Those poor, starving creatures.

No wonder they’re often so cranky.

Looks like the “Fat Broad” has that for three meals a day

From Georgia: Biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, steak, ham, etc.

Love biscuits and gravy….not only will it stick with you all day, you can feel your arteries clogging beginning with the first bite!

Really good breakfast!

Northerners don’t know how to make it right.

yankee land “fat pills”= doughnutsoutherners “fat pills” = biscuits and sausage gravy

Classic SOS is made with chipped dried beef, and it is horrible. But make it with lean ground beef, onions, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, a little garlic powder, salt and pepper and serve it on toast with a couple of fried eggs and it is the Breakfast of Champions.

Back in the day long ago I was in charge of morning breakfast at a correctional center in a northern state. Didn’t matter to those prisoners what state they came from in the North or South because every one of them made sure they were at the door every Monday for their breakfast of biscuits and gravy. Every tray passed out and clean upon return.

Spot on.

Or as a cardiologist would say- “A down payment on the summer home by the coast…”.

With Bacon, you make the Gravy with the Bacon grease.

And eggs to complete the meal.

Bacon, Eggs, Biscuits&Gravy; there is no better breakfast.

I am a Southern transplant and one of the first things I learned was that folks in the South take their biscuits very seriously with their gravy following close behind and to tell the truth I am eternally grateful.

In the military, substitute toast for biscuits and ground beef for the sausage.

Dinner.

S#%#* on a Shingle.

Here in California, there are many wonderful things, but biscuits are not one of them. They think something with the consistency of a Hockey Puck is a biscuit.

Bruce 1253 notwithstanding, in my area of SoCal, I don’t know an independent breakfast house that doesn’t serve biscuits and gravy, and, to my taste, they are often without backbone: hockey puck? no, but give me chewy over fluffy any day…

Ummmmm biscuits and gravy. I’m from the Great White North and feeling really hungry right now.

YES!!!!!!!!

Breakfast is the best and gravy on biscuits is one small part of it. One thing better than thick gravy on biscuits with all the meat and trimmings is red-eye gravy. It’s a bit thin to pour over biscuits, but I pour it in my grits and dip my ham (or livermush) and egg biscuits in it. It’s the best food in the world by far and I’ve been in most places in the world to taste for myself.

My favorites, BTW: The various masalas in southern India, arepa Cabimera in Venezuela, fresh boiled crawfish on the bayou with all the fixin’s, doner shawarma in London, and good old southern barbecue: both the hickory smoked pork of North Carolina as well as the mesquite briskets of Texas.

Had my biscuits and gravy today. I got them from Hardee’s which for a fast food chain is pretty good. Best fast food chain biscuits. Believe it or not even McD’s in this area can make a decent biscuit and gravy. Forget BK it gives all fast food chains a bad rep in the biscuit and gravy line.

Okay, folks. Let’s not be so regional. I live in the North, where biscuits and gravy is a perfectly acceptable breakfast meal. Practically every restaurant has it on the menu.

On my first visit to relatives in the south the strangest thing to me was the consumption of Pepsi at breakfast.

I’ll stick to Spam and eggs with possibly a slice of wheat toast…

If anyone ever asked for my recipe for B&G, I wouldn’t have the first idea how much of each ingredient to add. But somehow, it always comes out perfect.

In UK Biscuit & Gravy would be rather strange – as it would mean cookies covered in brown gravy

Even Mickey D’s serves ’em in the South!

Just had that the other day, don’t forget to have eggs with it too.

Yes, they’re strange but otherwise okay

Couldn’t find Royal Crown Cola?

On Monday we have bread and gravy

That’s only gravy on bread

On Saturday it’s whole wheat instead

Sunday’s a treat ‘coz we can’t wait to eat

We have gravy without any bread

Tried grits once…enough!!

I think the American Civil War was unnecessary. Given the Southern diet, they would have all died of heart attacks.

“In the north a yearly traditional meal.”Not in the part of the midwest where I grew up (Dakotas). Are they talking about Thanksgiving? I don’t think I’ve ever had it.

I had biscuits and gravy for breakfast once in 1963. They’re still with me.

And darn proud of it!

And yet we live.

Maybe not long but, like Robert Duvall and Michael Caine (and he didn’t even have to be Southern) in Secondhand Lions, we LIVE

Filling, aren’t they?

Good stuff.

Many approach them thinking cream of wheat and are unhappy when they aren’t cream of wheat.

(My niece had a similar experience when she popped a cherry tomato into her mouth thinking cherry.)

My oldest sister’s mother-in-law was old-school So. Carolinian., and her breakfast’s to me looked like a full-blown Thanksgiving spread!

Not sure what part of the North he’s referring to. I was born and raised in Michigan and I know plenty of people who love biscuits and gravy. I think it’s more of a “people who know what’s good” versus “people who don’t know what they’re missing” thing.
