OK, Johnny L.A. I did it. My first poll. Personally, I think biscuits and gravy is the worlds most perfect food. Especially the gravy. I mean, of course, sausage gravy. You may call it sawmill gravy, scorched gravy, or white gravy. I don’t care what you call it, I want a couple scoops of it over some biscuits. And what the hell, I’ll put it on my hash and homefries too.
So what does everyone else think about B&G? To me, a breakfast buffet MUST have it, otherwise it sucks. I mean guys in chefs hats can be preparing Eggs Benedict to order and I will still be disapppointed if there’s no gravy.
Oh yum! Granted, it’s not something I’d eat every day, (I’d be dead of a heart attack before I turned 35!), but every once in a while? It’s heavenly. Soft, floury biscuits, savory sausage gravy? Mmmm
This is more something I’d have for brunch, though. For some reason, I can’t eat really heavy right when I get up in the morning. (A frozen waffle is probably the most I can do. My usual is yogurt, or a banana)
My Granny-in-law made it every day of her life, with cat-head biscuits and eggs fried in lard. Lard. Usually she was smoking a hand-rolled ciggy while she stood at the stove and stirred. She died a few years back at the amazing age of 91. My mind boggles, but I sure hope my kids have inherited some of those genes.
As for me–blech. But I make it because my family likes it. Weirdos, the lot of ya.
I also enjoy skipping the biscuits, and serving the gravy over scrambled eggs, which are themselves served over hash browns. Needless to say, I don’t do this often, but after a night of heavy drinking, it hits the spot like nothing else.
Ambrosia is right (the sausage gravy, that is). Denny’s, or was it Perkins, used to make the BEST, and I ordered it every time we went (well, morning or lunchtime). Then all of a sudden it turned horrible, just horrible, and now I think it’s off the menu. I’ve seen cans or packets of the cream gravy that I guess you add sausage to, if it was anything like Denny’s I’d buy a case.
