It's origin was farms and ranch family food. It is a heavy, hearty food that will fill you up and give you energy for hard work. Plus it scales up easy not much difference to making a meal for one than a meal for 20 long as you have a way to make the biscuit 😊
Biscuits and butter and Jam are good or just buttered biscuits. Though biscuits and gravy to me more of a breakfast thing but biscuits can be eaten any time of the day and easy to take as a snack to eat on the road.
Sausage gravy is so easy to make. Cook up some sausage. After its cooked add 3 tablespoons of flour. Cook for a minute and add about 2 to 3 cups of milk. The flour will thicken the gravy. Salt and pepper to taste. Quick and easy. Sausage gravy in a nutshell. Biscuits on the other hand. A little more involved.
@@nickjreacts it is easy , for a first timer i would recomend pulling the sausage out of the pan after cooking and leaving the grease and oil in the pan for the flour this will let you see and mix the flour till its a golden brown add your milk mix and let it thicken then add the sausage back to the gravy. once you get used to what your looking for you can start leaving the sausage in the pan.
@@BradleyDavid1962yea, scones blow, no offense intended. They're more like a crappy bread cookie thing. A Southern Biscuit has a firm top, pillowie soft, buttery, dense flour dough center, perfect for adding/accompanying anything. From gravy to sauces to drippings to jellies jams and preserves to using as a bun to anything your little heart desires! Like cornbread, the uses are endless! Cornbread with a roast beef stew or chilli....make a Bishop kick out a stained glass window, son!
If you come to the states, just make sure you're in the South or the biscuits and gravy were prepared by a southerner to get the authentic flavor. All food in the states are not created equally
Working in restaurants, we used regular black tea & simple syrup to make SWEET tea and it's always served over ice. There's unsweet tea and sweet tea, they are not the same thing. Scones & biscuits are not the same thing, no matter how many times Ollie & Josh say they are the same lol nope nope nope
10:20 "The meal emerged as a distinct regional dish after the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), when stocks of foodstuffs were in short supply. Breakfast was necessarily the most substantial meal of the day for a person facing a day of work on the plantations in the American South.[7] In addition, the lack of supplies and money meant it had to be cheap."
It's popular now, but it always has been in the US South. Biscuits were and are a Southern staple. That or cornbread. My Grandma taught me to make those when I was very young. It's not hard to make from scratch, just takes a few steps if you want to try it. When people were settling, if they had a bag of flour or corn meal and some fat they could make a meal from either type of quick bread plus some hunting. Cultures get attached to their unique breads, lol, not just us.😊@@nickjreacts
I would say on the FARMS not plantation. Most Southern farmers after the American Revolution owned small farms. Large "plantations" were few and mostly on the coast and rivers.
It helps to remember our “Biscuits” evolved from Hardtack rations, and then American cooks made them taste good over time. Also, the word Cookie comes from Dutch “keokje” or “little cakes”. Remember that the English captured New Amsterdam from the Dutch, and renamed it New York in 1664, so we’ve always had Dutch colonists too.
Country fried steak is like a steak that is tenderized by poking dozens of holes in it, the dipped in a batter and deep fried. Its a way to eat a cheap tough cut of beef with lots of spices and a crunchy coating.
@@nickjreactsMy favorite meal Chicken/Country (both names are used depending on where you are) Fried Steak with mashed potatoes and cover both with cream gravy (minus the sausage) with a vegetable on the side. Yum
Main difference is Southern Sweet tea you only use lemon if you want at the end. you do not add cream or milk to it. Southern Sweet Tea is brewed sweet and you serve it in ICE..Biscuits and gravy is mostly served for breakfast because the gravy is made with minced or ground up breakfast sausage. Biscuits themselves can be served at any meal.
👍🙂❤️ The reason their Sweet Ice Tea is so sweet is because their Sweet Ice Tea has no Ice. This would have made it “cold” and “less sweet”. They didn’t know Ice Tea NEEDS ice. 👍🙂❤️
@@nickjreacts 👍🙂❤️ Americans generally drink ice in everything, so our soft drinks and Sweet Tea are MUCH sweeter (they need ice) than in Europe. Thanks for sharing your videos. 👍🙂❤️
Yeah, cause for Americans who go to a restaurant that has a big sweet tea dispenser it’s just understood that you put ice in your cup first then pour over the sweet tea. Which is why they said it was like syrup. 🫠Um, it better be cause as it mixes with the ice the level of syrupiness diminished
Breakfast has a giant following for biscuits. It is also a brunch, early lunch, lunch and dinner. American food is all about what goes good with what. Like chicken biscuits mac &cheese or fish chicken and hushpuppies.
Chicken fried steak, or country fried steak (same thing) is not like a fried sirloin. It's typically flank steak or some other tough cheap cut that you mash the hell out of with one of those meat hammers to thin it out and make it tender. Then you batter it and pan fry it. In more European terms, chicken fried steak = Texas beef schnitzel
American tea is normally a mixture of orange pekoe and black tea. Brewed then poured over ice with sugar to taste (the amount of sugar varies greatly) , when I order tea usually ill order half unsweetened and half sweetened to reduce the sugar, which can be overwhelming. Most retail sweet tea are overly sweet.
Yes it's eaten mainly at Breakfast but Americans will make it anytime they feel the want for it. No Americans do not usually dunk their Cinnamon Biscuit into their Coffee.
Most foods like this have been around since the Great depression era here in the USA (1930s), when people had to use what they had to survive. A lot of flour and other baking goods were distributed to poor families and they made up some interesting meals from it which turned out to be a main staple in the following years.
US American biscuits were created well before the Great Depression but, Yes, many of our comfort foods came out of it. Although a lot of Southern comfort foods came from the slave era and are related to Soul food.
1:51 It's not a chicken burger. It's a chicken sandwich. A chicken burger is a very specific dish. Meat in a burger bun is not automatically a burger. Burger refers to the meat, NOT the bun. For it to be a burger, it needs to be ground meat (you guys call it "mince") in the shape of a burger patty, whether it's a classic beef burger, ground turkey burger, ground pork burger etc. So, for it to be a chicken burger, it has to be ground chicken in the shape of a burger patty. Then and only then is it a chicken burger. If it's just a solid slab of chicken meat, then it's a chicken sandwich.
I grew up eating biscuits and gravy several times a week in the morning. It’s a staple if you’re from the south. I can eat it anytime in the day. It doesn’t matter.
We only tell the world that we eat junk food and fast food, while we are actually eating some of the best foods in the world. Well, the secret is finally getting out apparently. 2:30 The tea is the same except we put ice in it. no milk.
Skirt steak is usually used for chicken fried steak (called that because the method used to fry chicken is used to fry the steak) depending on taste and quality of beef to how well done the beef s
You can do biscuits and gravy whenever.....there's no one time for it, but it started off made in the morning because when you fry bacon, then eggs and you have extra grease in the skillet, you add flour and milk with pepper and salt...boom!..gravy! Pour over biscuits, bada Bing, bada boom, ya done!
How to make gravy. Fry a meat (usually bacon, pork chop, or sausage) in a skillet. When meat is finished, drain excess grease but leave some bits of meat in the skillet and about 1/2 a centimeter of grease in the skillet. Continue heating but lower temperature. Add a skift (a dusting) of flour throughout the pan along the top of the grease. When it begins to slightly brown, slow pour milk or whole cream in the skillet and gently stir to desired thickness and brownness. The longer you stir and cook the thicker it will get. When you reach the desired consistency, turn off temperature and serve hot over fluffy homemade buttered biscuits. It is not low calorie or low in fat. But it is delicious. This was how I learned by from parents and grand parents. Making biscuits are their own science and every family does them slightly differently. My grandmother took a bowl of self rising flour and patted a hole in the middle where she would pour some shortening, butter, and milk (or buttermilk), and folded the flour into the mixture in the middle until it was just doughy enough to form. She would then roll it into a ball that would somewhat lose its shape when it was dropped onto a baking pan. She'd bake a dozen or so biscuits on the pan at around 375 farenheit, and pull them from the oven when they were golden brown on top and fluffed up to their maximum fluffy height. My grandmother made the best bisuits I've evern had to this day. She is long since gone and it is one of the things I miss most about our visits.
I feel like biscuits and gravy is the equivalent of beans on bread in the UK. Being from the southwest biscuits and gravy is like a super common go to breakfast. I have never tried beans and bread. Rofl
There is a fast food place called Biscuitville where I grew up. While waiting in line you could see the biscuits being handmade through a window. Biscuits and Gravy is my all time favorite food. Great memories. I hope you get to try it soon!
Soda biscuit, not yeast roll. Thick creamy gravy with lots of breakfast sausage bits and a little black pepper. You make the gravy from the drippings of the fried breakfast sausage.
Southern sweet tea. you have to add the sugar when it's HOT, because the amount of sugar you can dissolve into the tea is higher while its boiling. sweet tea in the south has more sugar than a soda
No one actually knows how old biscuits and gravy are! There are claims dating them to the Revolutionary War, and others that say they were invented in Appalachia in the late 1800s. But because they were considered "poor people food," they're not really mentioned in cookbooks until the 20th century. We may never know for sure. We do know they're delicious, though! And VERY filling lol, that was enough food Jolly bought for at least four or five people to be very full. American tea is mostly the same as English tea, though we're much less likely to put milk in it. In the South it's very different, though: it's made with a TON of sugar, served cold over ice, and never with milk.
There have been hard times in America just like everywhere and biscuits just take flour, milk and butter to make. Most folks could get their hands on pork sausage and the grease was used with flour and milk or even water to make gravy. Nothing wasted and it would fill you up and give you energy to work all day.
The difference between Southern (American) Tea and British Tea is British tea is warm and calming, while Southern Iced Tea is cold, sweet and refreshing. And to answer a further question, "biscuits and gravy" is definitely a breakfast food that can be eaten whenever you like!
I always hear British people saying gravy is brown. I wonder? Don't you make gravies from every type of meat you cook ? Beef , pork gravy from Roast, chicken or turkey gravy. This is pork sausage gravy. You just use the drippings from any meat and the caramelized pan to make the gravy. Roux, water, milk or cream depends. It will be whatever color it finishes at. Unless you cheat ...
What makes the gravy white is more about the fact that you add cream than the type of meat the drippings come from. I think that Brits rarely if ever do cream gravy.
I've made a new gravy with mushroom soup and chicken and black olives ground up in a blender and and pepper, garlic, with basil. You can switch pepper for lemon pepper.
Brits only have one type of gravy, brown gravy (beef). So, when they see gravy that's not brown (i.e. not beef), they get totally confused and say _"oh, that's not gravy."_ It's so strange. Like, gravy is not JUST beef. It can be made from literally ANY meat (chicken, turkey, pork, beef, sausage or even vegetable gravy) and the process to make all these types of meat gravy is basically the same. Flour added to whatever meat drippings you have, plus water, seasonings etc. I mean, Brits have NEVER tried to make any other type of gravy? Like how can a culture be so oblivious to different types of gravy? Gravy is like jam, there's no one flavor. There's grape jam, strawberry jam, blueberry jam, blackberry jam etc. Just like there's chicken gravy, turkey gravy, beef gravy etc. It baffles me that this needs to be explained on every British person's video. God, their palate is sooo limited.😄
@rustincohle2135 It reminds me of the vids where they have British students try different foods (like American) and one of the things I've heard multiple times is "I hope it's not spicy" or "I can't do spicy" 😆💀 Spice is like their kryptonite. Conquered half the world for its spices and still only used salt & pepper
In the USA breakfast sausage is strongly sage seasoned (I like the extra sage kind). It adds so much complexity to the flavor! Then again, I'll eat hamburger gravy or plain milk and black pepper gravy on a crumbled biscuit in a heartbeat!
Biscuits and Gravy are usually eaten for breakfast, however I've been known to make it for supper when I have a craving for it. Nothing better during a cold winters day.
Southern sweet tea is typically a black or orange pekoe tea and has about two cups of sugar per 12oz glass. That's an exaggeration, but if you imagine that it'll probably give you a pretty good representation of the taste.
in the US, if they filter out the pulp it's jelly and if not it's jam. If there's any pieces of the peel it's a marmalade (usually only see w/citrus fruits.)
Jelly in the US is often made with fruit juice, sugar and pectin. I’ve made apple jelly and quince jelly. Also have made apple butter, which is made from peeled fruit that is mixed with sugar and spices cooked down till it thickens to a paste. You don’t see a lot of marmalade in the US, mostly jellies, jams, preserves (fruit is cut in larger pieces than for jam), and butters.
It's ice cold -- I cannot believe they didn't have any ice in it! LOL We call it Ice Tea - you can get sweet tea or half and half tea (what I get) - or unsweetened tea! All cold. Yes, biscuits and gravy is usually a breakfast food because the gravy is made with ground sausage...BUT, like eggs or bacon etc., we do breakfast for dinner sometimes! Biscuits and gravy are always good!
Biscuits and Gravy is typically made using Breakfast sausage, but can be eaten anytime of day and for/with any meal, but it is commonly eaten at breakfast
Nick, the biscuits in this are what my mom called baking powder biscuits, and they're just like how these guys describe them--so good! This is described as a breakfast, but it could be eaten at any of the 3 times. The rest of the world seems to think that we Americans all go to McDonald's 3 times a day to eat. But, that assumption couldn't be farther from the truth. There are so many regional cuisines available here, it's mind boggling: Gullah-Geechee, Southern, barbecue styles from all across the country, Cajun/Creole, Southwestern, Hawaiian, Alaska Native, TexMex, ad infinitum.
Biscuits and gravy is definitely a breakfast food and is a meal to itself. It’s great with scrambled eggs. I like the gravy on the side. I’ve never been able to finish an entire plate. It’s very filling, definitely comfort food.
I am from Houston Texas. Our chicken fried steak is our gift to the rest of the world. Enjoy my brother from across the pond. By the way, my biscuits and gravy will knock the tongue out of your mouth. Biscuits and gravy with sausage and a side of bacon is the best breakfast you could ever possibly have don’t give me wrong. I do love a good English breakfast, but if you’ve never had biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon brother, you have not lived.
Every weekend my Dad would cook us kids biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, fried potatoes with onions and eggs. It was the best meal ever. It’s usually for breakfast but can be served for any meal at any time. Biscuits and gravy have been around since forever.
Biscuits and sausage/white gravy is an old staple. Really popular in the depression era; cheap ingredients, quick to make in large quantities, and tasty and very filling. Stretches out a limited supply of sausage.
I love biscuits in gravy. It’s something you can have for breakfast as a main, the gravy and biscuits go good as a side for lunch and dinner… it’s a feel good food for people who grew up with or without it, it’s just a good food for anyone.
The steak is tenderized heavily. They are called cube steaks in tx. You season the flour before you fry it and its usually served topped with gravy. I love it with tomato gravy and cream gravy.
it got popular during the great depression, a fairly affordable meal for most poor folks. the south kept the tradition going once things got better because the south has a large population of poor people who still make it to save money and found ways to make it not always the same old dish. that is why you must eat biscuits and gravy only in the south, where it is authentic.
I'm a Southerner (U S.), and the tea is made extra strong and extra sweet because it is meant to be served over lots of ice, which cuts some of the sweetness. I make both biscuits and scones. Biscuits are generally made with buttermilk and I always use White Lily self-rising flour because it just has the best texture. They are fluffier than scones and usually savory. I bake biscuits with cheddar cheese in the center for breakfast. For the gravy, I fry bulk sausage (like a fresh sausage without the casing) and then stir flour into the drippings and let it cook for a minute and then add milk, salt, pepper, and I like a bit of sage and cayenne pepper. Then, just simmer until it's thickened and serve it over a split biscuit.
Biscuits and gravy - like several soul food dishes - may not always be the most beautiful thing in the world to look at, but it is comforting and nearly always delicious. I think I’ve actually heard it described once as a “hug on a plate”.
"Biscuits and gravy" is basically crumbled sage/breakfast sausage (many other types are used too) in a pepper/cream sauce, served over American biscuits, which are savory and fluffy. You can add some herbs if you like, fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, green onion, sage, are pretty common herbs to add-in or garnish with. It looks like slop, but it's soooo delicious! Our tea is pretty similar, it's a black tea like what you guys use-- but we brew it really strong and stir in a lot of sugar while it's hot, then let it cool. Usually it's served with ice, sometimes lemon.
For a quick sample - use biscuit mix (Bisquick or Pioneer or any baking mix), one package gravy mix and milk, pepper to taste, add crumbled American breakfast sausage if you wish.
Country fried steak or chicken fried steak, is a tenderized cut of steak that has been tenderized by running it through a special machine (the butcher does this and we buy it prepackaged as "cube steak") . Dredge the steak in egg/milk mixture, the dredge in flour, the egg again and a final dredge in flour. Pop into a deep fryer until the batter is golden brown. Drain on paper towel and cover with cream gravy.
You can have biscuits and gravy whenever you want it (You can make it at home). Most times, people have it at breakfast/brunch. I never used to like it as a kid, but now as an adult I love it! Biscuits and gravy have been around for a lonnnnng time...lol!
My mom remembered her mom making it when she was little. Mom was born in 1918. It is usually a breakfast food on the menus. Though some places will serve it all day. It is also an inexpensive dish to make as well as fast. Unexpected company for dinner - biscuits and gravy. A little bit of sausage, milk and biscuits. If you can't afford milk the gravy can be made with water instead. Sweet tea equal amounts of sugar and water. Cook on stove top until sugar is dissolved. Use the syrup as the sweetener in you tea.
There’s a few simple recipes for the biscuits and the specific gravy is called Sausage gravy . Which is thicker and sometimes made with cream or just regular milk
We use a mixture of orange and black pekoe tea leaves. I have made sweet tea with a very strong brewed earl Grey and it was really good. You can try that. Strong brew about a liter of earl Grey and put about a quarter cup sugar once dissolved pour over ice. It will give you a good idea of what we drink here in the south.❤
Biscuits are great alone. You can add butter inside after cutting them like a sandwich, and/or add jam, preserves, honey, etc. A lot of fast food restaurants have breakfast sandwiches which are biscuits with some combination of sausage patty, bacon, ham, an egg and cheese.
Just give it a try to make it. There are so many recipes online. Once you've practiced a few times you'll want to make them again and again. I have to make it at least once a month. All you need for the biscuits themselves is flour, baking soda, frozen chopped butter, salt, buttermilk and about a tablespoon of white vinegar. The key is to not overmix and to fold it about 8-10 times. Super simple. The prep time before it goes in the oven is like 5-10 minutes.
You can find Scones at some Grocery Stores here in the US (i've had some) and they are ok but sitting down to a plate of American Bisquits and White Sausage Gravy for breakfast will put a smile on your face and it will make you happy you got up that morning !
The gravy is made with milk and US breakfast sausage. It's delicious!!! There are recipes online that are pretty good. Also here 'southern tea' is sweet tea and always cold.
Here in Tennessee we add spicy local sausage bits. That's the magic! Yes biscuit and gravy is mostly for breakfast but can be also had anytime of day really
Get a large pitcher (4 liters) that can handle hot liquid, a large sauce pot, 7-10 bags of black tea, 200ish grams of sugar, and a source of water. Fill your pot with water and immediately drop in all of the tea bags. Heat until boiling, stirring occasionally. While waiting on the tea, pour your sugar into your pitcher. Once your tea is boiling, scoop out the tea bags and discard them. Turn off the stove, and pour your tea into the pitcher with the sugar. Fill the pitcher the rest of the way with cool water and refrigerate until cold. Serve on ice, garnish with lemon wedge.
I could eat Biscuits and Gravy at any time of the day up until about 4 pm. When I'm on vacation I tend to order from the breakfast menu until late afternoon (especially if we're doing a junky chain like Denny's for the Grand Slam breakfast).
Country fried steak (aka Chicken Fried Steak) is a piece of flank steak pounded thin, then it is breaded (dipped in an egg wash, then flour), then fried until GBD (Golden Brown and Delicious)
Subbed now that you are onto American food. Hope you enjoy what you see and take that as inspiration to come and try all of them. Such amazing food all over this great country. Take care Nick
American Biscuits with sausage gravy can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. Most of us have our personal preference. There are so many different ways to enjoy biscuits, they are savory, lightly crispy on the outside, soft in the inside. We have never had an iced biscuit before but based on this video it is worth to give it a try! Go on and give it try, preferably in one of the Southern States, we enjoyed biscuits and sausage gravy in New Orleans, LA at a place called Wila Jean. It's up to you, give it a try, you won't be disappointed. I enjoyed your video reaction! Peace. ☮
Where you want to go is Texas. You can hit the trifecta - biscuit and gravy for breakfast, Tex Mex for lunch and barbeque for dinner. Elastic waist pants will help.
I live on the West Coast in Oregon and you could get biscuits and gravy but it’s not as much of a sensation as it probably is down south. But, it IS fairly common to get chicken fried steak with sausage gravy. Chicken fried steak is made from what’s called cube steak. “…a cut of Top Round or Top Sirloin that's been tenderized, (pounded with a textured mallet), which leaves small indentations on the meat. This helps break down the muscle fibers, which makes it less tough and more tender.” When I make cube steak, a.k.a.: chicken fried steak, I dredge it in seasoned flour, dip it and beaten egg and then dredge it and seasoned flour again and drop it into hot fat… My favorite fat to use is actual lard. It’s cooked pretty fast so the steak doesn’t dry out, and if I had to compare to anything I would compare it to a German Wienerschnitzel, which is veal or pork… You can even use chicken… which has been pounded flat and prepared as I described. Oh and because I grew up in a family who hunted big game like black tailed deer, mule deer etc. my favorite chicken fried steak is made with venison. My mom could make the best venison chicken fried steak on the planet! And I get such a kick out of all these videos of Brits saying that gravy can’t be white. Oh yes it can. And I’m certain that it’s made in England too but they don’t call it gravy, they call it béchamel sauce or white sauce. You can find a recipe for making it anywhere on the Internet. It’s an old standby. White sauce is the base for anything you might want to do with it. If you want to find out how sausage gravy is made you can do a Google search and instantly will find more than one recipe. you make it and you will be making a sausage béchamel sauce or gravy.

@@tvc1848You can do it with links. Simply take off the casing and chop up the meat.

In the North we usually drink iced tea without any sugar in it, and maybe a lemon slice. @@nickjreacts
I always order my iced tea unsweetened then I sweeten it to my liking.

The two guys from Jolly and the Korean Englishman have a video where they feed southern biscuits and gravy to a bunch of british schoolboys.
Oh yeah that’s on the list to react to! Will be doing that one soon
LMAO! God bless the internet!
American biscuits are like the bastard child of a scone and a puff pastry. They're magical.
I can’t wait to try them!
no
Someone in the comments on another reaction described the origin of biscuits as a scone that saw a croissant and said “I can do better.”
you forgot naughty
They are nothing like a scone. A scone has eggs and sugar. Biscuits are flour, shortening or butter and buttermilk. That’s all
10:20 "The meal emerged as a distinct regional dish after the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), when stocks of foodstuffs were in short supply. Breakfast was necessarily the most substantial meal of the day for a person facing a day of work on the plantations in the American South.[7] In addition, the lack of supplies and money meant it had to be cheap."

It's popular now, but it always has been in the US South. Biscuits were and are a Southern staple. That or cornbread. My Grandma taught me to make those when I was very young.

Biscuits and gravy are really really good. It doesn’t look palatable, but it surprises people who haven’t tried it.
Good biscuits and grave would make a puppy pull a freight train. train.
Any country that looks at beans on toast and goes, wow, that looks good. Has no right to complain about how biscuits and gravy look.
Main difference is Southern Sweet tea you only use lemon if you want at the end. you do not add cream or milk to it. Southern Sweet Tea is brewed sweet and you serve it in ICE..Biscuits and gravy is mostly served for breakfast because the gravy is made with minced or ground up breakfast sausage. Biscuits themselves can be served at any meal.
Ok so it is a breakfast thing
@@nickjreacts Yes primarily biscuits and gravy is a breakfast thing yes
I'm from Texas, last night I had "breakfast" for dinner, scrambled eggs, sausage and homemade biscuits with butter & honey ( no milk for the gravy 😢)
@@jerrytipps9278 Yep I am originally from Atlanta Georgia and live in Ohio and sometimes I have cereal for dinner. :) 😀
Who in the f**k puts milk in tea?! I'd kick them out of my house if they did that! I'd be afraid they had parasites. So gross!
👍🙂❤️
The reason their Sweet Ice Tea is so sweet is because their Sweet Ice Tea has no Ice. This would have made it “cold” and “less sweet”. They didn’t know Ice Tea NEEDS ice.
👍🙂❤️
Oh so it should of had ice
@@nickjreacts
👍🙂❤️
Americans generally drink ice in everything, so our soft drinks and Sweet Tea are MUCH sweeter (they need ice) than in Europe. Thanks for sharing your videos.
👍🙂❤️
Yeah, cause for Americans who go to a restaurant that has a big sweet tea dispenser it’s just understood that you put ice in your cup first then pour over the sweet tea. Which is why they said it was like syrup. 🫠Um, it better be cause as it mixes with the ice the level of syrupiness diminished
Yeahhhh sweet iced tea is iced, lol.
@@emilyb5307 yeah to translate into british, its like ordering bangers and mash with no potatos and wondering why it only tastes like sausage.
Breakfast has a giant following for biscuits. It is also a brunch, early lunch, lunch and dinner. American food is all about what goes good with what. Like chicken biscuits mac &cheese or fish chicken and hushpuppies.
Mac & cheese is one of my favourites
Chicken fried steak, or country fried steak (same thing) is not like a fried sirloin. It's typically flank steak or some other tough cheap cut that you mash the hell out of with one of those meat hammers to thin it out and make it tender. Then you batter it and pan fry it.
In more European terms, chicken fried steak = Texas beef schnitzel
American tea is normally a mixture of orange pekoe and black tea. Brewed then poured over ice with sugar to taste (the amount of sugar varies greatly) , when I order tea usually ill order half unsweetened and half sweetened to reduce the sugar, which can be overwhelming. Most retail sweet tea are overly sweet.
Yes it's eaten mainly at Breakfast but Americans will make it anytime they feel the want for it. No Americans do not usually dunk their Cinnamon Biscuit into their Coffee.
Yeah not sure about dunking it in coffee lol
And cinnamon biscuits with icing aren't really a thing. A biscuit themed restaurant might come up with that as a dessert , but nah.@@nickjreacts
Donuts, cookies, biscotti, cinnamon rolls, coffee cake …
Only plain donuts though. You guys get carried away.
Most foods like this have been around since the Great depression era here in the USA (1930s), when people had to use what they had to survive. A lot of flour and other baking goods were distributed to poor families and they made up some interesting meals from it which turned out to be a main staple in the following years.
That’s when the best food is made
US American biscuits were created well before the Great Depression but, Yes, many of our comfort foods came out of it. Although a lot of Southern comfort foods came from the slave era and are related to Soul food.
1:51 It's not a chicken burger. It's a chicken sandwich. A chicken burger is a very specific dish. Meat in a burger bun is not automatically a burger. Burger refers to the meat, NOT the bun. For it to be a burger, it needs to be ground meat (you guys call it "mince") in the shape of a burger patty, whether it's a classic beef burger, ground turkey burger, ground pork burger etc. So, for it to be a chicken burger, it has to be ground chicken in the shape of a burger patty. Then and only then is it a chicken burger. If it's just a solid slab of chicken meat, then it's a chicken sandwich.
I grew up eating biscuits and gravy several times a week in the morning. It’s a staple if you’re from the south. I can eat it anytime in the day. It doesn’t matter.
Biscuits and gravy are usually breakfast. (though so good I'll eat it any time of day)
If the food is good why not
We only tell the world that we eat junk food and fast food, while we are actually eating some of the best foods in the world. Well, the secret is finally getting out apparently.
2:30 The tea is the same except we put ice in it. no milk.
I will be trying all American food when I can travel over
Hook up with your American fans and get a family to sponsor you. Nuthin' beats good old fashioned American home cooking!
I like this statement! 😊 agreed
Skirt steak is usually used for chicken fried steak (called that because the method used to fry chicken is used to fry the steak) depending on taste and quality of beef to how well done the beef s
You can do biscuits and gravy whenever.....there's no one time for it, but it started off made in the morning because when you fry bacon, then eggs and you have extra grease in the skillet, you add flour and milk with pepper and salt...boom!..gravy! Pour over biscuits, bada Bing, bada boom, ya done!
Oh yes that makes sense! It’s something I would love to try
On the topic of the sweet tea, yes you should have ice in it, but if you add a splash of lemonade to it, it really brightens the drink up
How to make gravy. Fry a meat (usually bacon, pork chop, or sausage) in a skillet. When meat is finished, drain excess grease but leave some bits of meat in the skillet and about 1/2 a centimeter of grease in the skillet. Continue heating but lower temperature. Add a skift (a dusting) of flour throughout the pan along the top of the grease. When it begins to slightly brown, slow pour milk or whole cream in the skillet and gently stir to desired thickness and brownness. The longer you stir and cook the thicker it will get. When you reach the desired consistency, turn off temperature and serve hot over fluffy homemade buttered biscuits. It is not low calorie or low in fat. But it is delicious. This was how I learned by from parents and grand parents.
Making biscuits are their own science and every family does them slightly differently. My grandmother took a bowl of self rising flour and patted a hole in the middle where she would pour some shortening, butter, and milk (or buttermilk), and folded the flour into the mixture in the middle until it was just doughy enough to form. She would then roll it into a ball that would somewhat lose its shape when it was dropped onto a baking pan. She'd bake a dozen or so biscuits on the pan at around 375 farenheit, and pull them from the oven when they were golden brown on top and fluffed up to their maximum fluffy height. My grandmother made the best bisuits I've evern had to this day. She is long since gone and it is one of the things I miss most about our visits.
You want to have a more sage-forward sausage, for a truly American taste.
One of my most prized possessions is my gramma's biscuit bowl. Every time I make biscuits I can almost feel her hands guiding me.
The funny thing about biscuits and gravy when you really think about it is that its just dry flour covered in wet flour 😂
We use brown gravy here in the U.S. too. We use it mainly to put over meat like beef or poultry.
My favorite breakfast meal. ✌️
Country fried steak is tenderized with a tenderizing mallet breaded and deep fried I'm usually covered with white sausage gravy absolutely delicious
It sounds so good
I feel like biscuits and gravy is the equivalent of beans on bread in the UK. Being from the southwest biscuits and gravy is like a super common go to breakfast. I have never tried beans and bread. Rofl
There is a fast food place called Biscuitville where I grew up. While waiting in line you could see the biscuits being handmade through a window. Biscuits and Gravy is my all time favorite food. Great memories. I hope you get to try it soon!
Soda biscuit, not yeast roll. Thick creamy gravy with lots of breakfast sausage bits and a little black pepper. You make the gravy from the drippings of the fried breakfast sausage.
It just sounds good, when I visit America it’s on the list of things to try
Southern sweet tea. you have to add the sugar when it's HOT, because the amount of sugar you can dissolve into the tea is higher while its boiling. sweet tea in the south has more sugar than a soda
The South is known for its biscuits and sweet tea. Delicious!
No one actually knows how old biscuits and gravy are! There are claims dating them to the Revolutionary War, and others that say they were invented in Appalachia in the late 1800s. But because they were considered "poor people food," they're not really mentioned in cookbooks until the 20th century. We may never know for sure. We do know they're delicious, though! And VERY filling lol, that was enough food Jolly bought for at least four or five people to be very full.
American tea is mostly the same as English tea, though we're much less likely to put milk in it. In the South it's very different, though: it's made with a TON of sugar, served cold over ice, and never with milk.
There have been hard times in America just like everywhere and biscuits just take flour, milk and butter to make. Most folks could get their hands on pork sausage and the grease was used with flour and milk or even water to make gravy. Nothing wasted and it would fill you up and give you energy to work all day.
Yeah but become a great food
The difference between Southern (American) Tea and British Tea is British tea is warm and calming, while Southern Iced Tea is cold, sweet and refreshing. And to answer a further question, "biscuits and gravy" is definitely a breakfast food that can be eaten whenever you like!
Biscuits and Gravy 100% a breakfast thing. Or a late night snack...... Very manageable, no matter the time of day.
I always hear British people saying gravy is brown. I wonder? Don't you make gravies from every type of meat you cook ? Beef , pork gravy from Roast, chicken or turkey gravy. This is pork sausage gravy. You just use the drippings from any meat and the caramelized pan to make the gravy. Roux, water, milk or cream depends. It will be whatever color it finishes at. Unless you cheat ...
What makes the gravy white is more about the fact that you add cream than the type of meat the drippings come from. I think that Brits rarely if ever do cream gravy.
I've made a new gravy with mushroom soup and chicken and black olives ground up in a blender and and pepper, garlic, with basil. You can switch pepper for lemon pepper.
Brits only have one type of gravy, brown gravy (beef). So, when they see gravy that's not brown (i.e. not beef), they get totally confused and say _"oh, that's not gravy."_ It's so strange. Like, gravy is not JUST beef. It can be made from literally ANY meat (chicken, turkey, pork, beef, sausage or even vegetable gravy) and the process to make all these types of meat gravy is basically the same. Flour added to whatever meat drippings you have, plus water, seasonings etc. I mean, Brits have NEVER tried to make any other type of gravy? Like how can a culture be so oblivious to different types of gravy? Gravy is like jam, there's no one flavor. There's grape jam, strawberry jam, blueberry jam, blackberry jam etc. Just like there's chicken gravy, turkey gravy, beef gravy etc. It baffles me that this needs to be explained on every British person's video. God, their palate is sooo limited.😄
@rustincohle2135 It reminds me of the vids where they have British students try different foods (like American) and one of the things I've heard multiple times is "I hope it's not spicy" or "I can't do spicy" 😆💀 Spice is like their kryptonite. Conquered half the world for its spices and still only used salt & pepper
The south tea is sweet and ❄️ cold
Biscuits and gravy are an anytime thing and also country fried steak is as well. They are my absolute two favorite things to eat.
Country fried steak sounds sooooo good I need that in my life
@@nickjreacts Easy to make. Get cheap steak, pound it flat with a tenderizing mallet, coat it in a breading (recipies on the web) and fry.
It’s cheap and easy. And a comfort food. In parts of the south we also do chocolate gravy and biscuits.
Chocolate? That sounds good
The biscuit and gravy is usually served at breakfast time or you can eat it at anytime you want to
In the USA breakfast sausage is strongly sage seasoned (I like the extra sage kind). It adds so much complexity to the flavor!
Then again, I'll eat hamburger gravy or plain milk and black pepper gravy on a crumbled biscuit in a heartbeat!
Biscuits and Gravy are usually eaten for breakfast, however I've been known to make it for supper when I have a craving for it. Nothing better during a cold winters day.
Southern sweet tea is typically a black or orange pekoe tea and has about two cups of sugar per 12oz glass. That's an exaggeration, but if you imagine that it'll probably give you a pretty good representation of the taste.
in the US, if they filter out the pulp it's jelly and if not it's jam. If there's any pieces of the peel it's a marmalade (usually only see w/citrus fruits.)
Jelly in the US is often made with fruit juice, sugar and pectin. I’ve made apple jelly and quince jelly. Also have made apple butter, which is made from peeled fruit that is mixed with sugar and spices cooked down till it thickens to a paste. You don’t see a lot of marmalade in the US, mostly jellies, jams, preserves (fruit is cut in larger pieces than for jam), and butters.
Every time I see one of these vids I wonder how Brit’s make it through life without having this food 😂
I don’t know myself lol
It's ice cold -- I cannot believe they didn't have any ice in it! LOL We call it Ice Tea - you can get sweet tea or half and half tea (what I get) - or unsweetened tea! All cold.
Yes, biscuits and gravy is usually a breakfast food because the gravy is made with ground sausage...BUT, like eggs or bacon etc., we do breakfast for dinner sometimes! Biscuits and gravy are always good!
That’s why I was confused, I thought it was warm tea
@@nickjreacts Rarely can you get warm tea in a US restaurant.
You have to specifically request it.
We don't have to specify iced tea in the South. You just order sweet tea.
Biscuits and Gravy is typically made using Breakfast sausage, but can be eaten anytime of day and for/with any meal, but it is commonly eaten at breakfast
There is never a wrong time to have biscuits and gravy - breakfast, lunch, dinner, all acceptable 😄
Good to go at anytime! Sounds good
On the tea: US "iced" tea is served cold and very sweet unless you ask for "Unsweetened." It's typically orange and/or black Pekoe.
Nick, the biscuits in this are what my mom called baking powder biscuits, and they're just like how these guys describe them--so good!
This is described as a breakfast, but it could be eaten at any of the 3 times.
The rest of the world seems to think that we Americans all go to McDonald's 3 times a day to eat. But, that assumption couldn't be farther from the truth. There are so many regional cuisines available here, it's mind boggling: Gullah-Geechee, Southern, barbecue styles from all across the country, Cajun/Creole, Southwestern, Hawaiian, Alaska Native, TexMex, ad infinitum.
Biscuits and gravy are the best. Like a warm hug on a cold day.
(Goats cheese is EXCELLENT!)
Biscuits and gravy is a complete meal that can be enjoyed at any hour of the day...
So a anytime is good food
Breakfast...yup
I'm 62... Biscuits & Gravy for AT LEAST that length of time.
Sorry about your Granny kiddo.
Biscuits and gravy is a special breakfast. Like when you have a Sunday roast. It is something you do have on the weekend when visiting grandma.
Biscuits and gravy is definitely a breakfast food and is a meal to itself. It’s great with scrambled eggs. I like the gravy on the side. I’ve never been able to finish an entire plate. It’s very filling, definitely comfort food.
I can’t wait to try it
It is usually served as a breakfast food, but you can make it anytime.
A anytime food is the best food!
*Biscuits and gravy are a Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Snack, Dinner and Supper thing; and it's been around for a few hundred years.*
I am from Houston Texas. Our chicken fried steak is our gift to the rest of the world. Enjoy my brother from across the pond. By the way, my biscuits and gravy will knock the tongue out of your mouth. Biscuits and gravy with sausage and a side of bacon is the best breakfast you could ever possibly have don’t give me wrong. I do love a good English breakfast, but if you’ve never had biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon brother, you have not lived.
Every weekend my Dad would cook us kids biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, fried potatoes with onions and eggs. It was the best meal ever. It’s usually for breakfast but can be served for any meal at any time. Biscuits and gravy have been around since forever.
Biscuits and sausage/white gravy is an old staple. Really popular in the depression era; cheap ingredients, quick to make in large quantities, and tasty and very filling. Stretches out a limited supply of sausage.
I have a little Mom & Pop restaurant two blocks from me. I have Biscuits and Gravy every Saturday morning. They have the best in the area.
I love biscuits in gravy. It’s something you can have for breakfast as a main, the gravy and biscuits go good as a side for lunch and dinner… it’s a feel good food for people who grew up with or without it, it’s just a good food for anyone.
The steak is tenderized heavily. They are called cube steaks in tx. You season the flour before you fry it and its usually served topped with gravy. I love it with tomato gravy and cream gravy.
it got popular during the great depression, a fairly affordable meal for most poor folks. the south kept the tradition going once things got better because the south has a large population of poor people who still make it to save money and found ways to make it not always the same old dish. that is why you must eat biscuits and gravy only in the south, where it is authentic.
It’s something I 100% want to try! Thank you for the comment
I love my
Biscuits with butter topped with Karo syrup! My grandma used to make this for me.
I'm a Southerner (U S.), and the tea is made extra strong and extra sweet because it is meant to be served over lots of ice, which cuts some of the sweetness. I make both biscuits and scones. Biscuits are generally made with buttermilk and I always use White Lily self-rising flour because it just has the best texture. They are fluffier than scones and usually savory. I bake biscuits with cheddar cheese in the center for breakfast. For the gravy, I fry bulk sausage (like a fresh sausage without the casing) and then stir flour into the drippings and let it cook for a minute and then add milk, salt, pepper, and I like a bit of sage and cayenne pepper. Then, just simmer until it's thickened and serve it over a split biscuit.
You need to have lots of ice with the sweet tea. It makes it more refreshing and calms down the sugar content. Cheers!
Killing me with the pants conversation 😂
Biscuits and gravy - like several soul food dishes - may not always be the most beautiful thing in the world to look at, but it is comforting and nearly always delicious. I think I’ve actually heard it described once as a “hug on a plate”.
"Biscuits and gravy" is basically crumbled sage/breakfast sausage (many other types are used too) in a pepper/cream sauce, served over American biscuits, which are savory and fluffy. You can add some herbs if you like, fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, green onion, sage, are pretty common herbs to add-in or garnish with. It looks like slop, but it's soooo delicious!
Our tea is pretty similar, it's a black tea like what you guys use-- but we brew it really strong and stir in a lot of sugar while it's hot, then let it cool. Usually it's served with ice, sometimes lemon.
For a quick sample - use biscuit mix (Bisquick or Pioneer or any baking mix), one package gravy mix and milk, pepper to taste, add crumbled American breakfast sausage if you wish.
Country fried steak or chicken fried steak, is a tenderized cut of steak that has been tenderized by running it through a special machine (the butcher does this and we buy it prepackaged as "cube steak") . Dredge the steak in egg/milk mixture, the dredge in flour, the egg again and a final dredge in flour. Pop into a deep fryer until the batter is golden brown. Drain on paper towel and cover with cream gravy.
You can have biscuits and gravy whenever you want it (You can make it at home). Most times, people have it at breakfast/brunch. I never used to like it as a kid, but now as an adult I love it! Biscuits and gravy have been around for a lonnnnng time...lol!
Food that feels like a warm hug. That's is Soul food baby!! ❤
My mom remembered her mom making it when she was little. Mom was born in 1918. It is usually a breakfast food on the menus. Though some places will serve it all day. It is also an inexpensive dish to make as well as fast. Unexpected company for dinner - biscuits and gravy. A little bit of sausage, milk and biscuits. If you can't afford milk the gravy can be made with water instead. Sweet tea equal amounts of sugar and water. Cook on stove top until sugar is dissolved. Use the syrup as the sweetener in you tea.
There’s a few simple recipes for the biscuits and the specific gravy is called Sausage gravy . Which is thicker and sometimes made with cream or just regular milk
We use a mixture of orange and black pekoe tea leaves. I have made sweet tea with a very strong brewed earl Grey and it was really good. You can try that. Strong brew about a liter of earl Grey and put about a quarter cup sugar once dissolved pour over ice. It will give you a good idea of what we drink here in the south.❤
3:55 this brings to mind a song lyric COUNTRY FRIED BABTISED IN GRAVY
Biscuits are great alone. You can add butter inside after cutting them like a sandwich, and/or add jam, preserves, honey, etc. A lot of fast food restaurants have breakfast sandwiches which are biscuits with some combination of sausage patty, bacon, ham, an egg and cheese.
Just give it a try to make it. There are so many recipes online. Once you've practiced a few times you'll want to make them again and again. I have to make it at least once a month. All you need for the biscuits themselves is flour, baking soda, frozen chopped butter, salt, buttermilk and about a tablespoon of white vinegar. The key is to not overmix and to fold it about 8-10 times. Super simple. The prep time before it goes in the oven is like 5-10 minutes.
You can find Scones at some Grocery Stores here in the US (i've had some) and they are ok but sitting down to a plate of American Bisquits and White Sausage Gravy for breakfast will put a smile on your face and it will make you happy you got up that morning !
The gravy is made with milk and US breakfast sausage. It's delicious!!! There are recipes online that are pretty good. Also here 'southern tea' is sweet tea and always cold.
I’m look forward to trying biscuits and gravy
Here in Tennessee we add spicy local sausage bits. That's the magic! Yes biscuit and gravy is mostly for breakfast but can be also had anytime of day really
Get a large pitcher (4 liters) that can handle hot liquid, a large sauce pot, 7-10 bags of black tea, 200ish grams of sugar, and a source of water.
Fill your pot with water and immediately drop in all of the tea bags. Heat until boiling, stirring occasionally. While waiting on the tea, pour your sugar into your pitcher. Once your tea is boiling, scoop out the tea bags and discard them. Turn off the stove, and pour your tea into the pitcher with the sugar. Fill the pitcher the rest of the way with cool water and refrigerate until cold. Serve on ice, garnish with lemon wedge.
Biscuits & Gravy with two scrambled eggs on top! Oh hell yes.
I could eat Biscuits and Gravy at any time of the day up until about 4 pm. When I'm on vacation I tend to order from the breakfast menu until late afternoon (especially if we're doing a junky chain like Denny's for the Grand Slam breakfast).
Biscuits and gravy are for whenever you want them! There is NO specific time, just THE time to eat them! 😂❤
Country fried steak (aka Chicken Fried Steak) is a piece of flank steak pounded thin, then it is breaded (dipped in an egg wash, then flour), then fried until GBD (Golden Brown and Delicious)
You have no idea how good biscuits & gravy really is. Plain peppered gravy, pork sausage gravy, chipped beef gravy, MMMMMMMMMMMM 😋😍🥰
Subbed now that you are onto American food. Hope you enjoy what you see and take that as inspiration to come and try all of them. Such amazing food all over this great country. Take care Nick
American Biscuits with sausage gravy can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. Most of us have our personal preference. There are so many different ways to enjoy biscuits, they are savory, lightly crispy on the outside, soft in the inside. We have never had an iced biscuit before but based on this video it is worth to give it a try! Go on and give it try, preferably in one of the Southern States, we enjoyed biscuits and sausage gravy in New Orleans, LA at a place called Wila Jean. It's up to you, give it a try, you won't be disappointed. I enjoyed your video reaction! Peace. ☮
It's a sausage béchamel (usually you use half chicken stock for dinner or just milk for breakfast) variation on a savory scone
Where you want to go is Texas. You can hit the trifecta - biscuit and gravy for breakfast, Tex Mex for lunch and barbeque for dinner. Elastic waist pants will help.
I live on the West Coast in Oregon and you could get biscuits and gravy but it’s not as much of a sensation as it probably is down south. But, it IS fairly common to get chicken fried steak with sausage gravy.
Chicken fried steak is made from what’s called cube steak. “…a cut of Top Round or Top Sirloin that's been tenderized, (pounded with a textured mallet), which leaves small indentations on the meat. This helps break down the muscle fibers, which makes it less tough and more tender.”
When I make cube steak, a.k.a.: chicken fried steak, I dredge it in seasoned flour, dip it and beaten egg and then dredge it and seasoned flour again and drop it into hot fat… My favorite fat to use is actual lard.
It’s cooked pretty fast so the steak doesn’t dry out, and if I had to compare to anything I would compare it to a German Wienerschnitzel, which is veal or pork… You can even use chicken… which has been pounded flat and prepared as I described. Oh and because I grew up in a family who hunted big game like black tailed deer, mule deer etc. my favorite chicken fried steak is made with venison. My mom could make the best venison chicken fried steak on the planet!
And I get such a kick out of all these videos of Brits saying that gravy can’t be white. Oh yes it can. And I’m certain that it’s made in England too but they don’t call it gravy, they call it béchamel sauce or white sauce. You can find a recipe for making it anywhere on the Internet. It’s an old standby. White sauce is the base for anything you might want to do with it. If you want to find out how sausage gravy is made you can do a Google search and instantly will find more than one recipe. you make it and you will be making a sausage béchamel sauce or gravy.
