This is so F'n tasty. Love me some BNG.

As for why Americans change names of stuff, I'm sure at one point they were the same biscuits they just changed over time.

Yes, so fething many times over. Seriously, it may look gross to you lot across the pond, but if you ever venture this way and want some breakfeast, TRUST ME, as a fat guy, these you will definitely tell your friends back home about

What in gods name is That? Looks like a Scone that a Cat's threw up on.

I don't put sugar, fruit or nuts in scones and they are most definitely not glazed so they are pretty much exactly like american biscuits.

Biscuits and sausage gravy. I know I know, it does look bad (and Im sure its not too good for the health but hey this IS America) but Im telling you, its fething amazing food.

White gravy, yes.

It's like a béchamel sauce, with the roux made of meat drippings and flour, with milk or cream added and black pepper and bits of sausage are put in for flavor.

That actually sounds nice, just would take a bit of getting used to visually.

Oh and what is Grits?

Hrm... Could you spice it up a little with some chopped and sautéed chorizo in place of sausage?

That would turn it Red, with the Smoked paprika in the Chorizo.

Reddy-orange, that gloriously colourful and delicious oil is the main reason I use chorizo in anything.

You can achieve the same with Garlic, olive oil and a teaspoon of Smoked Paprika. It tastes the same without the Sausage. SORRY this isn't a cooking forum.....

Back to what are/is Grits? I say it in the US as a Breakfast option?

Grits is made from corn (as far as I know) and are KINNDA like mashed potatoes, but instead of being creamy, its more or a grainy texture. Sometimes people make it with just butter, or other times sugar and such

Eh, I'd rather have the sausage too

Grits are nasty, it's not even proper people food, it's cattle feed.

Okay cheers, looks like Polenta or Semolina.

I wouldnt say its nasty, but I will admit, its definitely not at the top of my "Things I want to eat with breakfast" list

I do like me some polenta...

Polenta is only marginally better than grits because it was cornmeal (instead of raw corn like Grits are) and boiled to a paste in soup (Grits are often just boiled in water), but it's still not exactly something I'd really want to eat.

I dunno Mel, it comes down to taste really. I personally fething HATE liver and onions, but for some unknown reason, people flock to that gak

There are three ultimate breakfast foods: Pancakes, eggy bread (aka french toast) and bacon.

I also don't like it much. Mind you, I'm a person who likes to put hot sauce as a spice in my pasta so I'm hardly one to talk.

Oh yes, the Liver must be flash fried, in a searing hot pan. About 10 seconds a side done. Liver if over cooked goes tough and literally everyone over cooks it. It is actually very good for you raw and you don't need to cook it. Same with kidney's if you serve it with red current jelly on Hot buttered toast fantastic Woodland breakfast.

I can't stand the taste of liver or kidneys, even nigh on raw.

Hot sauce is good gak though.

I love being an omnivore (we are the Apex Predator after all), I enjoy almost all parts of the animal. It is the only way to truly appreciate it's sacrafice, to kill an animal just for one small piece of it is truly wasteful. Lungs and eyes no, but everything else is fine.

I'll eat anything I like the taste of, I just dislike the taste of liver and kidney. Cheeks and trotters are good.

'Biscuits', 'Sausage Gravy', 'Grits'.... Jesus, and you guys take the piss out of OUR food!?

Spotted dick is tasty as a tasty thing on tasty day...

I don't know but Biscuit sounds like a cookie to me. When ever I hear biscuits I immediately think of cookies.

Though american's Biscuits with gravy.... Dear god it is actually delicious...

Same here, I like to try all kinds of food, but if I cant stand the taste thats it, I wont try it again for a number of years. Because sometimes your tastes change and you discover bad things are now good. Me......cannot stand liver, tried it many times, and it seems to just get worse and worse with age
