AbielleRose Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 13 grapes, I dare you. Huge hotel breakfast Rasin brand cereal, biscuits and gravy, sausage, cheese eggs and a banana (with coffee). I'm never eating again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I am not eating 13 grapes. I will eat 12. That fits your original criteria, and my OCDness. Biscuits and gravy???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I had a bad experience with biscuits and gravy in college Abby and Noll, and I've been scared straight ever since . I'm at my desk, drinking coffee and munching on a very naughty cheese danish. Seriously, I'm going to have a long talk with myself right after I finish eating it. Luckily it's just a pay-day treat!

chesilbeach Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I think we Europeans needs some education here - what we know of as biscuits are similar to what Americans call cookies, so please can someone tell us what the biscuit actually is in the US? I know I always imagine something like a chocolate chip cookie covered in gravy (which over here is a sauce for meat, made from the cooking juices from the meat mixed with flour, water or wine, and simmered until the flour has cooked and the sauce thickened). Please help us and explain what biscuits and gravy are in the US so we're not completely grossed out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help us and explain what biscuits and gravy are in the US so we're not completely grossed out! Correct me if I'm wrong any of my fellow Americans, but what we call biscuits over here are strictly savory. I'm not sure what I would compare it to as far as English food goes, but they are basically dense pastries made with flour, eggs, lots of butter, and buttermilk sometimes plus a couple other things. I was going to say they resemble a hockey puck but you probably don't know what that is! They are usually round and about 1 or 2 inches thick, and heavenly served warm with butter. It's popular to serve them with the same thing you call gravy, usually with bits of sausage mixed in. Very rich and not had by me in over 15 years!

AbielleRose Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Sorry Chesil! Here biscuits are only savoury. What I had today was sort of like what you would get from a pancake batter, very fluffy and light with buttermilk. The gravy is a white country style gravy, creamy and salty, with chunks of sausage and pepper. Its a southern breakfast dish here. Very tasty.
