spice in sausage. Country fried steak and Chicken fried steak both use steak and chicken breading. They can be deep fried but pan frying is much more common and superior (more caramelization of the coating). The only difference is that country fried steak has normal (brown) gravy and chicken fried steak uses cream gravy. Don't drink tea with biscuits and gravy. The dish is very strongly flavored and rich and the subtle flavor of tea will be lost in it. The difference between American biscuits and scones: aside from the fact that one is made for sweeter applications they are also different in ingredients. American biscuits often use buttermilk, while scones are made with milk and eggs.

The ones who did their own thinking showed how much they liked it immediately.

Biscuits and gravy is the ultimate comfort food. Country fried sometimes called chicken fried steak is also amazingly good. The breading is not as crunchy as fried chicken but has lots of flavor and the steak should almost melt in your mouth.

[@chrisb2535]

Yeah, I kinda use the 2 names interchangeably. Although, some would argue that brown gravy makes it "country fried", and white gravy makes it "chicken fried". BTW, Hardees used to have a steak biscuit, and it was Country Fried Steak (peppery, no gravy), and it was AWESOME!

[@ajrocks44]

The difference in the gravy is just the amount of flour that is used versus a traditional brown gravy. That's because the sausage has all the flavor you need. So it will typically be thicker and more white than its counterparts. Traditional brown gravys the flavor has to come from the stock so you use a lot less flour.

[@Heiryuu]

And milk. The main ingredients are oil, flour, and milk. It’s based on a beschemel sauce

Biscuits and gravy are great! I like to instead of putting gravy on a biscuit, I dip a sausage biscuit in gravy. mostly because I hate soggy bread if any kind. Biscuits taste nothing like scones, they're more savory-no sugar in the recipe- and very soft & fluffy. They really are like a hug. Chicken fried steak or country fried steak (depends on what part of the US you're in) is an extremely tenderized piece if beef, coated in egg wash & flour & fried. Best served with white gravy, which is made with milk instead of water.

[@ratlips4363]

There are so many gravies in the US that when you order you have to ask what kind of gravy is it? Is it a roux based (butter & flour cooked), or a pan-based drippings from cooking a meat, or is it a red eyed gravy from the ham and....coffee (yes, coffee). And that is just touching the tip of the iceberg.

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

The biscuits are buttery, the gravy is sausage gravy which has American style breakfast sausage crumbled in it as well as being made with the sausage grease. There’s no cheese. Though you could make a cheese sauce instead like for macaroni. The other dishes were ‘fancy’ interpretations of breakfast sandwiches. Chicken fried/country fried steak isn’t really deep fried. It’s a cheap cut of steak, pounded thin to tenderize it, then breaded and pan fried _like chicken_ and served with white gravy which is just seasoned with salt and pepper rather than having sausage. Breakfast sandwiches are pretty common just usually simpler and without gravy. Even most fast food places will have chicken biscuits or sausage biscuits, maybe even steak biscuits on their breakfast menu. Ham biscuits are a common country breakfast sandwich.

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

Tender and flaky are common descriptions of biscuits. 👍 The three most common ways to eat biscuits: with butter and/or with something sweet such as honey or jam, as breakfast sandwiches with meat and/or eggs, or split open and topped with sausage gravy.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Good guess from Millie. Chicken Fried Steak is Top Sirloin (or occasionally Top Round). But not normal Top Sirloin/Round. It's pounded with a textured wooden mallet in a process called Cubing, (so the end result is called Cube Steak). The meat is far more tender than usual for those cuts.

[@Bacopa68]

Well, you really need the cheapest and leanest beef you can find. Middle round steak is the best, but any lean grass fed beef or a "retired" dairy cow will also work. You want the leanest and "worst" beef possible. You then need to pound the crap out of it with a METAL meat hammer, pounding it as thin as you can. You then put the pounded beef bits into a mix of flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne powder, dip them into a milk and egg batter, and then back into the flour mix. Fry the beef as hot as you can in cast iron cookware you inherited. Make Cream Gravy in the skillet after you are done.

Chicken (country) fried steak is made with cheaper cuts of beef than ribeyes, t-bones, or filets. I make mine with sirloin but we generally use beef we have to tenderise with a meat mallet. It can also be bought from the store as pretendersied cube steak at least here in Texas. It's put into an egg wash, put into flour, then either deep or pan fried. It's coated in the same manner as fried chicken so it's name became chicken fried steak. It's the state dish of Oklahoma. It's extremely common all over the USA but best in Texas.

[@BTinSF]

You're right but if I were making it at home I'd probably use trimmed NY Strip steak. It can only be better using a naturally tender cut.

You are absolutely right about KFC Chicken. Country fried steak is steak fried the same way you would fry chicken. The gravy for biscuits and gravy is usually white gravy (made with the drippings in the pan mixed with flour and milk). It usually contains sausage for breakfast, but when used on country fried steak has the drippings from frying the steak.

I once travelled around Europe eating nothing but fried breaded veal cutlet. In every country they have it but by a different name. In Italy it's "Vitello Milanese". In Germany and Austria it's Wiener Schnitzel of course. In France, it's escalope de veau panée. But they all have the same dish by another name. Your Cuban restaurants are just adapting the recipe to a different meat (veal is harder and harder to get in the US and more expensive plus some people are just turned off by the idea of it). Obviously, fried chicken breast cutlets are also the same thing.

[@chrisb2535]

Yeah, it's Milanesa, and some Mexican restaurants serve it, too. It really just refers to the thin breaded and fried beef cutlet. It's pretty common to serve sandwiches (tortas) with it. It's kinda like a German Schnitzel.

For chicken fried steak, imagine a very thin slice of steak that you pound (tenderize) until it's nearly falling apart. Then you season it and dredge it and in flour and so on.

The gravy in biscuits and gravy is like a béchamel white sauce with crumbled cooked sausage (pork, usually) stirred in and allowed to simmer.

Biscuits and gravy is easily a 10/10 and not an acquired taste at all. It's considered proper soul food which is delicious to everyone.

[@catherinelw9365]

Yeah, not sure how they think it's an "acquired taste". Hardly.

So here's my issue with foreigners trying biscuits and gravy. The problem is that if you are going to try it, you either need to have it at a LOCAL American restaurant (not a chain) that's known for their good biscuits and gravy, or made by an actual American who knows what the hell they're doing. So many brits come to America and get biscuits and gravy at McDonald's or Bojangles or something and it's bad and then they're like "Americans are nuts, biscuits and gravy is terrible". And it's like yeah. You're probably eating gravy that came out of a plastic bag and kept barely warm in a steamer tray for four hours.

Biscuits and gravy ❤ 100 out of 10😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

White gravy is sautéed breakfast pork sausage, "pork, sage, red pepper flakes and salt". Flour cooked to tan in the sausage fat, then thinned with milk. American biscuits are rich and flaky and fluffy and buttery, they are just as good with a gravy or soup as they are with sweet spreads. I like preserved figs or honey and bacon or sausage on mine.

I love biscuits and gravy but prefer white gravy with sausage.

Chicken Fried Steak uses cube steak, which is pounded thin, battered in fried chicken batter, and then fried in oil. They're usually just fried in a small amount of oil on the stove, but people like to deep fry them as well. The steak is very tender from being pounded thin. Yumm!

Biscuits and gravy is one of those dishes that can be the best thing ever, or not, depending on who cooked it. It's always been a good way to make a little bit of sausage meat feed an entire family. I like making mine in a cast iron skillet, with a good dash of freshly ground black pepper.

Yes, the whole point of southern food is to extend meat flavor into non-meat things. The good meat must be sold to feed the elites so you have cash to survive. You make the best of what you have left by grinding scraps into heavily spiced sausage. And you really should eat this with tabasco vinegar or a fermented cayenne sauce.

I made chicken fried steak and country gravy just last week here in the PNW, USA. The steak is called cube steak in the grocery store and is a cheaper cut of meat that is tenderized with a tool that cuts vertical cuts in it and pounded to 1/4 on an inch. The thick gravy is made from the drippings left in the pan after frying the meat and adding milk and flour. Wonderful if prepared correctly.

Biscuits and gravy is my favorite breakfast of all time, flaky golden biscuits with some butter on them split them open and poor sausage gravy all over the top and gorge yourself until you cant move!
