Biscuits should be split, then you butter the biscuit and grill it butter side down until crispy, then cover it with sausage gravy with lots of black pepper.
As a westerner, I’ve learned that when they say “healthy” they mean the meal is substantial & will hold you over/ fill your belly. This perspective is actually helping me bc I don’t have the best relationship with food. Usually If I eat something heavy like biscuits & gravy & feel upset with myself for eating something so unhealthy. I think it’s a nice perspective to take into account that I’ve been fed & well fed at that. Maybe I’ll implement that into my life. Sometimes you eat less bc you ate well :)
@@Del-Blanco-Diablo That is not true at all. Overeating tends to be what causes health issues in most people ( including myself a few years ago). But that doesn’t mean that any food is healthy if you eat within your caloric range. Our body and foods themselves are complex to an incomprehensible degree. Modern processed foods have so many chemicals that your body has to filter after every meal, including the chemicals in the tap water. That already is unhealthy. Depriving your body of nutrients by eating empty foods is a bad idea, regardless of the quantity . I started taking Shilajit and Athletic greens a few months ago, and it changed my life. Even though I was eating quite healthy, I still wasn’t getting enough diversity in my diet. These two things helped me make up for whatever deficiencies I had from not being able to eat food straight from nature. So even eating healthily can be not enough depending on where your food is grown and how much diversity you get in your diet.
That's a great perspective! To be fed and satisfied and have the energy to sustain your day is not something everyone has means to, and is certainly a form of health.
Biscuits and gravy originated from a place and time in the United States where many people did not have enough food to eat. The rendered fat from frying or cooking pork (known as drippings) had to be saved and eaten, throwing it away was seen as a waste of precious calories only a rich man could afford. The drippings were used to make simple fry breads or biscuits, but also for this type of simple gravy. The drippings are mixed with flour and fried together for a few minutes to cook the flour, then water, milk, and bits of meat, salt, and black pepper were added. It could be poured on even stale bread, or be eaten alone if there was no bread. This meal was eaten in the beginning of the day so workers and soldiers had energy to complete their labor. It is made with pork but when it is made with beef it is usually called SOS or “shi* on a shingle”, and served on toast. SOS is a very famous food in the cafeterias of the US Army.
Yes. Making gravy does use the grease in a productive way. Lets not forget the fond. The brown goo and little bits from whatever meat was fried. it makes the gravy good. A Montana breakfast spot I enjoyed would cook up a big pile of breakfast sausage,bacon,ham,etc to get a head start on cooking breakfast for the working folks who would come in. Whether it was the flat top or big frying pans or even oven pans,the fond from all the meat would deglaze into the gravy.That gravy had some brown to it. Man,it was GOOD!! I'd order a pile of home fried potatoes covered in that gravy, put runny yolk fried eggs on top, and two or three tablespoons of chopped jalapenos! OK,yeah,I'd get link sausage with it! Then we'd get in the boat and fish walleye and northern pike all day. Fresh fish for dinner!! Living good on vacation.
My dad (who was a navy vet from WW2) told me that “sh.. on a shingle” was corned beef hash on bread or toast, Something alien to us southerners! We do love biscuits & gravy!
I just love that they have such a respect to give thanks and praise for whatever it is they are given… as an American I feel very humbled by their openly honest way we should have all been taught. I just love these guys. Our food is NOT always healthy but it nearly always is hardy.
As a born hillbilly, I give this 1000 “likes” and I applaud their excellent taste (although I do agree about them needing to split the biscuits first.)
Biscuits and Gravy. It's all about the spices used, for sure. I've had some that taste like wallpaper glue and others that awaken your taste buds with flavor. It's crazy how something so simple can vary so much. It's good to see the men enjoying a dish millions of Americans enjoy every day.
The best gravy’s I’ve had all had a odd element that set them apart from the crowd. My top 3: half pork sausage / half chorizo, with pickled red onion on top; traditional rich turkey gravy with sage with chopped bacon on the morning after thanksgiving; and my local cafe adds a small amount of powdered Lipton garden vegetable dip mix which gives this vague savory pepper and onion flavor.
It changes by region. In Iowa, the sausage grave will be pretty bland, usually with just a little pepper and salt and it sells very well just like that. I much prefer to spice it up when I make it but it's all about what you grew up with.
Idk here in Missouri we have huge biscuits and a white sausage gravy. As a trucker I've had it all over the United States and let me tell you it is made a thousand different ways. I've learned to stop ordering it everywhere else. lol
Rana: "They eat such healthy foods!" Tahir: "If you're a heart patient, stay away from this kind of food." Me: "See? That's how you know Tahir is really a doctor!"
By healthy, they mean full of protein, fats, and calories. "Healthy" foods are foods with high caloric value. The notion of low-calorie, low-fat food being healthy is distinctly modern and western notion
Curious how the rest of the world calls this healthy, while our government has tried condemning this kind of food for decades. My relatives have eaten biscuits and gravy with eggs, bacon, and grits, and lived into their 90s, and beyond. I call BS on our "health food standards".
I love these people. Their understanding of the Western palate has improved significantly over the years. Now they can easily distinguish between our junk food and our original, home-based recipes...and they know the good stuff when they taste it. They need a food column in a reputable newspaper!
@Donatella Loncar Well with that logic, all dishes aren’t meant to be eaten over and over again. The problem isn’t so much the dish itself, people just don’t have moderation. It’s definitely not even close to being a junk food, if we’re talking about legitimate actual junks and snacks like candy, chips, any convenience store bought snack, etc.
@Donatella Loncar Who mentioned eating it on a "regular basis"? This is a charming site highlighting cultural differences. "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die." Epicurus.
@Donatella Loncar I see it more as a super-hearty meal for people who'll be working for hours to burn off the carbs and sweat out the salt. Healthy or not? More like appropriate for people who do hard work.
They do not have an understanding of the western palate due to their religion forbidding them from eating western food. The thing that makes biscuits and gray good is the pig fat from the sausages.
I love these men. They never fail to bring an ear to ear smile to my face, Im so blessed to be able to watch their genuine reactions and gratitude. Blessings unto all of you, and to your families as well. 💚🙏🏽
Actually cream and butter are good for you. We’ve been taught wrong about these foods. Refined carbs like the biscuit is what actually causes heart disease not fats.
South Louisiana here and I just love their enthusiasm for southern food. Really wanna kick it up a notch...throw a over med egg on top....mmmm mmmm c'est bon !
Wonder who is cooking this food for them, and how do they get something for soul food.or is this pre made stuff. I'm new to channel and have a few questions, love these guys
There are so many things about this episode to love. Doctor Tahir always offers his food.. What a kind soul. Gul has gotten so good with cutlery. Rana is hilarious 😂 and Mr. Chaudhary has the best comments. I love these sweet gentlemen so much. May God bless them all. Please them give Ukrainian perogies... potato and cheese flavor with sour cream and onions and butter. 😋❤
I was raised on biscuits and gravy.... When I was young I was too ashamed to let my friends know because back then it was a sign of being poor.... Then when I became an adult I craved biscuits and gravy like my Mom used to make.... Buttermilk biscuits and brown gravy....
Yes sir, Bill! My mama made us a hot cooked breakfast every morning before school and this was frequently on the menu. To this day, one of my favorites.
Now the brown gravy we referred to that as sawmill gravy. And the lighter gravy as sausage gravy or milk gravy. Suitable for ANY meal, whether it be breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Most of the time if we didn’t grow it, plant it, kill or catch it, well let’s just say the original slim fast didn’t come in a can. But I wouldn’t change anything about my upbringing if I could, other than spending more time with the family and telling them how much that I loved them more often. Load that gravy with black pepper too! Scrambled eggs and a couple slices of red ripe tomatoes, just make you hunger for more!
@@sirtango1 I know so many people who think that milk gravy is Sawmill gravy, but that's not what I was taught as a child. The people who work at The Sawmill didn't have much money and they may not always have milk, so they learn to make it with water. Understand exactly what you're saying about childhood. Mine was very similar and I don't hate it. Those of us who grew up with limited resources had to learn to be far more creative. I can make do with very little, and for that I'm extremely grateful.
I absolutely love how these men enjoy these foods that we as Americans eat on a regular basis 😂 we are blessed to be living in America! Now if we could afford gas / food / and other necessities we would be doing well !
@@Desert_Rogue_Tanker my Arkansas business partner introduced me. At first it looked suspect at best. Now if its on the menu i get it. Then i have to workout for an hour the next day.
I'm from Ohio and don't think we'll lose out to anyone south of the river on biscuits and gravy. I think country cooking not north and south when it comes to foods like these and I was raised in a very rural farming area. Stuff like this is as natural as the sun coming up in the morning.
@@Fektthis i would say these are not fighting words but words of truth and clarity. Yes country cooking in any region can make delicious biscuits and gravy. Just look at the waist bands of people from ohio! You also make the greatest food of all time….skyline chili! The food of gods! No exaggeration
A hint from a US southerner who's been making this for a long time. Use either all purpose flour or even cake flour if you want your biscuits to have a lighter, fluffier texture. If you use bread flour, the consistency will be more like regular bread, and that's not what you're shooting for when baking southern US style biscuits. Self-rising flour (already contains the salt, baking powder, and tartar powder) is the simplest - all you need is 2 cups of self-rising, 1 cup of milk or buttermilk, and a half cup of the fat of your choice (preferably butter or chilled bacon grease). Cut the butter or bacon grease into the dry flour until it resembles the texture of course corn meal, stir in the milk until the mixture is a moist gooey blob, roll it out on a floured surface (it doesn't need to be kneaded) to about an inch thick, cut it into 1.5-2" circles, coat with some melted butter, bake at 450º F for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. The gravy is easy. Brown about 1# of breakfast sausage, make a bechemel sauce (recipes for that are everywhere, it isn't hard) then add the sausage to it when it's the right thickness.
So happy they got to try this dish. A bit heavy for some people, but a staple in some parts of the country. Grits with butter, salt and pepper with a couple eggs would also be a great breakfast for these fine men to try. God bless them and their families!!
Love grits! Ever had them fried? Chill any leftovers, cut into squares and dust with flour. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Oh my goodness! Top with gravy, cheese sauce, salsa... You'll figure it out. 🙂
I was so concerned about the preparation! My family gravy is a bit lighter in color, but it looks like you guys did a great job! The peppery taste brings me back to my Grandma’s house on Saturday mornings.
This channel is my sole source for health & dietetic recommendations. I feel I'm very well-advised by Dr. Cough and the other fine panelists on this channel.
I'm glad they enjoy the milk gravy. It really is delicious, and the fact that they were all commenting about the black pepper tells me that the gravy was prepared correctly. Biscuits and gravy are definitely a good breakfast to start a day of hard physical work, but not recommended for a desk jockey.
I love the fact that they took all of two seconds to understand the purpose of biscuits and gravy: To keep a working man full till lunch, with plenty of energy.
I enjoy how much they describe every nuance and detail of their food experience of western foods. It's both innocently joyful and charming at the same time.
Well when alot of the southern dishes were made. It was kinda healthy. If you cut wood or flowed a mule for 10 -12 hrs a day. Remember they are thinking healthy in being able to work a physical hard labor with out needing to eat again for hrs.
Cook sausage, sprinkle with flour (1-2tbs) until absorbed, add whole milk a little at a time over medium heat until desired consistency, add salt and pepper. Pour over split baked biscuits. Easiest darn thing to make 😁💖
I am so glad they loved it! Too often I see people try biscuits and gravy and they don't like it because it's done poorly. You guys did a great job cooking this dish, it looks delicious!
That's for sure. Either the food isn't seasoned properly or it looks like it needs reheating. Plus biscuits are better split with a lot of gravy. Some videos I've seen it looks like theres only a tablespoon of gravy. Come on !
I Am A Native Southerner & Been Making Biscuits & Gravy For 52+ Years..Not Even ONCE In All Those Years Have There Been Any Leftovers,, Only PLENTY Of Friends Wanting More.
Being from Georgia, I *adore* biscuits and gravy! They're sooo heavy, tho ... like concrete in my stomach. I've gotten to the point of only being able to eat them very occasionally.
@happymethehappyone8300 could you send me the recipe please because here in Quebec, Canada we do not eat this and I would like to make some ;-) Thank you very much ;-)
@@TheShootist this is just untrue, a lot of peoples diets aren't even redeemable by vigorous exercise. You can exercise all you want but it's not going to make you healthy if your diet is horrible.
I look forward to these videos. Brings a wide smile and a few chuckles at their first reaction to certain foods. Love these gentlemen, spreading laughter and love...
I love it I'm from Virginia and we eat biscuits and gravy all the time next time split the biscuit and cover the whole plate and gravy that's how we eat it there with some hash browns on the side(shredded and cooked in butter) maybe even a little bit of hot sauce best breakfast ever
I am amazed! A video showing biscuits and gravy that actually look like biscuits and gravy! I am sure they used a substitute for the traditional pork sausage, but it still looked tasty!
When adding flour to your sausage & drippings plus butter you let the flour brown up. That increases the flavor removing any “paste” or flour tastes. Once browned then you slowly add milk (whole) then cook to thicken
Love the humbleness of these people. I would love to meet them and am thinking of sending my teenage girl some time with them to learn gratefullness and politeness , lol
Now I want some biscuits & gravy. 😋 It made me smile seeing how much they enjoyed this. I hope you teach them how to make it so they can have it at home. Have the guys ever tried fajitas? I think it would be a surprise for them to be served with food on a sizzling skillet & so much fun for them to assemble the tortillas with the toppings they like.
My mother taught us how to make the Hamburger Gravy,,, fry the meat brown, then add chopped onions and garlic, salt and pepper,,,, once soft add the cream and simmer a bit more,,, we put it on potatoes or rice usually,,
I grew up eating Shit on a Shingle...pepper gravy with canned tuna and frozen green peas served on toast! People who want to talk about how these things are "supposed" to be made must not have ever experienced living in poverty or near poverty. A can of tuna or a pound of ground beef costs a lot less than a pound of good sausage. With the way our economy is going, a lot of the Tickety Tockers who spend hundreds to make one attention-grabbing dish may learn the truth about food: the purpose of cooking is nutrition. Food as entertainment is a concept that most of the world can't afford to embrace!
@@elizabethwalsh1479 That's great Elizabeth, but biscuits and gravy aren't SOS. It's a regional dish, and it's not made with just anything you have in the house. It's certainly not made with hamburger meat or tuna.
I think when they say healthy or powerful, they mean full of proteins and fats to get through a hard day’s labor. They’re correct there, so that equates to being healthy.💪
It is such a traditional southern breakfast that even today only people below the mason dixon line can get the correct type of biscuit mix to make the proper fluffy/flakey biscuits. Turns out that in the majority of the country biscuit mixes are made with the wrong sort of wheat, too much gluten to allow it to properly rise. Being a southern dish, people of the south used the wheat that grew in the south a *lighter* wheat with less gluten. So southern biscuits are lighter, fluffier and not dense bricks like most other places.
@@franksmith4730 The simple solution for the rest of the country is to make their biscuits from scratch using the correct flour. Many of us do, mostly because scratch made doesn't have the added chemicals and preservatives that store bought mixes do.
@@charliedavis8894 You still have to have the right sort of flour, and southern flour isn't ubiquitous, and that is the problem. There is a great Atlantic article about it. Even amazon is hit or miss. There is only so much of the correct sort of wheat and White Lily controls almost all of it and just doesn't sell in markets that aren't the south or midwest of the country. Not saying you can't make proper biscuits, just, it isn't as simple as buying flour at the grocery store. You are most likely just getting bread flour. You should (or anyone interested) check out the atlantic article "Why Most of America Is Terrible at Making Biscuits"
@@franksmith4730 Yes, I know about White Lily flour, I brought some back from Louisiana to try it and it wasn't any different as far as lightness or fluffiness than the low gluten, soft wheat flour I had been using. And no, I've never used bread flour to make biscuits. After a half century of baking and cooking both at home and in restaurants I think I can identify pretty subtle differences in food. I understand what you're saying though, if I lived in the south I'd use the WL flour rather than searching for the flour I currently use.
I love seeing the tribal people trying new things. They are so appreciative. I really enjoyed seeing them at the ocean and the episode seeing their home with the birds❤ It was so peaceful
I grew up on biscuits and gravy. Have to make sure to cook the flour for gravy long enough to not taste raw. It looks like cooking mince with milk is a game changer. They will impress their guests.
Starts with the roux. Mix flour with butter and form into balls. Simmer some milk in the pan on top of the frond from the sausage and add the balls. Stir until the balls melt and the sauce thickens.
Meat is fried then you sprinkle flour to make rue then slowly add milk salt & pepper stir till thickness you like add over split biscuits 😊 with 2 eggs on the side
This is such an interesting take from them. There's so much variety of these in SE USA, that you could make a whole hour show of them experiencing the differences.
I cannot get enough of these gentlemen! They have a sharp palate. They can taste specific spices and ingredients. I shared one of these videos with my sister. Her husband is from India. She said that we are feeding these men unhealthy foods and they do not traditionally eat like we do at all. As much as I enjoy watching them try our foods, I now am concerned at what they are eating too. They warm my heart when they eat something they like!
As an English person, I got slightly confused when I first read the title. Biscuits and gravy would be absolutely disgusting in England. I had visions of digestive biscuits covered in meat gravy😁🤢
I can understand why you would feel that way! If you want something really strange, some people make chocolate gravy to go with biscuits. I never acquired a taste for it, personally.
The gravy can be eaten with any type of bread. Preferably leavened bread. Gravy is simple. In large skillet, brown mince and season (salt and pepper is all that is needed but experiment). Sprinkle flour and stir until dry. Add milk (about 3x the meat in pan). Season again to taste. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it gets thick enough. Leftovers? Store in refrigerator. To reheat, pour a little bit of milk in pan and bring to boil. Add cold gravy and mix well until fully blended and warm. I would love to come cook for you all someday. Food is good for uniting people. Whether it's family or someone you just met
I make a roux flour and butter then you add the milk. Salt pepper garlic powder sometimes a little paprika. Usually sage pork sausage not mince but they cant have. To me if its anything other than sausage its creamed whatever or shit on a shingle. :)
I grew up with rice and sausage gravy with eggs over easy as a weekly meal. No one in my family could make biscuits. Although I have learned how to make decent drop biscuits, I still have that for an occasional dinner all these years later.
What I love about the lovely tribal people is they give off this vibe of “slow down and enjoy the little things in life”. We all get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and forget to enjoy the simplicity life has to offer and it may just be a plate of biscuits and gravy! I never tried Pakistani food before watching tribal people. Not that I didn’t want to, but that I didn’t know any places to go to get Pakistani food. I found a place near the city I live in and got some paratha, biryani, and nihari. I swear I could live off paratha and biryani 🤤 So full of flavor! Tribal people got me curious of Pakistani food and I’m glad they did bc I was missing out!!
Looks great, canned biscuits are a good sub for b&gravy when you don't feel like making home-made biscuits. Im glad they really liked it, now Id like to c them try breakfast sandwiches made with biscuits.
Depends on kind of biscuits you make. When I'm in a hurry I just make drop biscuits with self rising flour and milk. If I feel fancy, out comes the rolling pin and biscuit cutter.
In the US, we usually use a mild pork sausage, but, I've also made it with turkey sausage and it's just as good. When I was in the USAF, they used chip beef in the gravy to make SOS, which was served over toasted bread. I loved all the different types. I'm glad these men are enjoying it.
I would much rather have the hamburger gravy than the salty chipped beef gravy they used to serve in the chow hall, still eat it today over biscuits or bread.
These biscuits are what we call “scones” in the UK - except most scones are sweet. You can have savoury ones though. I love the sound of mince cooked in milk and butter! Must try it.
The American biscuit seems very unique when I explain it to people from other countries. The main difference from scones I've tried is biscuits are soft and more similar to bread. 'Flaky', soft, buttery, not really sweet, bread flavor.
@@wayneTX ‘Mince’ is what Americans call ‘ground meat’. Meat put through a mincer into tiny little pieces. In the UK ‘gravy’ is made from meat juices and meat stock and is always brown. This gravy is more like a savoury white sauce
It was ment for the American homesteader, to give them a hefty breakfast to least for a long days wrk! It is the best! I'm a Native American and we have tribes too. I bet if our tribe were left to evolve like yours we'd be pretty close. A lot of your belief are like ours. Wow!
I make a slightly less artery choking version of biscuits and gravy that you'd never guess was on the lighter side. We still only eat it on special occasions, though. I started making my own after trying it in several restaurants and diners. I could never seem to find a version that came even close to my mama's or grandmom's. Seems everywhere I tried it, there was something "off" about it. It was either so thick that you could hang wallpaper with it, or there was no flavor at all. The worst part is that most of the places I tried it, were in the South where I grew up! How anyone can call themselves a true Southern cook, but not be able to pull off a decent, well-seasoned biscuits and gravy, is downright criminal in my book! So glad that the guys loved it so much! I feel kinda bad for Rana's daughter-in-law, though. I guess she'd better find out right quick how the TPT chef made this! LOL
The big man in the brown shirt with the blue head covering and white beard is my favorite. I like seeing his reaction to our American foods and hearing what he thinks about them.
I wonder if they ever get a recipe for something like this to take home and cook. would be interesting to know if any food they try has changed their palate or diet in some way.
Oh man I had to click on this. We got people here in America that don't even know about this southern delicacy. Glad to see it's getting out there. Glad to see these fellas enjoying some classic southern comfort food.
correct, this isn't correct, its missing the sausage which they cannot have in their diet, but also this gravy is to think, it should be pourable, not lumpy like this. i understand they went with ground beef, but they used to many grams of it.
Two things about this.. #1 - When served biscuits & gravy here in the US, the biscuits are cut or "forked" in half and then the gravy is poured on top of the half just like you would make an "open faced" sandwich. #2 - The gravy is usually a "country" gravy or sausage gravy, which is always white in color. Not sure what gravy was used here but that is definite NOT white gravy.
After being stationed in the South (US Army) I developed a deep love for biscuits & gravy. Tried em in 14 states, and the best I ever found was a little roadside diner in Colorado, a retired couple made Tex/Mex food that was just amazing, the tamales were astounding, but the B & G was out of this world. They've since retired properly, and my quest for the perfect biscuits & gravy carries on. Love these cultural exchange videos, seeing something we consider "everyday" experienced by someone for the first time is great.
@@annainspain5176 Yeah, biscuits can and are made a variety of ways, some people like buttermilk biscuits, some people like them crumbly and dry. Same with the cream gravy, some use milk, some don't, some add the flour with the crumbled pork sausage, some cook the cream sauce separately from the ground pork sausage, strain the sausage and then add it to the cream sauce. Biscuits and gravy is made with seasoned pork sausage in the south. Creamed beef is seasoned crumbled hamburger in a cream sauce. Chipped beef is also popular and is dried beef cooked in a cream sauce and served on toast or biscuits. The upshot is, it's like Italian tomato sauce and pasta, lot's of variations on the dish.
I find it interesting how much they speak of health and how much these meals will help to make them powerful if they eat them. I'm glad they have the opportunity to try these dishes from the US
One of the best dishes, for me. It was good to see these gentlemen enjoy a fantastic plate of food. I love hearing their comments regarding each food that they eat. It is a good thing. 😊
It is so wonderful to watch these men enjoy food from around the world. I get the impression that think that this is only American food, I don't think they understand that America is such a melting pot that we have food from all over the world in 1 country. I do hope they get a chance to share the food they have and are taught about with others. As a retired Executive Chef I always had a saying that love may make the world go around BUT it is food that shares the love of the world
I don't know how I would have grown to adulthood in the American South without biscuits and gravy. Brown Pinto beans over crumbled cornbread was another staple, with a buttered slice on the side, followed by a piece crumbled in a glass of buttermilk (or plain milk) for dessert. Would be interesting to see the reaction of these fine people to the most common meal of my childhood. :)
From southern USA. There should be more gravy than meat. Also gravy should be made with milk and flour. The sausage has enough fat to properly season the gravy. Maybe add a bit of salt pepper and garlic. We typically eat this meal on a day of rest. So we have the meal as a late breakfast. Don’t eat lunch then have a bigger dinner a bit earlier than usual.

I always feel the biscuits should be split open so the gravy can soak in. It bothers me when gravy is poured over whole biscuits.
YES! seems like they miss these fine details on how to eat some of these recipes.
It also didn't look like a true biscuit to me, but they enjoyed it, so that's the only thing really important.
it's not sausage gravy.
Biscuits should be split, then you butter the biscuit and grill it butter side down until crispy, then cover it with sausage gravy with lots of black pepper.
Right 👍 it's a flavor crime not to split the bisc8
As a westerner, I’ve learned that when they say “healthy” they mean the meal is substantial & will hold you over/ fill your belly. This perspective is actually helping me bc I don’t have the best relationship with food. Usually If I eat something heavy like biscuits & gravy & feel upset with myself for eating something so unhealthy. I think it’s a nice perspective to take into account that I’ve been fed & well fed at that. Maybe I’ll implement that into my life. Sometimes you eat less bc you ate well :)
Are you underweight or overweight?
It's got nothing too do with what you eat and everything too do with how much, all food is healthy until you eat too much of it.
@@Del-Blanco-Diablo That is not true at all. Overeating tends to be what causes health issues in most people ( including myself a few years ago).

They are talking about calorie rather than the other nutritional values. You should eat according to how strenuous your day is, calorie-wise
Biscuits and gravy originated from a place and time in the United States where many people did not have enough food to eat. The rendered fat from frying or cooking pork (known as drippings) had to be saved and eaten, throwing it away was seen as a waste of precious calories only a rich man could afford. The drippings were used to make simple fry breads or biscuits, but also for this type of simple gravy. The drippings are mixed with flour and fried together for a few minutes to cook the flour, then water, milk, and bits of meat, salt, and black pepper were added. It could be poured on even stale bread, or be eaten alone if there was no bread. This meal was eaten in the beginning of the day so workers and soldiers had energy to complete their labor.
It is made with pork but when it is made with beef it is usually called SOS or “shi* on a shingle”, and served on toast. SOS is a very famous food in the cafeterias of the US Army.
As an Appalachian person I can say this is true, as an Army vet...again True!!
Yes. Making gravy does use the grease in a productive way. Lets not forget the fond. The brown goo and little bits from whatever meat was fried. it makes the gravy good.
A Montana breakfast spot I enjoyed would cook up a big pile of breakfast sausage,bacon,ham,etc to get a head start on cooking breakfast for the working folks who would come in. Whether it was the flat top or big frying pans or even oven pans,the fond from all the meat would deglaze into the gravy.That gravy had some brown to it. Man,it was GOOD!!
I'd order a pile of home fried potatoes covered in that gravy, put runny yolk fried eggs on top, and two or three tablespoons of chopped jalapenos! OK,yeah,I'd get link sausage with it!
Then we'd get in the boat and fish walleye and northern pike all day.
Fresh fish for dinner!! Living good on vacation.
My dad (who was a navy vet from WW2) told me that “sh.. on a shingle” was corned beef hash on bread or toast, Something alien to us southerners! We do love biscuits & gravy!
It's, SOS when it's dried chipped beef, which I make several times a year, on toast with the chipped beef in a white sauce
@@cynthiacoleman4577 yes, he did mention “SOS”! He didn’t care for it at all😄
I just love that they have such a respect to give thanks and praise for whatever it is they are given… as an American I feel very humbled by their openly honest way we should have all been taught. I just love these guys. Our food is NOT always healthy but it nearly always is hardy.
I can feel Chaudhary Raffique's enjoyment of his food right through the internet. His inner happiness in general is contagious.
Adorable human being!
As a born hillbilly, I give this 1000 “likes” and I applaud their excellent taste (although I do agree about them needing to split the biscuits first.)
Though they are using beef so it's not quite the taste of the original.
I think these guys are really cute. For some reason, it brings me a lot of pleasure to watch these guys eat food that we take for granted.
And butter them!
Turkey sausage would be a better substitute for beef.
In North Carolina, we split the biscuits but I think it's personal preference.
Biscuits and Gravy. It's all about the spices used, for sure. I've had some that taste like wallpaper glue and others that awaken your taste buds with flavor. It's crazy how something so simple can vary so much. It's good to see the men enjoying a dish millions of Americans enjoy every day.
Wallpaper glue 💀
The best gravy’s I’ve had all had a odd element that set them apart from the crowd. My top 3: half pork sausage / half chorizo, with pickled red onion on top; traditional rich turkey gravy with sage with chopped bacon on the morning after thanksgiving; and my local cafe adds a small amount of powdered Lipton garden vegetable dip mix which gives this vague savory pepper and onion flavor.
It changes by region. In Iowa, the sausage grave will be pretty bland, usually with just a little pepper and salt and it sells very well just like that. I much prefer to spice it up when I make it but it's all about what you grew up with.
That's Only Because Many Don't Know Why & How It Was Originally Made.
Idk here in Missouri we have huge biscuits and a white sausage gravy. As a trucker I've had it all over the United States and let me tell you it is made a thousand different ways. I've learned to stop ordering it everywhere else. lol
Rana: "They eat such healthy foods!"
Tahir: "If you're a heart patient, stay away from this kind of food."
Me: "See? That's how you know Tahir is really a doctor!"
They eat such healthy foods had me howling.
Next: "Tribal people try deep-fried mars bars!"
"The health benefits of this dish are..."
By healthy, they mean full of protein, fats, and calories. "Healthy" foods are foods with high caloric value.
The notion of low-calorie, low-fat food being healthy is distinctly modern and western notion
Hearty and nutritious. Not necessarily healthy in the modern western sense, yeah.
@@fugitiveunknown7806 so much ignorance in 1 comment. It has even reached this innocent part of youtube
Curious how the rest of the world calls this healthy, while our government has tried condemning this kind of food for decades.
My relatives have eaten biscuits and gravy with eggs, bacon, and grits, and lived into their 90s, and beyond.
I call BS on our "health food standards".
I love these people. Their understanding of the Western palate has improved significantly over the years. Now they can easily distinguish between our junk food and our original, home-based recipes...and they know the good stuff when they taste it. They need a food column in a reputable newspaper!
@Donatella Loncar It's a Southern classic with centuries of tradition behind it. You can call it junk food if you wish.
@Donatella Loncar Well with that logic, all dishes aren’t meant to be eaten over and over again. The problem isn’t so much the dish itself, people just don’t have moderation. It’s definitely not even close to being a junk food, if we’re talking about legitimate actual junks and snacks like candy, chips, any convenience store bought snack, etc.
@Donatella Loncar Who mentioned eating it on a "regular basis"? This is a charming site highlighting cultural differences. "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die." Epicurus.
@Donatella Loncar I see it more as a super-hearty meal for people who'll be working for hours to burn off the carbs and sweat out the salt. Healthy or not? More like appropriate for people who do hard work.
They do not have an understanding of the western palate due to their religion forbidding them from eating western food. The thing that makes biscuits and gray good is the pig fat from the sausages.
I love these men. They never fail to bring an ear to ear smile to my face, Im so blessed to be able to watch their genuine reactions and gratitude. Blessings unto all of you, and to your families as well. 💚🙏🏽
4:13 "And if you are a heart patient, then stay away from these kind of food."
Truer words have never been spoken. 😆
False, allopathic medicine has been lying all along.
Lmao!!!!
Southerners don't live as long as Yankees, but they die with smiles on their faces!
Actually cream and butter are good for you. We’ve been taught wrong about these foods. Refined carbs like the biscuit is what actually causes heart disease not fats.
They’re a heart attack waiting to happen, that doesn’t stop me from enjoying them every Saturday for breakfast though!!! 🤣
South Louisiana here and I just love their enthusiasm for southern food. Really wanna kick it up a notch...throw a over med egg on top....mmmm mmmm c'est bon !
Anyone who has ever been in the US military can appreciate biscuits and gravy! They served it every day! I would usually get it with a couple of eggs.
Indeed. I used to make breakfast for my Guard unit on Sun mornings-- the one item that HAD to be on the menu was Biscuits & Gravy....
S O S👍
SOS
I miss the yakisoba. Tried to make it myself. Failed. Lol
These are not the same. They do not eat pork.
The guy that always offers the camera man some of his food is the most gracious, well mannered person I've ever seen. Just such a good person.
right?? Thats Tahir and he always offers his food. so sweet!
He is known as Dr. Tahir. Tongue in cheek, doctor of philosophy.
No matter how my day was, those people bring me the smile back ❤️ i love this channel
“It can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well.” That’s the way I have always seen it!😁
With a side of scrambled eggs and a little Tabasco sauce, please.
I bet they were excited to share that recipe with their families. 😄 All of them enjoyed this simple dish! Spices are everything to complete the dish.
Wonder who is cooking this food for them, and how do they get something for soul food.or is this pre made stuff. I'm new to channel and have a few questions, love these guys
Biscuits and gravy are utterly disgusting though, I dont understand people who eat the revolting shit.
There are so many things about this episode to love. Doctor Tahir always offers his food.. What a kind soul. Gul has gotten so good with cutlery. Rana is hilarious 😂 and Mr. Chaudhary has the best comments. I love these sweet gentlemen so much. May God bless them all. Please them give Ukrainian perogies... potato and cheese flavor with sour cream and onions and butter. 😋❤
I was raised on biscuits and gravy.... When I was young I was too ashamed to let my friends know because back then it was a sign of being poor.... Then when I became an adult I craved biscuits and gravy like my Mom used to make.... Buttermilk biscuits and brown gravy....
Yes sir, Bill! My mama made us a hot cooked breakfast every morning before school and this was frequently on the menu. To this day, one of my favorites.
Now the brown gravy we referred to that as sawmill gravy. And the lighter gravy as sausage gravy or milk gravy. Suitable for ANY meal, whether it be breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Most of the time if we didn’t grow it, plant it, kill or catch it, well let’s just say the original slim fast didn’t come in a can. But I wouldn’t change anything about my upbringing if I could, other than spending more time with the family and telling them how much that I loved them more often. Load that gravy with black pepper too! Scrambled eggs and a couple slices of red ripe tomatoes, just make you hunger for more!
@@sirtango1 I know so many people who think that milk gravy is Sawmill gravy, but that's not what I was taught as a child. The people who work at The Sawmill didn't have much money and they may not always have milk, so they learn to make it with water. Understand exactly what you're saying about childhood. Mine was very similar and I don't hate it. Those of us who grew up with limited resources had to learn to be far more creative. I can make do with very little, and for that I'm extremely grateful.
Ungrateful kid.
LOL
So good....
I absolutely love how these men enjoy these foods that we as Americans eat on a regular basis 😂 we are blessed to be living in America! Now if we could afford gas / food / and other necessities we would be doing well !
Agree! Let’s go, Brandon.
Biscuits and gravy boys! Delicious meal made best by southerners. Love my boys!
i will admit that was a fave while i was in the army down south
@@Desert_Rogue_Tanker my Arkansas business partner introduced me. At first it looked suspect at best. Now if its on the menu i get it. Then i have to workout for an hour the next day.
@@daveh640 lol i feel you.when i was in the army,it would get burned off in next morning's pt
I'm from Ohio and don't think we'll lose out to anyone south of the river on biscuits and gravy. I think country cooking not north and south when it comes to foods like these and I was raised in a very rural farming area. Stuff like this is as natural as the sun coming up in the morning.
@@Fektthis i would say these are not fighting words but words of truth and clarity. Yes country cooking in any region can make delicious biscuits and gravy. Just look at the waist bands of people from ohio! You also make the greatest food of all time….skyline chili! The food of gods! No exaggeration
A hint from a US southerner who's been making this for a long time. Use either all purpose flour or even cake flour if you want your biscuits to have a lighter, fluffier texture. If you use bread flour, the consistency will be more like regular bread, and that's not what you're shooting for when baking southern US style biscuits. Self-rising flour (already contains the salt, baking powder, and tartar powder) is the simplest - all you need is 2 cups of self-rising, 1 cup of milk or buttermilk, and a half cup of the fat of your choice (preferably butter or chilled bacon grease). Cut the butter or bacon grease into the dry flour until it resembles the texture of course corn meal, stir in the milk until the mixture is a moist gooey blob, roll it out on a floured surface (it doesn't need to be kneaded) to about an inch thick, cut it into 1.5-2" circles, coat with some melted butter, bake at 450º F for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. The gravy is easy. Brown about 1# of breakfast sausage, make a bechemel sauce (recipes for that are everywhere, it isn't hard) then add the sausage to it when it's the right thickness.
So happy they got to try this dish. A bit heavy for some people, but a staple in some parts of the country. Grits with butter, salt and pepper with a couple eggs would also be a great breakfast for these fine men to try. God bless them and their families!!
Add a fried egg to the grits, and some cheese.
Love grits! Ever had them fried? Chill any leftovers, cut into squares and dust with flour. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Oh my goodness! Top with gravy, cheese sauce, salsa... You'll figure it out. 🙂
@@angelbulldog4934 I gotta try that
That or sweet grits served like cereal since they like sweet tastes.Or maybe cheese grits for something even better.
@@angelbulldog4934 best made with stoneground grits. Mix some cheese in before they cool. A couple griddled, ripe tomatoes on the side is nice.
I was so concerned about the preparation! My family gravy is a bit lighter in color, but it looks like you guys did a great job! The peppery taste brings me back to my Grandma’s house on Saturday mornings.
This channel is my sole source for health & dietetic recommendations.
I feel I'm very well-advised by Dr. Cough and the other fine panelists on this channel.
😄 🤣 😂 😆
You're on your way to being the healthiest, cough-free champion wrestler.
I'm glad they enjoy the milk gravy. It really is delicious, and the fact that they were all commenting about the black pepper tells me that the gravy was prepared correctly. Biscuits and gravy are definitely a good breakfast to start a day of hard physical work, but not recommended for a desk jockey.
Biscuits and gravy can be a meal anytime. One of my favorite things to eat on a cold winter day. Of course, the spices have to be right.
I love the fact that they took all of two seconds to understand the purpose of biscuits and gravy: To keep a working man full till lunch, with plenty of energy.
Love it when they try food from the South. I made this Sunday morning. Always a hit.
same with my folks and fried taters and hamburger meat gravy is always a hit around hear
I enjoy how much they describe every nuance and detail of their food experience of western foods. It's both innocently joyful and charming at the same time.
I really enjoy these videos. The men are so polite and appreciative 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
you all had smiles while eating the biscuits and gravy 👍
I just had gravy & biscuits with scrambled eggs on top 👍 a classic southern dish
U forgot the hash browns, bacon, sausage, buttered toast, orange juice,
@@michaelstevens7651 are we eating breakfast or eating like kings HAHA 🤭
Yep had it yesterday 😊
My favorite way. The eggs on top keep the gravy nice and hot.
The only way to eat it 😋
Yes! Biscuits and gravy. Now they need some good pinto beans and cornbread!
Black eyed peas and ham with cornbread and butter but not sure they can eat ham
Refried Jalepeno Beans and in a Sourdough Breadobowl.
Fried kraft and sausage with the beans and cornbread 😁
Fresh onion and tomato with pintos and cornbread and im down for the count
I grew up eating it with a side of cantaloupe.
I love how you think Americans eat healthy. I would say about 30% of us eat healthy the rest of us just eat Biscuits and Gravy 😀.
*3%
Well when alot of the southern dishes were made.
It was kinda healthy.
If you cut wood or flowed a mule for 10 -12 hrs a day.
Remember they are thinking healthy in being able to work a physical hard labor with out needing to eat again for hrs.
I know! I'm always giving the side eye when they say it is healthy. I'm pretty sure that haven't tried a single healthy thing.
@@Katy32344 They had jambalaya recently. Nothing wrong with it at all. They had chicken instead of sausage as well making it the healthier version.
I know, right! Gravy is really unhealthy, cholesterol laden dish.....but most delicious.
Cook sausage, sprinkle with flour (1-2tbs) until absorbed, add whole milk a little at a time over medium heat until desired consistency, add salt and pepper. Pour over split baked biscuits. Easiest darn thing to make 😁💖
I am so glad they loved it! Too often I see people try biscuits and gravy and they don't like it because it's done poorly. You guys did a great job cooking this dish, it looks delicious!
That's for sure. Either the food isn't seasoned properly or it looks like it needs reheating. Plus biscuits are better split with a lot of gravy. Some videos I've seen it looks like theres only a tablespoon of gravy. Come on !
It is so nice seeing people just enjoy food. Such a simple pleasure.
I Am A Native Southerner & Been Making Biscuits & Gravy For 52+ Years..Not Even ONCE In All Those Years Have There Been Any Leftovers,, Only PLENTY Of Friends Wanting More.
I concur.
Being from Georgia, I *adore* biscuits and gravy! They're sooo heavy, tho ... like concrete in my stomach. I've gotten to the point of only being able to eat them very occasionally.
Biscuits and gravy are utterly disgusting though, I dont understand people who eat the revolting shit.
@happymethehappyone8300 could you send me the recipe please because here in Quebec, Canada we do not eat this and I would like to make some ;-) Thank you very much ;-)
Love these guys.
Biscuits and gravy is my favorite meal.
I’m glad they enjoyed it ❤️

@@Chris-jn2pk 100%
"what's amazing is that their breakfast is so healthy"
*solemnly nod in approval while trying to ignore crushing chest pains
nothing wrong with the diet, it's the lack of vigor(ish) and regular exercise which is the killer.
@@TheShootist this is just untrue, a lot of peoples diets aren't even redeemable by vigorous exercise. You can exercise all you want but it's not going to make you healthy if your diet is horrible.
The sarcasm is appreciated lol
lol I believe the way in which they use it, the context suggests that it means "filling/substantial" rather than healthy in the literal sense.
@@LegaliseShemp Thanks Trevor, I'll try and learn to keep my sense of humor to myself and only speak literally from this point forward.
I want these guys to critique all foods. Love hearing them, they’re super well informed. Love this
I look forward to these videos. Brings a wide smile and a few chuckles at their first reaction to certain foods. Love these gentlemen, spreading laughter and love...
Right!? These guys so make my night..I watch them when I should be sleeping. Wouldn't it be cool to hang out with them for a day!?
I love it I'm from Virginia and we eat biscuits and gravy all the time next time split the biscuit and cover the whole plate and gravy that's how we eat it there with some hash browns on the side(shredded and cooked in butter) maybe even a little bit of hot sauce best breakfast ever
I am amazed! A video showing biscuits and gravy that actually look like biscuits and gravy! I am sure they used a substitute for the traditional pork sausage, but it still looked tasty!
the thing is the gravy should be white since it is milk based.
I use maple sausage....
Try it with deer sausage.
When adding flour to your sausage & drippings plus butter you let the flour brown up. That increases the flavor removing any “paste” or flour tastes. Once browned then you slowly add milk (whole) then cook to thicken
hamburger
Love the humbleness of these people. I would love to meet them and am thinking of sending my teenage girl some time with them to learn gratefullness and politeness , lol
nothin like good biscuits and gravy on a cold day to warm you up
Now I want some biscuits & gravy. 😋 It made me smile seeing how much they enjoyed this. I hope you teach them how to make it so they can have it at home.
Have the guys ever tried fajitas? I think it would be a surprise for them to be served with food on a sizzling skillet & so much fun for them to assemble the tortillas with the toppings they like.
My mother taught us how to make the Hamburger Gravy,,, fry the meat brown, then add chopped onions and garlic, salt and pepper,,,, once soft add the cream and simmer a bit more,,, we put it on potatoes or rice usually,,
They should be made with country sausage and the grease from the pan after frying. Add lots of black pepper.
never had that but will have to try
I grew up eating Shit on a Shingle...pepper gravy with canned tuna and frozen green peas served on toast! People who want to talk about how these things are "supposed" to be made must not have ever experienced living in poverty or near poverty. A can of tuna or a pound of ground beef costs a lot less than a pound of good sausage. With the way our economy is going, a lot of the Tickety Tockers who spend hundreds to make one attention-grabbing dish may learn the truth about food: the purpose of cooking is nutrition. Food as entertainment is a concept that most of the world can't afford to embrace!
@@elizabethwalsh1479 That's great Elizabeth, but biscuits and gravy aren't SOS. It's a regional dish, and it's not made with just anything you have in the house. It's certainly not made with hamburger meat or tuna.
I just love these kind gentle men. To hear chadre talk about his wife almost makes me cry.
Biscuits and gravy is a traditional southern breakfast in the US. It may not be healthy but boy is it good
I think when they say healthy or powerful, they mean full of proteins and fats to get through a hard day’s labor. They’re correct there, so that equates to being healthy.💪
It is such a traditional southern breakfast that even today only people below the mason dixon line can get the correct type of biscuit mix to make the proper fluffy/flakey biscuits. Turns out that in the majority of the country biscuit mixes are made with the wrong sort of wheat, too much gluten to allow it to properly rise. Being a southern dish, people of the south used the wheat that grew in the south a *lighter* wheat with less gluten. So southern biscuits are lighter, fluffier and not dense bricks like most other places.
@@franksmith4730 The simple solution for the rest of the country is to make their biscuits from scratch using the correct flour. Many of us do, mostly because scratch made doesn't have the added chemicals and preservatives that store bought mixes do.
@@charliedavis8894 You still have to have the right sort of flour, and southern flour isn't ubiquitous, and that is the problem. There is a great Atlantic article about it. Even amazon is hit or miss. There is only so much of the correct sort of wheat and White Lily controls almost all of it and just doesn't sell in markets that aren't the south or midwest of the country. Not saying you can't make proper biscuits, just, it isn't as simple as buying flour at the grocery store. You are most likely just getting bread flour.
You should (or anyone interested) check out the atlantic article "Why Most of America Is Terrible at Making Biscuits"
@@franksmith4730 Yes, I know about White Lily flour, I brought some back from Louisiana to try it and it wasn't any different as far as lightness or fluffiness than the low gluten, soft wheat flour I had been using. And no, I've never used bread flour to make biscuits. After a half century of baking and cooking both at home and in restaurants I think I can identify pretty subtle differences in food. I understand what you're saying though, if I lived in the south I'd use the WL flour rather than searching for the flour I currently use.
I love seeing the tribal people trying new things. They are so appreciative. I really enjoyed seeing them at the ocean and the episode seeing their home with the birds❤
It was so peaceful
I grew up on biscuits and gravy. Have to make sure to cook the flour for gravy long enough to not taste raw. It looks like cooking mince with milk is a game changer. They will impress their guests.
Starts with the roux. Mix flour with butter and form into balls. Simmer some milk in the pan on top of the frond from the sausage and add the balls. Stir until the balls melt and the sauce thickens.
Meat is fried then you sprinkle flour to make rue then slowly add milk salt & pepper stir till thickness you like add over split biscuits 😊 with 2 eggs on the side
have this for breakfast
at least
three times a week
I'm addicted
This is such an interesting take from them. There's so much variety of these in SE USA, that you could make a whole hour show of them experiencing the differences.
Ive got to ask, has anyone of these wonderful gentlemen tried to make any of these meals cooked on this channel in their village?
I cannot get enough of these gentlemen! They have a sharp palate. They can taste specific spices and ingredients. I shared one of these videos with my sister. Her husband is from India. She said that we are feeding these men unhealthy foods and they do not traditionally eat like we do at all. As much as I enjoy watching them try our foods, I now am concerned at what they are eating too. They warm my heart when they eat something they like!
Raffique's chuckle of delight at 1:03 made me smile.
They need to come to America and experience all the wonderful cultures of food. May God bless you and your family always!💌🙏🤗
As an English person, I got slightly confused when I first read the title. Biscuits and gravy would be absolutely disgusting in England. I had visions of digestive biscuits covered in meat gravy😁🤢
I can understand why you would feel that way! If you want something really strange, some people make chocolate gravy to go with biscuits. I never acquired a taste for it, personally.
American biscuits are similar to scones, but more light and flaky.
@@richardstephens5570 That's a perfect comparison
Thats how i explain it here in scotland also less sweet than scones. Found irish soda bead crumbled works perfect for it
You need to have Southern American styled biscuits and gravy. Made with Pork
I really hope these adorable and sweet people are making money from this venture. It's so entertaining and wholesome!
The gravy can be eaten with any type of bread. Preferably leavened bread. Gravy is simple. In large skillet, brown mince and season (salt and pepper is all that is needed but experiment). Sprinkle flour and stir until dry. Add milk (about 3x the meat in pan). Season again to taste. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it gets thick enough. Leftovers? Store in refrigerator. To reheat, pour a little bit of milk in pan and bring to boil. Add cold gravy and mix well until fully blended and warm. I would love to come cook for you all someday. Food is good for uniting people. Whether it's family or someone you just met
I make a roux flour and butter then you add the milk. Salt pepper garlic powder sometimes a little paprika. Usually sage pork sausage not mince but they cant have. To me if its anything other than sausage its creamed whatever or shit on a shingle. :)
I grew up with rice and sausage gravy with eggs over easy as a weekly meal. No one in my family could make biscuits. Although I have learned how to make decent drop biscuits, I still have that for an occasional dinner all these years later.
What I love about the lovely tribal people is they give off this vibe of “slow down and enjoy the little things in life”. We all get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and forget to enjoy the simplicity life has to offer and it may just be a plate of biscuits and gravy! I never tried Pakistani food before watching tribal people. Not that I didn’t want to, but that I didn’t know any places to go to get Pakistani food. I found a place near the city I live in and got some paratha, biryani, and nihari. I swear I could live off paratha and biryani 🤤 So full of flavor! Tribal people got me curious of Pakistani food and I’m glad they did bc I was missing out!!
Looks great, canned biscuits are a good sub for b&gravy when you don't feel like making home-made biscuits. Im glad they really liked it, now Id like to c them try breakfast sandwiches made with biscuits.
The frozen biscuits are pretty good also. I recommend Pillsbury buttermilk 👊
There is ALWAYS time for homemade biscuits & mashed potatoes
Depends on kind of biscuits you make. When I'm in a hurry I just make drop biscuits with self rising flour and milk. If I feel fancy, out comes the rolling pin and biscuit cutter.
These gentlemen are a joy to watch. I just love their excitement!
Rana: they eat really healthy food.
Me: *looks down at my gut* wait till my doctor hears this.
In the US, we usually use a mild pork sausage, but, I've also made it with turkey sausage and it's just as good. When I was in the USAF, they used chip beef in the gravy to make SOS, which was served over toasted bread. I loved all the different types. I'm glad these men are enjoying it.
I would much rather have the hamburger gravy than the salty chipped beef gravy they used to serve in the chow hall, still eat it today over biscuits or bread.
@@stevespencer6064 : Yeah, the SOS was sometimes too salty, but it was the color that bothered me most. Still ate it.
These biscuits are what we call “scones” in the UK - except most scones are sweet. You can have savoury ones though.
I love the sound of mince cooked in milk and butter! Must try it.
The American biscuit seems very unique when I explain it to people from other countries. The main difference from scones I've tried is biscuits are soft and more similar to bread. 'Flaky', soft, buttery, not really sweet, bread flavor.
I've been told scone mix made with buttermilk is really close to our biscuits, but you can probably figure it out with a recipe online.
Scones are different. I wouldn't substitute one for the other. Each has its place.
what is mince where i am from we was flour and cooking oil or the grese from the meat then either water or milk or canned cream to make gravy
@@wayneTX
‘Mince’ is what Americans call ‘ground meat’.
Meat put through a mincer into tiny little pieces.
In the UK ‘gravy’ is made from meat juices and meat stock and is always brown. This gravy is more like a savoury white sauce
It was ment for the American homesteader, to give them a hefty breakfast to least for a long days wrk! It is the best! I'm a Native American and we have tribes too. I bet if our tribe were left to evolve like yours we'd be pretty close. A lot of your belief are like ours. Wow!
I make a slightly less artery choking version of biscuits and gravy that you'd never guess was on the lighter side. We still only eat it on special occasions, though.
I started making my own after trying it in several restaurants and diners. I could never seem to find a version that came even close to my mama's or grandmom's.
Seems everywhere I tried it, there was something "off" about it. It was either so thick that you could hang wallpaper with it, or there was no flavor at all. The worst part is that most of the places I tried it, were in the South where I grew up!
How anyone can call themselves a true Southern cook, but not be able to pull off a decent, well-seasoned biscuits and gravy, is downright criminal in my book!
So glad that the guys loved it so much! I feel kinda bad for Rana's daughter-in-law, though. I guess she'd better find out right quick how the TPT chef made this! LOL
I read that as artichokey
The big man in the brown shirt with the blue head covering and white beard is my favorite. I like seeing his reaction to our American foods and hearing what he thinks about them.
I wonder if they ever get a recipe for something like this to take home and cook. would be interesting to know if any food they try has changed their palate or diet in some way.
Rana doesnt need a recipe. Whatever he eats, he can analyze and reproduce!
@@rianamohamed300 that's pretty impressive.
I posted sometime back that they should be given a recipe book in their language of the ones that have ingredients they can obtain.
I love watching people try my favorite meal for the first time, as I eat it I realize how lucky I am to be raised on this
Biscuits and gravy is one of my favorite dishes for breakfast. It looks disgusting but is so damn tasty!
chipped beef better.
Oh man I had to click on this. We got people here in America that don't even know about this southern delicacy. Glad to see it's getting out there. Glad to see these fellas enjoying some classic southern comfort food.
Good gravy has bacon grease, which they can’t eat. I’m sure they’ll find a good substitute. And don’t forget the pepper.
My Mom sometimes used to make gravy with leftover hamburger meat. I am sure they used beef grease.
I prefer sausage.
I love my pork but browning any meat in a pan and then getting that into a sauce tastes amazing. Chicken and dumplings anyone? 🥵
@@CelticSpiritsCoven Me too. But with a family of 4 kids, my Mom never wasted any food.
correct, this isn't correct, its missing the sausage which they cannot have in their diet, but also this gravy is to think, it should be pourable, not lumpy like this. i understand they went with ground beef, but they used to many grams of it.
Two things about this..
#1 - When served biscuits & gravy here in the US, the biscuits are cut or "forked" in half and then the gravy is poured on top of the half just like you would make an "open faced" sandwich.
#2 - The gravy is usually a "country" gravy or sausage gravy, which is always white in color. Not sure what gravy was used here but that is definite NOT white gravy.
That gravy looks dry......fly these guys to the South of US
After being stationed in the South (US Army) I developed a deep love for biscuits & gravy. Tried em in 14 states, and the best I ever found was a little roadside diner in Colorado, a retired couple made Tex/Mex food that was just amazing, the tamales were astounding, but the B & G was out of this world. They've since retired properly, and my quest for the perfect biscuits & gravy carries on. Love these cultural exchange videos, seeing something we consider "everyday" experienced by someone for the first time is great.
It did not look like proper baking powder biscuits, it looked more like hamburger buns.
I've eaten homemade biscuits that looked like that. I'm sure in Karachi someone had to make them from scratch.
@@annainspain5176 Yeah, biscuits can and are made a variety of ways, some people like buttermilk biscuits, some people like them crumbly and dry. Same with the cream gravy, some use milk, some don't, some add the flour with the crumbled pork sausage, some cook the cream sauce separately from the ground pork sausage, strain the sausage and then add it to the cream sauce. Biscuits and gravy is made with seasoned pork sausage in the south. Creamed beef is seasoned crumbled hamburger in a cream sauce. Chipped beef is also popular and is dried beef cooked in a cream sauce and served on toast or biscuits.
The upshot is, it's like Italian tomato sauce and pasta, lot's of variations on the dish.
I find it interesting how much they speak of health and how much these meals will help to make them powerful if they eat them. I'm glad they have the opportunity to try these dishes from the US
These foods are clearly being prepared by a competent chef. That goes far in highlighting what is so enjoyable about each offering.
Well, this is the first time the gentleman are eating something I have never had. I’m glad they all appeared to enjoy it!
Excellent casting of people with different opinions, especially describing the taste. I just found your channel, refreshing and pleasant videos
This is one of my favorite I also like eggs with it ans sausage or bacon
One of the best dishes, for me. It was good to see these gentlemen enjoy a fantastic plate of food. I love hearing their comments regarding each food that they eat. It is a good thing. 😊
This is way too wholesome. Thanks you TPT for the awesome content as usual.
It is so wonderful to watch these men enjoy food from around the world. I get the impression that think that this is only American food, I don't think they understand that America is such a melting pot that we have food from all over the world in 1 country. I do hope they get a chance to share the food they have and are taught about with others. As a retired Executive Chef I always had a saying that love may make the world go around BUT it is food that shares the love of the world
Thanks for sharing this food with our gentlemen. It is originally an American Regional dish, it is Southern.
I don't know how I would have grown to adulthood in the American South without biscuits and gravy. Brown Pinto beans over crumbled cornbread was another staple, with a buttered slice on the side, followed by a piece crumbled in a glass of buttermilk (or plain milk) for dessert. Would be interesting to see the reaction of these fine people to the most common meal of my childhood. :)
I like to chop up tomatoes on top of the biscuits before pouring the gravy on 👍
From southern USA. There should be more gravy than meat. Also gravy should be made with milk and flour. The sausage has enough fat to properly season the gravy. Maybe add a bit of salt pepper and garlic.
We typically eat this meal on a day of rest. So we have the meal as a late breakfast. Don’t eat lunch then have a bigger dinner a bit earlier than usual.
Smiles all around. These guys really touch my heart. Another "thumbs up" from me.
Wish I could make them a good southern style home made breakfast. They wouldn't know what to think lol.
you have discovered heaven, my friends. didn't know about this until i was around 19 or 20.
