It's actually not lumpy, it's bits of sausage in the gravey, gives it a ton of flavor 😋

[@momentary_]

Right. There's no lumps of gravy in it. The bits are just sausage.

[@Nukeaon]

If the person preparing the gravy does it correctly then no, its just sausages that make it look lumpy...

[@Wiley_Coyote]

It's lumps of awesome awesome MEAT, not flour. 😄

[@Ryan-xu9zb]

And we also have gravy in the sense they think of, something where you would put on top of carved turkey etc. And then you have sausage gravy, more predominantly a southern cuisine. We have the best of all worlds!

[@zillatattoo]

shit has a flavor.

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

You're supposed to split the Biscuits in half before you pour the Gravy over them. It's easier to cut down thru the exposed fluffy part than the outer crusty part. And it allows the Gravy to soak into the biscuit.

[@busterkeaton1041]

That bothered me too, I've never seen anyone pour gravy over a whole biscuit.

[@jchen3]

Yeah, I am shocked this is the only comment I've seen to mention this.

[@kevinerose]

Yes, so true. The gravy holds on to this biscuit better that way.

[@midnamagic2678]

When I’ve gotten it at family diners they put it over the biscuits as is. I’ll have to try it this way

[@WestTXRedneck1972]

As a True Southerner, I grew up eating Biscuits and Gravy. Now a lot of times you can have the biscuits with either butter, honey, or jelly/jam without the gravy or sometimes with. Now also most folks will add a lot of salt and pepper to the gravy. My favorite thing to do with biscuits, other than this, is to have Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuits.

[@civilwarguy4740]

Yeah it bothered me when the guy in the video said that you would never have biscuits without gravy

[@wjm1319]

Best is with softened butter stirred together with a nice strong raw honey, then smeared on the biscuit. But then, yes, a meat, egg & cheese biscuit is great - though I prefer bacon. Or even steak (thin philly-steak style) with the egg & cheese.

[@curlywhites]

Is a "True" Southerner different than these other commenters saying they are Southerners?

[@grumblesa10]

YES. We used to make those up before going hunting. Eat one before you go, then the other one-or 2, about mid morning.

Every single other person living in the south who has a mother would probably beg to differ 😁

[@NickInSanDiego]

You MUST try biscuits and gravy sometime. Here in the states we’ll usually call it country gravy, as in made in the countryside. Soooo good. We also do have gravy like the UK, usually to go with a pork or beef roast. Besides Country gravy, biscuits are also excellent with butter and jam, or butter and honey!

[@TexasRose50]

Biscuits are also good with a fried egg, sausage patty and a slice of cheese in it.

[@PoetTree]

You can make bacon gravy the same way you make sausage gravy. Both are it! Now, have you ever tried boiled peanuts?

[@ravenspawn8982]

Country gravy is actually a seperate thing from white/sausage gravy... usually made like white gravy but add in the grease from a protein like bacon, pork, or beef.

[@HermanVonPetri]

Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes with cream gravy, buttered cornbread, black eyed peas, coleslaw, potato salad, green bean casserole, grits...

[@BTinSF]

I was wondering about the tea, though. Was it real southern "sweet tea" which would be startlingly sweet to someone who's never had it and the kids didn't react as I might have expected them to at that. Also, did it have any lemon in it? I grew up with iced tea and lived in NC and FL for many years drinking southern tea and I've got to have lemon in mine. Also my experience is lemon is almost always on offer even for people who don't want to use it.

[@donrichter3523]

Really? Since when did kids not prefer sugary sweet?

[@BTinSF]

@@donrichter3523 In this case, since British people started teaching their kids to drink tea unsweetened.

[@AlexA-zk6cp]

I’m from the South and at least where I live, we don’t usually have chicken with biscuits and sausage gravy together. Usually the biscuits and gravy are breakfast items but you can also do chicken biscuits as well. Yes, Southern sweet tea can be really sweet if you’re not used to it.

[@FirstOfTheMagi]

Yea a lot of places try to make tea flavored syrup lol

[@WestTXRedneck1972]

Depending on what area of the South you're in. I know a lot of places that will add a brick and a half of Dixie Sugar to make a simple syrup and then add the tea in. Pretty much Diabetes in a glass. I have to do half and half ( half sweet and half unsweet).

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

Yeah, in a lot of places now you would have to mix their sweet and unsweet to get something tolerable.

[@luelladiaz109]

I cannot drink sweet tea of any type so in South will forgo tea. 😢

I’ve never been put off by the idea of beans and toast. But, once you’ve had biscuits and gravy, you’re kind of hooked.

Biscuits and gravy is among my favorite foods. It's VERY heavy though so be careful about how much you make because it will stick to your insides and make you want to go to sleep after you eat it.

Chicken fried steak and white gravy is also a popular southern dish. Also try a breakfast of eggs, bacon, ham or sausage with a bowl of hot buttery slightly salty hot grits ! Also with Biscuits, of course ! Love me some hot grits !

I grew up on what I learned as an adult was considered Southern food. Beans and rice chicken and dumplings along with biscuits and gravy. Oh and Pimento cheese she made from scratch. It is funny as my mom was 3rd generation Californian and I 4th. My great Grandmother was from Kinderhook New York and they were Rich San Franciscan's, maybe their cook was Southern. We also ate a lot of Native American dishes as Great grandma was Native American but married a Dutch man.

My Dad's mother would make sausage gravy Sunday mornings served over pancakes. My Mom made hamburger gravy about once a week with fried potatoes. In the summer she would make tomato gravy with fried potatoes. We put the gravy on toast and the potatoes.

[@dagmar0027]

American biscuits are very easy to make, & there are a bunch of recipes online for them. It has very similar ingredients to American breakfast pancakes, actually. The sausage gravy might be a bit harder to make, since we have uncooked ground pork sausage available in grocery stores, and I don't think the UK does. I've heard of some taking the sausage out of the casings & cooking it up to make the sausage gravy, though.

[@luminousmoon86]

You can easily make homemade US style breakfast sausage, though. And it's what I'd recommend since having the right flavor profile of the sausage is key to trying authentic biscuits and gravy. There are recipes for homemade US breakfast sausage online, but it's basically raw ground pork flavored principally with sage and thyme, along with other spices. You just mix them together and then cook as needed.

[@cbogolo]

[@massmike11]

@@cbogolo ground beer works as well

[@wjm1319]

@@massmike11 Oh, I wouldn't do ground beef for a first taste. Not enough flavor. But any soft-ish sausage will do (as in, not a hard sausage like summer sausage or salami). Just peel the casing off to get the 'ground' sausage from links.

[@RebelCowboysRVs]

Quick an simple southern gravy--- In a glass messuring cup add 50 ml of oil, (bacon or pork sausage grease preferred) one packed tablespoons of flower, an one half teaspoon of ground black pepper, and mix smooth. Then finish filling the cup to the 160 ml mark with milk. Mix again. Microwave 1 minute. Stop it if it starts to boil. It can boil over fast. Mix again an serve with bread sausage or eggs. Just a fork works for all the mixing but I use a milk/cream frother. Not traditional but taste the same as the pan version. With sausage is better both ways but still good without.

[@lisarobertson8485]

Ice Tea comes in many flavors now too, peach, raspberry, lemon and more. I usually add a little almond extract to mine and it's wonderful.

We have traditional brown gravy (and other kinds of gravy), as well. This sausage gravy is essentially a béchamel sauce but using sausage drippings instead of butter. It's made with what we here call breakfast sausage, which is principally flavored with black pepper and sage. Really, it's basically ground pork with those (and sometimes other) flavors.

Who's going to make it to ensure it's made correctly? It's a simple recipe but even people in the U.S. mess it up. Sometimes it takes people a while to master the art of great B&G. Some make it regularly and have yet to master it. Not all B&G is created equally. I've tasted great and some I'd never eat again. :)

[@bgrimlan]

A lot people eat biscuits plain (hot) or with butter or jelly. As for biscuits and gravy, the biscuits are usually cut in half and laid flat so it soaks up the gravy even more. They are soooo good. My family usually eat them on the weekends when we have more time to sit down for breakfast. Beans and Toast is not common here, in fact I have never heard of it. I guess the closest thing we eat to that is chili poured on top of a piece of bread and grated cheese.

[@Marthyboy88]

I've seen a lot of brits recoil at the sight of white sausage gravy, and I definitely get it. Something you can do that might help you be more open to trying it is watch someone make it. It's really nothing intense in terms of weird ingredients, but the flavor is absolutely amazing. I'm telling you now, if you hosted a brunch, and served really good biscuits with sausage gravy, it'd be a hit.

[@unitus]

Biscuits are really versatile with breakfast. You can make a breakfast sandwich and use the biscuit as a bun (and put a sausage patty, cheese, and egg inside), or you can just eat them warm with butter or jelly/jam, or of course with sausage gravy. All delicious.

[@garygemmell3488]

To all those who don't know Iced tea in the South is called Sweet Tea. Namely, because in the South sugar is not added to iced tea, tea is added to sugar. Don't let your kids drink it or they'll be bouncing off the walls for hours. Biscuits literally go with anything. Butter, jam, butter and jam, peanut butter, you can slap a sausage patty inside one and have a breakfast sandwich, same with ham, and you can add a fried egg to the mix. Split one open, warm it up, pour some honey over it. You can use them to sop up extra gravy or stew in the bottom of your bowl. They're round discs of magic.

[@TexasRose50]

They're round discs of magic. Perfect description! 👍

A biscuit with honey and butter is delicious. I’ve never really thought about how many combinations can be made with biscuits but they are rather universal! Lol so many options, especially with breakfast.

[@janedoe1776]

I’m from the Midwest/ plains, US. My dad also grew up in central US, and he was raised on biscuits and sausage gravy. When he was drafted to Viet Nam, the Army version of biscuits and gravy was chipped beef (cheap) in a bechamel on white bread toast (also cheap). Apparently they called it shit on a shingle. So from the time I could form a memory, I remember asking my parents what was for dinner. And my dad would say “shit on a shingle!”. He was always the one that made it. It was almost like “his” recipe. He doesn’t make it as much anymore, but when he does it’s always a treat.

[@spinalobifida]

The lumpiness is pieces of minced sausage blended in. I'll have to look up what kind of gravy you're used to. If I was in England and I asked for iced tea, they'd look at me like I had a third eye.

[@badladyami]

The base is called sawmill gravy, due to its popularity among loggers in the nineteenth century. It's best when built from a roux where you use both butter and the rendered off sausage grease as the fat.

Jelly,Jam or honey also go great with biscuits even maple syrup on a open faced buttered biscuit

[@Do0msday]

The best thing about this is that everyone has their own family recipe for gravy that makes it both the same, but also a tad different from others. Just the slightest variation that makes it stand out to you. The presentation is definitely a little off putting for some, but the taste is up there. I hope you're able to try it some time because it really is delicious. They even had a Lays potato chip flavored version of it that was pretty decent (obviously nothing like the real thing, but decent in terms of flavored chips). I loved seeing those kids be all skeptical and then their eyes all lit up because it really is delicious.

[@willwatson4040]

I've watched a bunch of videos of Brits trying American biscuits and gravy. One thing that I've picked up on, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, is that in England there only seems to be 1, maybe 2, types of gravy. In the US we have LOTS of different types/flavors of gravy. It's as if we really embraced the idea of gravy and tried to make gravy out of many things. Sausage gravy is just one of them and it is primarily, but not exclusively, a breakfast gravy.

This is funny because when I see beans on toast I always feel like it's a meme and not something people genuinely enjoy so fair enough lmao

[@GrumpyOldBastard]

May I give you this advice as one who has enjoyed sausage gravy and biscuits for close to 8 decades. When selecting a sausage mince as you would call it make sure to use a brand that you like, you can even take sausages that you would use for bangers and mash remove the mince from the casing and use that. As for the gravy 2 table spoons fat (sausage drippings, butter, oil or even lard) + 2 table spoons lard used to create a roux and then add 2 cups whole milk. As for the most basic southern home made bisucit you need self-rising flour, buttermilk and butter generally 2 cups flour, 1 cup butter milk, 1 stick of ice cold butter cut into the flour prior to adding the buttermilk. You can add a pinch of salt or dash of sugar or both your choice. Once the dough has formed place it on a well floured surface and pat out do not roll it out, fold over into thirds and repeat the process but again be gentle the object is to create layers without making a tough biscuit. Using a glass or cup to cut out biscuits rounds place on a oiled baking sheet about 1 inch apart and then brush with an egg wash or milk wash place in a 400 degree aka 204 cel oven for approximately 14 minutes and enjoy. This should result in flaky layers and a tender biscuit. Hope this helps and that you enjoy.

[@scottedwards8895]

The thing about southern sweet tea is you sweeten it to the flavor that you like when you find the sweetness you like and there's your tea

[@garyi.1360]

Biscuits and gravy is awesome. There's a whole food culture around it. Biscuits and gravy for breakfast is great.If you don't like the sweetness there's unsweetened iced tea. I prefer the unsweetened. In the southwest we make sun tea which also has a richness without any sweetening.

In the states, "gravy" does fundamentally refer to the same thin, brown, highly seasoned stuff you're used to seeing. However, we also attach the name "gravy" to a lot of other meat based sauces, this classic sausage/sawmill gravy being one of them. Also, despite the appearance, those aren't scones. Biscuits are a quickbread similar to scones, however they tend to be more savory and, as one kid put it, fluffier than scones. I will say though that sweet tea is a bit too sweet for my tooth, though.

[@MaxAmiga]

My dad used to love grape jelly on biscuits. Cake with sauce is a sweet treat here in the US. My mom used to make it.

[@chris...9497]

Gravy is a seasoned sauce that is usually meat-based and thickened with flour or cornstarch. (The one exception is mushroom gravy, which can be vegetarian.) The meat contribution to gravy is au jus and/or stock/broth and/or fat from meat sources. These meat sources provide flavoring plus the fat necessary to create the roux that thickens the gravy. In America, we have a wide variety of gravy types, including milk/cream gravies and beef/poultry/venison gravies. We even have some flavored with espresso/coffee, chocolate, and beer. As for our biscuits, biscuits & gravy is always served with the biscuits halved like scones, laid on the plate with their fluffy interiors facing upward, and the sausage gravy poured over the biscuits so the fluffy interiors can sop up and absorb the gravy. Also, while you CAN purchase biscuit mix as well as sausage or *country gravy in instant packets, the recommendation is to make them from scratch and avoid the commercial mixes. They're easy enough to make from scratch and they will taste a lot better than the commercial mixes. (*Country gravy is very similar to sausage gravy except there is no sausage in it; it's often made of vegetable shortening or butter, flour, chicken broth/stock, milk, salt and pepper.) Note: American biscuits are savory, not sweet; they're a lot closer to being rolls than scones. Also, they are offered as a bread to accompany any meal at any time of day, and they are preferred hot, not cold. If an American gets a cold biscuit, he will most likely heat it up, so he can halve it like a scone and put butter on the fluffy interior to melt. Just like with toast or scones, American biscuits (when not covered in gravy) are often spread with jam, preserves, or honey before being eaten, especially when served with breakfast.

[@tobybostick5570]

When it's done right there is nothing better than biscuit's and gravy!

[@josephsoto9933]

I and most people I know ALWAYS split the biscuit. Just split apart and put it on the plate with the crust-side down. This allows the biscuit to absorb and "hold" the gravy. Otherwise the gravy will just roll off the "crusty" outer surface of the biscuit.....and you wind-up with "scones" floating in a sea of white "magma". The biscuit needs to absorb the gravy....so, split it.

We would play tournaments many weekends and sometimes all meet up to eat breakfast before heading to our first game. I remember the first time when we went to a restaurant that was basically southern cooking. Got the biscuits and gravy and I’ve been hooked every since. So good. One funny thing though….we had like 15 guys there and every one of them ordered iced tea. When it came around to me and I ordered milk I’ll never forgot the looks and reactions I got.

Josh met his wife in Korea while he was going to University there and they also got married in Korea. His wife has her own KZbin channel called Gabie Kook. She does the cooking for Jolly and Korean Englishman channels. Gabrie is a professional chef. They have a whole series for this school. They filmed at this school because of their friendship with the Headmaster of the school.

We don't put gravy in our tea, but we do sometimes put coffee in our gravy.

I have a friend in England I sent some gravy mix to. He made it and liked it but still says it is cat sick on scones. 😂😂

[@denisemarcus5633]

We do buttery Texas Toast with BBQ pork beans and ribs, but not for breakfast...Unless a hangover breakfast. 🤣🤣 UK leaves off the pork and BBQ

[@RE-bg9ds]

Oh and by the way the biscuits are made with buttermilk that's what makes him so fluffy and moist like that delicious

[@SlamFM36]

Nothing better for breakfast than some biscuits and sausage gravy

[@TexasRose50]

I actually prefer bacon in my gravy. But I do make it with sausage too.

[@cranberrylangers3095]

5:20 You can put jam/jelly on biscuits (with or without butter), and that's normal and tastes good!

[@craigrussell5622]

We have a version of beans on toast, it's called SOS (Sh*t on a Shingle). It's Chipped beef in a cream sauce on toast. It works for any meal!

"It wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be." "That means he likes it." LOL

[@trtarts4814]

Im from Wisconsin and Ive loved beans on toast since I was a kid. Not for breakfast though, mostly lunch. Also, beans on buttered bread.. yum

[@KurNorock]

The lumps are the best part. It's bits of sausage. Which is why it is called sausage heavy.

[@quinceykirkland1227]

It's hard to describe, salty, savoury, and buttery is a start...

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Love those kids.

We have and use the same brown gravies that England does, usually for meat and on mashed potatoes. Biscuits and gravy is basically a plain thick béchamel usually with sausage, and often lots of pepper xD

[@chadlynch1551]

Country gravy is usually made with sausage and sausage drippings, although in a pinch you could substitute hamburger. Salt and pepper to taste. My mother and grandmothers also would fry up chopped up potatoes and onions, then pour the gravy over that.

Great video guys! I’ve actually seen the video before but not with you both reacting. Win-win. I’m from the South and I make my grandmother’s biscuits and gravy. It’s really easy to make and it’s wonderful and makes me think of her every time I make it. Here’s a mind blower…breakfast for dinner. Depending upon the kind of day it is I’ll make breakfast foods for dinner and even though it’s a bit odd at first it could quickly become a favorite. Want my grandmother’s recipe? Maybe we could barter and exchange for something of equal value like, I don’t know, a free Patreon pass or something. Kidding , Let me know if you would like the recipe for biscuits and gravy or any other southern style recipes. I have several. Good to see you again.

It's funny, because we have brown gravy in the States (perfect on mashed potatoes). We also eat biscuits with jam - paired with breakfast. And we do eat beans and bread...except it's cornbread and its typically a bbq side dish.

[@magnificentfailure2390]

I grew up in and live in Arizona. I love beans on toast...especially with hot dogs chopped up in it.

[@candlerc]

Here in America we have a few types of gravy. One type of gravy here is just what you would consider gravy. We put different types of gravy on different foods.

[@denisemarcus5633]

Sad part...They didn't even have the buttery flaky layered Biscuit!! With some homemade peach, blackberry or wild plum jelly.
