British Highschoolers Try Biscuits and Gravy for the First Time!

[@jolly]

Recently we went to the South in the US and had our eyes opened to a bunch of amazing new foods, but there was one thing that we really wanted to introduce to people back home! So we got the help of a London-based cook from the South, and brought authentic Biscuits and Gravy to a British High School!

[@Edits_Official_2.0]

Great video

[@aubreezily13]

As a Texan, I appreciate the fact that no matter where you go, you choose to seek the authentic food experience that locals would offer. It is so rare when youtubers actually put in the effort to do the research and not just make assumptions. Love y'all so much, Jolly!

We do eat our biscuits with jam too. YOu can have a biscuit chicken sandwich wth jam/jelly for breakfast. It's not just biscuits and gravy. Additionally, ice tea with lemon and honey is a southern drink that is also nice.

I've lived here in the UK for a few years, and let me tell you, these people are adorably obsessed with their beans on toast. It's actually what we would call "pork and beans" out of a can. And the grocery stores have a huge selection of canned beans for just that purpose. I have tried it, but I am sorry to say, I am NOT impressed.

As an American, I can not wrap my mind around beans on toast. Sounds really bad.

[@KS-ge5eg]

I am a Southern American. Some years ago I met a British man online who was horrified at the idea of putting gravy on biscuits when I mentioned it. I tried to explain what American biscuits and sausage gravy are but he was still skeptical. I promised to make it for him if we ever met in person, and long story short I eventually did just that. Now, we've been married for almost ten years. I'm sure he married me for the biscuits and gravy.

[@typerexc]

Bet it was more than that. You showed conviction, and prevailed against skepticism. Truth wins out. :)

[@djg5950]

Awesome. When an American can convince a skeptical Brit to try something that sounds so unappealing as sausage gravy (aka chopped up ferret) and biscuits and they find that it tastes better than it looks they can't do anything but ask you to marry them, LOL ! I'm not a Southerner but do like gravy and biscuits. Although, I prefer chicken fried chicken w/gravy or make my own version of SOS using white gravy and chicken on toast. Never cared for the taste of chipped beef (we had that growing up as kids). Too salty so I substituted leftover cooked chicken.

Believe it or not, but there are a lot of Americans who've never eaten biscuits and gravy. Biscuits and cream or sausage gravy is usually from the South or the southern US. It was a poor person's food, like grits, made with leftovers or the bits of meat, seasonings, and oil left stuck to the bottom of the fry pan that you have to scrape off, but which tastes fantastic because the seasonings are baked in and there are crispy pieces. Then you add cream and flour and salt and pepper to make the gravy, pour it over biscuits or toast, and Voila! You have a quick meal, which is now mostly eaten for breakfast. It's very flavorful. My Mother, who is from Mississippi, made it all the time, especially after she fried a bunch of sausages for breakfast. She'd also make the cream gravy with crumbled-up pieces of sausage init, and then you pull the biscuits into halves, place a piece of (round) sausage on top of each half and pour the cream or sausage gravy a top of if.

[@Jayel805]

The confusion about the nomenclature for American biscuits comes from the dish’s history. Biscuits are a modernized version of hard tack, which people in the American frontier called “biscuits.” They called it that because (like an English biscuit and biscotti) hard tack is baked twice. American frontier people’s used this as a method to preserve it. One would typically make a large quantity of biscuits/hard tack and then soften it with a liquid or sauce when ready to eat. This method of preserving and preparing biscuits/hard tack is what developed into the dish Biscuits and Gravy.

[@dimebag667]

Yeah. My normal experience with chicken strips is toast, with a cup of white gravy for dipping. But sometimes it can come with a biscuit... Like Popeyes.

[@theganjacologist2819]

You ain't had chicken fried steak and gravy?? Ahh lawd have mercy you gotta try it.

As an American from Georgia, it’s nice to hear them enjoy a nice cold sweet tea, and not complain about it being too sweet😂

[@BluDvl21]

Agree. Imo publix and cfa is some of the best sweet tea

[@3DJapan]

Yes I've heard Brits says sweet tea is too sweet before.

[@powbobs]

Many Americans also think it’s too sweet.

[@arianamarkus5041]

​@@powbobs I am one of those people 😂 I can't drink sweet or flavored tea, only unsweetened black tea (or oolong, sometimes green tea is okay). I have a sweet tooth, but tea is not something I enjoy sweetened.

[@jennpenn5]

I’m Texan and I hate sweet tea. I’m in the minority, obviously, but I don’t like it at all.

[@BallroomDancer7]

As someone born and raised in Alabama, I appreciate these kids giving our food a try. Biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, and sweet tea is about as southern as you get 😂

Grits or fried okra are the only things they could've added to make it even more southern, although those probably wouldn't be as appetizing to British high schoolers

[@darlenelipuma7769]

I'm up north and LOVE biscuits and gravy and fried chicken. We get it up here too. But I thoroughly dislike sweet tea.

[@northeternal5227]

I am an American and I have put baked beans on a hot dog roll many times. Toasted hot dog rolls. Yes, beans on toast works! It is delicious!

[@fmita_]

As an American, it is pretty common to pretty jam on a biscuit as you would with a scone. I love biscuits with jam but my favorite is a freshly baked biscuit with some honey. The buttery biscuit and the sweetness from the honey are an insane combo

[@fudgicle1427]

Right. Really the only use for biscuits is biscuits & gravy or biscuits with butter and jam. They're right that we don't eat them plain. Too dry.

[@grarycat1984]

Try some fig jam/ preserves on a fresh buttermilk biscuit....yummy

[@SalamiCellar]

Honey on biscuits is life

[@lizzyrank5405]

@Fudgicle no no no, they those aren't biscuits. A true biscuits you can eat by itself, trust me😁. Jokes aside if the biscuits are too dry ill add something. Sometimes I don't but man you can't go wrong with honey butter🤤

[@susanbrandon4103]

I smiled through this entire video. As a southern mom, biscuits and gravy is one of my go to comfort foods and it's even better when we're out camping! If you want to try something interesting, try waffles and fried chicken. You can serve with maple syrup or sausage gravy!! What you called "Southern Tea" is actually 'sweet tea" and adding sugar to a glass of ice tea does not make it sweet tea. There's a craft to making sweet tea!! So glad the boys all enjoyed it!!

[@bradleyheck7204]

Putting the sugar in when the tea is still hot to disolve it is the key step.

[@Iampatrix]

my gramps from Texas taught me how to make sweet tea when I was a kid and had to live with my grandparents for a year and I still remember it. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and turn off the heat and steep 4 lipton tea bags for 10 minutes. Remove tea bags and bring back to a boil, turn off heat and stir in 2-3 cups of sugar until completely dissolved basically creating a tea syrup. While still very hot poor over a pitcher full of ice and stir quickly and then add filtered water until the pitcher is full and refrigerate. He was tired of making it himself so it became my job to make it for him every couple days, i didn't mind though since he was awesome. Also he made the best fried pork shoulder steaks with white gravy, easily one of my favorite meals.

[@kyracross4041]

@@Iampatrix For a 51 year old southern girl, I’m the world’s WORST sweet tea maker!!! I screenshot your directions and I’ll sure think of your grandad when hopefully I finally get it right!!! 😂

Hey Susan, I live in the US but I don't think I ever had a good biscuit and gravy. Would you have a recipe you could share?

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

it literally tastes exactly the same lol as someone who grew up in the south you just add more sugar XD that's the problem. now sun aged tea thats different it does taste different

I’m not surprised British might like sausage gravy as it has ingredients that British LOVE. 😊😊😊

[@Squish_Squash]

As a US Southerner, I was laughing so hard when the boys saw the gravy for the first time like yeah, some of the food down here doesn't look that appetizing but then you try it and it's very good. I'm very happy they enjoyed the biscuits and gravy though because it's one of the staple foods I grew up with and I hold them pretty dear in my heart

[@Jamespetersenwa]

Biscuits and Gravy are one of those rare dishes that are distinctly American. Most stuff has some sort of story about how it's not really from here, but we adopted it. Biscuits and Gravy is pure America only though. And even though it's from the South, you can find it ANYWHERE in the United States. I've ordered Biscuits and Gravy in Fairbanks, AK ffs.

[@demonkingbadger6689]

Best i have ever figured it is, the more like cat vomit looks the better. I dont understand how that works, i just go with it.

[@Jamespetersenwa]

@@demonkingbadger6689 Yeah, their comments about vomit are shared with the entire American population BUT once you try it, it's really hard to forget. It's...je ne sais quoi, but the quoi is SOOOOOO good.
