It's true, the "biscuits and gravy" biscuits are closer to scones than what a Brit would think of as a biscuit.
Also, biscuits and gravy, wtf
What's wrong with biscuits and gravy?
Biscuits with sausage gravy doused in hot sauce and a couple fried eggs make a great breakfast
In this case I prefer fresh cracked black pepper to hot sauce. No other notes.
That fresh black pepper makes biscuits and sausage gravy killer!
Oh of course, I load up the gravy with more pepper than most folks like
do the brits not have bread?
That's pretty much what a biscuit is here. Also what do you mean wtf biscuits and gravy slaps.
I may lose my Yank card for this, but I'm not a fan myself. That said, it's just scones and bechamel sauce. Hearty, meaty, salty and what you can do with the rendered fat from greasy breakfast sausage*. It's basically hangover food that caught on.
(* There's a subset of traditional American food that stems from doing a lot with very little, while having a complete disregard for cholesterol and calorie intake. Assuming that wheat and dairy are the cheapest things in your pantry, you get stuff like this. See "scrapple" for another example.)
