We don't always have our biscuits with gravy. Sometimes butter and jelly. I love a breakfast. Sometimes butter and honey on my biscuits or butter and syrup. 😅
I would say much more often biscuits are had without gravy. B&G is great...but more of a meal...where just biscuits with whatever butters/honey/jams/jelly/plain are a starter or side.
@@ChicagoTRSexactly!!!!
Biscuits are just a vessel for many things sweet or savory
And they’re still nothing like a scone. 🙂
Biscuits are commonly eaten: buttered, with something sweet like honey or jelly inside usually buttered first as well, as a breakfast sandwich with sausage patty or fried chicken fillet or …, or with gravy on top usually sausage gravy.
The look of amazement when they learned that they could have put butter and jam on a biscuit......... 🤣
Mimosas are very common alcoholic brunch drinks ... mostly champagne with enough orange juice to make it "breakfast-y"
don't forget the Redneck Mimosa. Beer and Orange Juice. mmmmm
and they're delicious
A mimosa with eggs Benedict on a Sunday mid-morning brunch is heaven.
We commonly eat both savory and sweet biscuit combos. Gravy is just one savory option. Scrambled eggs, hash brown and bacon on a biscuit is another classic option. Butter and jelly or butter and honey. Add maple syrup and it tastes like a pancake. I like to make roast beef sandwiches with them...
Biscuits are for any time! ( a biscuit is Not a scone) Those biscuits are served rather warm. The butter will soften on them.
Yeah those biscuits looked either buttermilk or country style. Both are great in their own right as long as fluffy and moist.
4:58 british couple realizing maybe they messed up ignoring all the sauces and condiments offered on their US trip 😂 biscuits are eaten in various ways, not just only with gravy
Didn’t they also ignore the salsa at a Tex-Mex place?
@@BTinSFyep.
@@BTinSF They eat everything dry. It's actually a little painful to watch.
Biscuits for a side in most US joints for breakfast will be just like this. You only get biscuits & gravy if you order that. Now I say that there is probably some place that always has gravy. But for the most part.
Butter, jam and biscuits are the norm, not everybody does gravy. I have silently screamed often when you didn't butter biscuits.
He's an Italian and very familiar with polenta. He recognized that grits and polenta are very similar. I'm always surprised people don't know they're the same thing. Southern shrimp and grits is probably very similar to shrimp and polenta in Italy.
Yeah, but I can charge 2x as much for polenta than grits.
Many youtubers make a big thing out of biscuits and gravy, probably because it's a gravy you've never considered or known about. Now, don't get me wrong, I make biscuits and gravy fairly regularly and I love it, but most of the U.S. eat biscuits in ways other than with sausage gravy. They can act like a slider bun, where you put meat on them, or they can act like a near dessert, with butter and jelly (jam), or butter and syrup and/or honey. Also note these big breakfasts were most popular prior to the Industrial Revolution, where people bulked up before heading out to do physical labor all morning. Most people won't eat a big breakfast like this anymore and reserve it for special occasions or a brunch.
A. There are no foods that are 'only' for a specific meal. Any food can be eaten for any meal and is often done. Like grits for dinner or fried chicken for breakfast. It's just that some foods are commonly eaten at specific meals.
B. It doesn't matter which foods are eaten together. The only real rule for American food is that it tastes good. Ingredients don't matter, mixing foods don't matter, al long as it tastes good....
Chicken and waffles is any time of day.
The cubed potatoes are spiced and seasoned then pan fried to make the outside crispy.... They are commonly called 'Country potatoes'
Gravy is just one thing for biscuits. We often have them with butter and jam or honey. But some just make a breakfast sandwich, sausage biscuit or bacon, country ham ect
Even most fast food places have breakfast sandwiches on their breakfast menus. At least sausage biscuits and chicken biscuits.
Biscuits and gravy are usually for breakfast but for lunch or dinner most people put butter or butter and jam/honey on their biscuits.
Clearly said it was a Mimosa several times.
People eat biscuits with jam. People eat biscuits with all sorts of things. People don't just eat biscuits with gravy. I personally like ham and biscuits.
Loveless cafe is a historic cafe outside of Nashville, Tennessee
Everyone has a "Happy Dance", enjoyed seeing theirs. Great food can do that.
We are a country that is 40 times the size of the UK, there are so many iconic breakfasts, and even in the south there are lots depending on the state.
You have Biscuits and Gravy, Chicken/Southern Fried Steak and Eggs, Chicken and Waffles, Ultimate Breakfast with ham and bacon and eggs, you have Steak and Eggs, you have Pancake Platters, you have Breakfast Skillets that are Country Potatoes covered with your choice of toppings like Eggs, Bacon, Steak, Green Chili, and even Country White Gravy, serve on a personal sized skillet.
You have Breakfast Burritos, you have Toast and Eggs and lots of other things.
Not to mention Crepes, Cereals, the list goes on.
We eat biscuits woth honey, butter, jam, whatever lol
To each their own but buttery grits that are perfectly cooked with salt and pepper makes the best breakfast side dish. It's so much better than beans, tomatoes, and mushrooms which is what you'd typically find on an English breakfast.
The sausage patties (if there were any biscuits leftover) go inside a biscuit added eggs, gravy etc. A breakfast casserole has 🥚🧀 🥓🍖🥔(🧅🫑) 🧈/🥛and is baked usually a weekend meal or for a special meal (Christmas morning)
We are very diverse and non-congruent populace. Even each area has doverse cuisine
I live about a mile from the Loveless Cafe and my son has been a server there for about 6 years. He says it's a great place to work because he gets to meet so many interesting people from all over the world
I think something I've learned the most from watching British reactors is ways in which our cultures are different. One of those differences is how we approach eating and food choices
It seems like have kind of these standards about how you eat foods the same way every time
In America the only rule is try it you might like it and feel free to add or take away anything you want to add gravy don't add gravy, but put fried green tomatoes on your sandwich, it try every kind of sauce There is on the table just to see what you like it on. There really are no right or wrong ways to eat in America
The Loveless is a really good restaurant for homemade type recipes good Southern cooking. It's A step above the franchise places like cracker barrel or waffle house so if you ever get to Nashville
Another reason to go to the Loveless is because you get out of the downtown tourist area and you get to see how the real people live out in the suburbs. It's a beautiful area lots of big rolling hills lots of trees lots of greenery. Hope you get to try it someday
Grits are wonderful if it’s cheesy grits I’ll add a pinch of salt and pepper…
If regular grits, I’ll add a good dollop of butter and maybe a light sprinkle of sugar,
Mimosas are very nice especially at brunch (between breakfast and lunch)..champagne and orange juice!..very nice treat..I’d love to visit the Loveless Cafe
Yes buck fizz and mimosas are generally considered the same drink by bartenders.
Biscuits work many different ways. Many people eat them with jelly or honey. Usually have biscuits and gravy along with mashed potatoes for dinner.
James remember we are like a bunch of different countries with each region different. So, it depends on where they are as to what exactly they eat for breakfast. And we don't just eat the same thing every day for breakfast.
Scones are NOT Biscuits. Scones are made as a Quick Bread with a high ratio of water to flour, and uses no butter and are either sweet or savory. Biscuits have a high ratio of butter and are folded over and over again to achieve light fluffy layers once baked.
There's nothing wrong with the butter....you are supposed to put it on your biscuit, toast, pancakes, waffles or whatever...while they are hot so the butter melts into them.
I wouldn't want to just pour melted butter on my biscuits like you do on popcorn
I think biscuits with jelly (which is not the same as jam or preserves, but similar, and definitely nothing like gelatin) and butter may be more common than biscuits and gravy. Biscuits with a sausage patty is also pretty common. If you went to any grocery store in America, near the dairy section you would have seen a ton of selections for canned biscuits and now there are also plenty of frozen biscuits as well. They are a huge part of American breakfast any way you have them. I've not seen chicken and waffles for breakfast anywhere myself. The only place I've seen them are for lunch or dinner but I'm sure you can eat them anytime.
it's fairly common for places in the US that serve butter on the side for things like this to have a whipped butter which is butter that has air beaten into it to make it fluffy and easy to spread without having to have it melted.
Plus biscuits are served warm.
I can’t stand biscuits and gravy, but love biscuits for breakfast sandwiches and with butter and honey or fruit spread.
Butter and jelly, butter and syrup, butter and honey, or butter and molasses. We like our biscuits many ways. Even just a warm biscuit with melted butter is amazing. Biscuits with gravy is just a bonus.
There is actually an alcoholic beverage that is served with breakfast, called a Mimosa. That’s what they’re drinking. It’s made with orange juice, and champagne or sparkling wine.
For me, I prefer jelly/jam rather than gravy on biscuits. Oh, honey and butter is simply amazing!!! It's your choice. Growing up Mom would take left over biscuits from the day before, slice them and toast them for breakfast the next morning! Toasting a biscuit with butter and then adding jelly takes them to a new level!! Omg, bringing back childhood memories!!lol
Breakfast out, eggs,bacon sausage,hash browns and pancakes.
That butter is perfect because the coldness of the butter and the warmth of the biscuit go so good together. Melted butter is also great, cold butter is the best here.
Our school lunches way back in the day always served sweet rolls and a dab of cold butter. I used to LOVE putting that cold butter onto that cold sweet roll and eating it! I loved the fact it did not melt!
Pimento cheese is a southern thing. I live in Washington state but part of my family is from the south. When we have big meals like around Thanksgiving or Christmas we make sure to have it but it is a pain trying to find pimento cheese around here because it isn't popular.
In case you're wondering why these southern breakfasts were so hardy, it's because until the middle of the last century, most people were involved in some way with agriculture/ farm work which was very hard and in every extreme of weather. You needed a meal to berry you through the morning and sometimes lunch as well. The food is items common on a farm.
I like the famous spun honey and buyer on my biscuits... and on toast... and sometimes just Avocado toast hits the spot. Mmmmm
It is very common to put jam, jelly, honey or butter on biscuits depending on what you are in the mood for. In fact it is way more common than biscuits and gravy since the dish isn’t as readily available outside the south.
Not sure where you are from, but I am not from the south and we have had biscuits and gravy readily available my entire life.
We have biscuits and gravy in New England area of the US
@@marydavis5234in NJ also. The diner near me is famous for their biscuits and gravy.
Thanks for the correction. I didn’t realize biscuits and gravy had become more “mainstream”. When I was growing up in S. California (back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth😂) I never knew anyone who ate the dish and never noticed it on any menus at the time. I only encountered biscuits and gravy after moving to Texas.
I guess a better example of the point I was trying to make originally is that Brits eat beans on toast but that isn’t the only thing they use toast for … just like most people here have used other condiments on biscuits on a regular basis that didn’t include gravy.
There are a LOT of regions in the South: they don't share all the same foods, and sometimes the foods they share look quite different from region to region. Biscuits and gravy is in vogue right now, but when I lived in the South, I saw a lot more biscuits served as a sandwich with some sort of meat (usually sausage or ham). Again, it varies a lot region to region. The breakfast they show in this video looks like what I'd expect to see in Tennessee.
Grits are wonderful if it’s cheesy grits I’ll add a pinch of salt and pepper…
If regular grits, I’ll add a good dollop of butter and maybe a light sprinkle of sugar,
Mimosas are very nice especially at brunch (between breakfast and lunch)..champagne and orange juice!..very nice treat
to warm up your butter, place it in your hand and it will be softer butter and easier to spread. just remember to not unwrapped until it slighter soft in your palm of your hand
Hashbrown casserole is made from shredded potatoes, cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup, sour cream and grated cheese, salt and pepper. It is amazing and super simple. You guys can make pimento cheese.....all it is is grated cheddar cheese, diced pimento peppers, mayo, salt and pepper.
Southern biscuits are nothing like a scone. Like apples and oranges nothing comparable.
Mimosas are usually served with brunch.
I l8ve those breakfasts. They are so delicious
Fried Green Tomatoes are surprisingly good. You wouldn't think so, but the act of deep frying them brings out the tomato taste, but because they're unripe, they don't turn to much like a ripe one would.
That is a true southern breakfast and we put jelly jam, preserves, or apple butter on our biscuits and of course sausage gravy. I live right outside of Nashville and I’m telling you that is a southern breakfast.
There is no typical American breakfast it’s a huge country there are hundreds of varieties of American breakfast
You can eat a variety of things on a biscuit, like sausage patty, honey, just butter, butter and jam or jelly, chocolate gravy, ham and cheese, egg /ham and cheese, beef gravy, chicken gravy, stewed chicken ….just to name a few.
I had a cousin that use to sack up all the leftover biscuits head out to the back 40 and raid the beehives. Nothing better.
I like over-medium eggs coarsely cut onto grits with black pepper and of course butter. Toast or english muffin is used to soak up any yolk that escaped during the process. Black coffee sometimes with OJ. Sometimes a fake meat sausage. Sometimes with fruit.
There are so many combinations depending on where you are and what they offer.
As most people have commented, it is very common to eat biscuits with butter and jelly. Growing up, we never had biscuits and gravy at home for breakfast. My family would either make egg and sausage biscuit sandwiches or biscuits with butter and jelly along with a plate of eggs and sausage. Actually, we had more than jelly from which to choose. My dad likes grape jelly, mom likes marmalade, and I prefer apple butter or honey. My favorite involves breakfast tacos. It's all about eating whatever you like.
Just to let you know most Americans eat their biscuits like scones, with jams or honey. Biscuits are not just for biscuits and gravy.
Bless your heart, there is no wrong way with Southern Breakfast. Add a little squirrel or rabbit and you get Country Cookin'.
To make Cheesy Eggs, all you have to do is add a bit of shredded cheese to your eggs when cooking them. And close to when they're done cooking. You just need to add it soon enough to allow the cheese to melt into the almost cooked egg.
If we always ate biscuits with gravy it wouldn't be called biscuits and gravy. It would have a name.
Mimosa is a Brunch thing. We do NOT have them for breakfast....we have just straight juice, or coffee, or milk. Drinking Mimosa's is a RARE thing...so much..that I've never even had one in all my years.
The Loveless Cafe is in Nashville. On the Southwestern outskirts, right by the Natchez Trace Estates subdivision. Address is 8400 TN-100. Less than 4 miles (straight as a crow's fly) from my sister's place in Bellvue.
James you're wrong, Millie is right 😂😂😂. Mimosas pretty good usually a drink on brunch menu. Normal breakfast most everyday. Think they are in Tennessee, so even considered a southern state different than true South.
There is no "American Breakfast." Some people eat yogurt and fruit.Some have eggs and toast.Many have oatmeal with various topics.
There is a stereotype of Americans eating overly sweet pancakes and plates piled high with sugary and fatty foods.
Butter just needs to be room temperature. At room temperature the butter is still solid but it spreads very easily on a biscuit or toast
Any food coming out of the kitchen in a place like that is seasoned enough already. No extra salt and pepper needed 😂😂
I put cheese on everything humanly possible 😂
This kind of breakfast would be something we do on a Saturday/Sunday event. Mimosas are a mix of orange juice and champagne and quite frankly a wonderful combination for a good breakfast like this. My only issue with this amount of food and alcohol this early in the day is it leads into an afternoon nap that usually leaves me confused on what time and day it is when I wake up.
On Mothers Day we pour champagne over half a peeled peach and add orange juice. Liquor is the only way for me to get thru the brunch.
My friends warm it up by putting the wrapped pat of butter under their paper coffee cup.
Not surprised he put country ham in 3rd place. He may be comparing it to prosciuto or coppa. It is quite different being smoked and much saltier. But I personally love it and it’s very popular in the regions where they make it: Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee. It is an artisanal product made in small batches and the process really can’t be scaled up successfully.
Take a biscuit hot from the oven, poke a hole in the top but not all the way through, then pour molasses into the hole you made. The perfect breakfast on a cold morning. Have it with a cup of hot chocolate or hot tea. That’s what I used to do when I was a kid. My mom cooked every morning so us kids could have a real breakfast before starting the day.
oh hell yeah, there’s nothing like some good molasses
We'll have breakfast for dinner. I have scrambled eggs with cheese and garlic, bacon and toast. My Husband has 2 eggs over easy, bacon and toast. It's about time we have it again. Will never eat eggs without cheese and garlic again.
They do a lot of good food videos around the U.S. and it is nice getting an Italian's perspective on our food in America. I always hear Europeans say that "Italians are super picky eaters." So nice to see what a guy born in Italy who is married to an American thinks of different foods in the U.S.
Actually Alessio Pasini was born in Tennessee but moved back to Italy at a very young age and grew up in up in Italy. So he had birthright US citizenship before he even met Jessi.
@@AdamNisbett I didn't know that, I only started watching their videos a year or two ago when I saw them popping up from time to time. Then I saw people reacting to them and made it more interesting. Just because someone is born somewhere doesn't doesn't mean they remember everything from that country. I fought in Iraq in the U.S. Army and I, I actually remember most of it so I will stop right there lol.
@@erichallada910 yeah, I agree that Alessio’s experience is basically pure Italian. But he’s just not technically a “guy born in Italy”.
@@AdamNisbett I didn't really say he was born in Italy I just said he was Italian. kind of like I am Polish, German and Russian. Doesn't mean I was born in those countries at the exact same time. Technically I am more "American" than most here because I served in the military, unlike the other 99% of the U.S. population who never served a day in their life.

A good whipped or honey butter is my preference over a half frozen chunk. 😆 You can’t go wrong with just some honey drizzled over the top either. I love biscuits and gravy but they are a treat for every once in a while.
These two have a wonderful channel
I used to make bisquits and then spread butter, boysenberry or olallieberry jam inside them, we are talking heaven!
Biscuits are served warm. The butter will be fine.
You must understand that biscuits are eaten without gravy a lot of the time. Next watch how to eat pancakes and waffles and the correct application of butter and syrup.
They have a video of him trying Nashville Hot Chicken for the first-time. Which is very funny
Wonderful channel for The Beesley's to react to!
I believe when you have “other things” for breakfast, you are expanding your horizons..your choices..giving your taste buds a treat…because in the United States from Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific..from upper Michigan down to Sweetwater..from Georgia to Vermont…it is all delicious..you just need to “try it”..For breakfast…there is no…improper breakfast..
I always eat biscuits with butter. I like scones too. The difference I find is that biscuits are more bready, especially when made with butter milk. Scones to me are more cakelike.
I actually like the contrast with cold butter and hot biscuits
My Wife make 2 Kinds of Biscuits.
1 is like Kentucky Fried Chicken Biscuits which are soft and doughy on the inside and perfect for Jelly, Jams or Preserves.
The other is beefier, less doughy, more cake like that sop up Gravy like A Sponge..
BOTH are excellent .

Hmmm think i'll have breakfast for dinner lol . Great video James and Millie!
A mimosa is what we usually have with BRUNCH but not every breakfast. We have Bellini's also which is peach juice or peach nectar & champagne or prosecco, or my favorite Asti Spumante mixed is really special too. Whenever I've had grits i always put butter & a little sugar on them & mix it up & it's much better.
Mimosa & Bellini's are so amazing. 🍊🍑🥭🍐+🍾=🥂so good but don't get drunk😂
Biscuits and gravy are not eaten as much as biscuits with sweet toppings, or biscuits as a side with savory meals. Y'all just got wind of biscuits and gravy so now you think it's a staple food in the USA. It's not. And American biscuits are absolutely NOT your scones. They are not even slightly the same.
bisquits dont have to have gravy on them. can buy them in the store made into a breakfast sandwich. breakfast is just the first meal. can have anything for breakfast
Grits with butter and a little salt. Don’t care for cheese.
Buttermilk biscuits smothered with Country gravy with sausage. We Scandinavians even do that up here in Minnesota.
And real country ham and authentic red eye gravy. That we don’t do up here, but I wish we did. Heaven
Soft butter is nice bur inbet those biscuits are still warm so it should melt as you eat
The ingredients in a British scone are the same as in an American biscuit, but in different amounts.
In the USA, we eat biscuits with butter and jelly, jams, preserves, marmalades. Yes, they are all different.
A mimosa is usually a sparkling wine (champagne, Prosecco) and orange juice. Some make it with white wine.
One usually does not eat sausage gravy with biscuits and other breakfast meats in the same meal.
I prefer yellow grits over white grits. I’m not a big fan of cheesey grits. Yellow grits are made from yellow corn and white grits are made from white corn.
The hardest thing to get used to is watching people using a fork upside down. It just looks weird.
I've worked behind the line at some breakfast joints....in America we have a butter gun. Basically shoots four even lines of perfectly melted butter across your toast...don't know if it would work on a biscuit tho and heck yes you should try mimosas typically around 11am after a night out👍
Pimento cheese is one of those things that are hit or miss. I LOATHE pimento cheese. But my parents LOVE it. I suppose there are people who can take it or leave it, but I haven't met any. Though to be fair, I haven't gone out of my way to poll people on their attitude towards the stuff.
You had cheese on your grits, but you did not mix it in, it really makes a difference.
Poor Millie, you have to explain so much to him.
In regards to your early comments....
Biscuits are AMAZING with gravy, however....
They are also AMAZING as part of a sandwich, topped with butter and honey, topped with jam, by itself (if cooked right).
Biscuits are amazing when done right, boy howdy!
We are in middle of probably an hour drive from Loveless 9:10 Cafe. I'm good with Cracker Barrel for breakfast because I didn't need many choices. I like Cracker Barrel biscuits and gravy. But I do love lunch or dinner at Loveless. Southern cooking and great choices.
The Lovelace Cafe is truly the best! It's near Naahville.
I'm from Austin. You went to Cafe 1431. It's pronounced Fourteen Thirty One....named for the road it is on. 🙂
Pimento Cheese is a Sharp Cheddar Cheese salad with with red pimento peppers in it. We used to have a container of it all the time, but I was never a big fan of it. The sharp Cheddar taste just is not my thing. I just remember my Middle School science teacher was a diabetic and he'd have a half of a pimento cheese sandwich every so often during the day to keep his blood sugar up. I think he was a Type-1 Diabetic, because he was a pretty tall and lanky dude.
