My God people, we have brown gravy too.😂 White gravy is just one variety of gravy we have..... beef- dark brown,chicken -tan,pork-tan,sausage (white) and plain white (no sausage).
As we Americans We also have turkey gravy.
british people have no variety so they cant even comprehend how much we have here. white gravy is for a few specific dishes, its actually pretty rare outside of the south.
@@RFredrickPhotography yes, I knew I forgot something 🤤
As a Canadian, we have red gravy for moose, elk and buffalo, black gravy for seal and walrus, and a very deep orange gravy for any type of bear, whether it be black, grizzly or polar.
I won't even get into all the crazy gravies our Newfoundlanders are into.
Cheers.
it makes me laugh too bc our brown grave also has more flavors than their regular gravy😂
Never had heard of anyone having bad biscuits and gravy …someone did you dirty…a good biscuit is never dry
Try again , they’re the bomb!!!
Bob Evans has horrible biscuits and gravy.
The white gravy in the U.S. is typically known as country gravy, sausage gravy, or sawmill gravy (the difference being what’s added…. i.e. sausage gravy is made with bits of sausage and the drippings, whereas sawmill gravy is made without the sausage bits, but still contains the drippings.)
you forgot breakfast gravy lol but yeah they are all the same
We called it milk gravy.
And then there’s red-eye gravy made with ham drippings & coffee
Don’t forget fried chicken gravy made the same way when used on rice or mashed potatoes. Very traditional southern. Very savory.
The gravy for biscuits and gravy is basically a Béchamel sauce. After cooking the sausage you add flour to the sausage and fat to create a roux and then add milk and cook until thickened. Then it is seasoned with salt and a lot of black pepper. The basic recipe is 1 pound of ground breakfast sausage, broken up well and cooked until browned and all the fat has been rendered. Add 1/2 cup flour to the pan with the sausage and mix to create a roux. cook the roux untill the flour has just slightly turned a golden color and then stir in 4 cups of milk. Continue to to cook on medium heat until the gravy has thickened stirring often to lift the flour from the bottom and side of the pan. Add salt to taste and a generous amount of black pepper.
I'm not sure they can get our type of breakfast sausage in the UK. I've seen LOTS of videos, and it's always link sausage. The closest I've seen is uncooked link sausage that can be cut out of the casing, but I'm not quite sure how it's seasoned - Sage? Chile flakes? Thyme? Black pepper? I just don't know.
No 1 sits around eating dry biscuits lol.
They are vessel for butter honey gravy jams jellies etc.....
You wanna open those biscuits before you pour gravy over them lol .
4:00 Most of the time you would pour breakfast sausage gravy over a biscuit split in half.
The gravy is made with browned sausage (American breakfast sausage..ground pork with spices such as black pepper, sage, ground coriander, etc). You use the drippings and flour to make a roux, then add milk and let it cook until it's thickened.
In America, gravy isn’t just gravy. It’s a good group of its own. We have many different kinds of gravy, including what the English call gravy. Many types. Sausage gravy is cream based, made with the dripping of country sausage and sausage itself. It’s one of my favorite foods of all time. And goes amazingly well with fried chicken.
I'm sorry G had a bad experience with biscuits and gravy. She should try again when y'all come visit!
And as far as gravy goes, we have many different gravies and sauces. Depends on the meal!
As far as I know there's two types of gravy served over biscuits, sausage gravy and country gravy. Sausage gravy is prepared by browning ground breakfast sausage, then without draining the fat add flour to thicken it up, then milk until the desired consistency is achieved, and season with salt and pepper. Country gravy (my favorite) is adding flour to the grease and bits left over from frying bacon to form a roux, than add milk and season as above. I prefer to add sausage to country gravy rather than make sausage gravy because sausage gravy tends to turn out a greyish color as opposed to country gravy which is a more visually palatable off white cream.
Country gravy sounds a lot better. I think the reason I hate biscuits and gravy is that I almost always see it with sausage gravy. I also hate breakfast sausage, so it makes sense.
The "But beans on toast" comment always gets me as an American because I've been over to England and had beans on toast, and I could not disagree more lmao
id put American baked beans on toast. id pass on beans in tomato sauce though
I wonder how Adian is going to react when he lands in the USA and they check his passport and say welcome home. "I don't remember living here" -Adian
I am sure he is using his UK passport. They would not know he has US citizenship. He can get a US passport if he wanted to.
@@LancerX916well he’d save $21 using his U.S. passport and have to get the electronic travel authorization (ESTA). And he’d have a quicker entry and less hassle using the U.S. citizen passport customs control
Sweetbreads are the thymus gland
I like my biscuits with jam or jelly as well.
Real biscuits are never dry. We’d have them as dinner rolls at Thanksgiving or random gatherings. Very buttery and very delicious. I’m a CT girl…we don’t have biscuits and gravy up here. 😂 P. S. Daz, I add Frank’s to my beans. 👏🏼
I've had plenty of true, made from scratch biscuits that were dry. I've had plenty that tasted like crap.
You are making a highly ridiculous claim lmao
I put Frank's on my biscuits and gravy, hell I put Frank's in my soup, eggs, pastas, I even put it on peaches. It is like the add says"I put that shit on everything".
"real biscuits are never dry"
No, that is a straight up lie.
Depends who's making them!
So this would be what we call "Sawmill Gravy" here. It's browned breakfast sausage, then you make a roux with butter and flour in the fat of the browned sausage, and add milk/cream to finish the gravy. Adding a lot of black/white pepper for seasoning. It's savory and a bit creamy.
Ayeee, you all are coming into my hometown of Atlanta! Awesome, definitely some great food places around the city.
I say this every time: sausage gravy = browned sausage + bechamel
No no guys you have to make a stop in philly an go to D’Alessandro’s for some cheesesteaks 👍🏼👍🏼
England is not the only place with beown gravy we have multiple types of brown gravy and sausage gravy isnt our staple gravy😅
sweetbreads are cow thalmus glands, and they are actually amazing. Like the juicest chicken nugget, but with the flavor of veal.
Biscuits and gravy is always winner. If in North Carolina never order tea. It tastes like watered down maple syrup, and they won’t even offer unsweetened tea. It’s diabetes in a cup.
Welcome soon to the south. GA native here. Enjoy your time in our great state.
Biscuits & gravy is one of my fav breakfast items… Also, I love chicken with country gravy
White gravies are similar to béchamel with black pepper. Sausage gravy is white gravy made with the sausage drippings and with some of the sausage patties crumbled into it.
The Beesleys tried an instant mix.
Was more pepper gravy than sausage I think, but close enough given the practicalities if you want to watch.
There’s also a channel for Barry Lewis, who’s a cook I guess, who made and tried a version. Made some mistakes but it seemed reasonably close considering. The main advantage of that one is he essentially recreated our breakfast sausage, he didn’t know we cook it as patties but still it’ll give you an idea of the flavor.
That's all I order whenever I eat out for breakfast. I love that stuff.
We have the same gravy as you guys, we just apparently have many different types. We normally have two types of "white gravy", country and sausage. Sausage grayv is basically country gravy with sausage in it. But we do have the traditionally runny brown gravy that we reserve for mashed potatoes and turkey or roasts. When you come to the US besides trying biscuits and gravy, you should try country fried chicken or steak that's topped with country gravy....it's soooooo good and I could eat it everyday if I could.
At Dairy Queen (a ice cream/burger fast food franchise) they serve their chicken tender basket with a side of country gravy (like the sausage gravy but without the sausage bits). I'm a ranch or hot sauce type of chicken eater but the gravy was actually super good with it!
Some people if they make a bad batch of biscuits they will will be dry, but most the time if you cook them right they will be flakey and soft moist.
Daz is like that Frank’s red hot commercial I put that shit on everything
You know the drill 😂
The US has brown gravy, as well.
The white gravy is known as "sausage gravy", or "country gravy". It's a flour-based gravy. It's made with black pepper, milk, and sausage meat. Hence "sausage" in "sausage gravy". That's also why it's chunky in this video.
the sausage gravy is peppery so it has a great spice to it (if done right) and goes fantastically with the chicken
It’s gravy w sausage. It’s delicious ❤😂
You must visit Savannah, Georgia!!! Daz you would love the Rail Pub in Savannah.
That Sweet Tea/Sweetie exchange with the waitress is hilarious. Bloke probably thought she was hitting on him. 😂Reminds me of the time we were about to have a luau in college. I went up to some worker guys who were setting up and said “Hi, can I get a lai?” They all just stared at me with mouths agape. After a long pause, One guy goes “You want a what?” I said “You know. A lai” and I gestured like the necklace around my neck. They did a collective “oohhh”. Then they were like we don’t have any. That’s when it dawned on me how they had interpreted what I said as a lay. Then one guy joked he was just about to the other guys to step back. We all laughed 😂😂
I love biscuits and gravy. It took me 50 years moving from CT to Oklahoma. My word. The gravy has sausage and pepper that makes it tasty.
I lived in the South for several years back in the day and there's nothing better than biscuits and white sausage gravy. Truly delicious comfort food and by the way Aidan, the sausage gravy is pretty spicy. You'd probably like it, just sayin'. It always has a spicy kick.
I should've added that since you mentioned you're going to possibly visit the South then you must have chicken and waffles. When they're done right, they are amazing. Also, Southern shrimp and grits. You can have them for breakfast or dinner it doesn't matter they are delicious.
Coffee gravy as well is yummy. We also eat jelly, jam or even cheese. All are great.
The southern sweet tea I was raised on to make a pitcher was about 12 teabags boiled in a saucepan pan poured over a cup of sugar or more lol stirred until dissolved and then add water to fill.
Fried chicken and biscuits with gravy.. 🤤 yummo! The best! Paired with sweet tea infused w peaches
The one as an American that still gets me from time to time is when the waiter asks if I want soup or salad, but I only hear Super salad
We have different types of gravy. Breakfast gravy would be white (plain, chipped beef, or sausage). We also have the dinner gravy like you have made from beef, turkey, chicken, etc.
Biscuits can be had with a variety of things. Sausage gravy is a must though. A person can put a Sausage patty in a biscuit. A person can put a cooked egg. Jelly or jam. If you really want to be decadent you can get some syrup and butter and make a nice spread for a biscuit.
As for tea, sweet tea is unbeatable as a drink. It's amazing. I have however stopped drinking because I always have a drink with me so water is what I go with now.
if youre going 2 be in Georgia u must come to Savannah Georgia !!!!!
For the record, sweetbreads are calf (or sometimes lamb) pancreas, not what they said.
@Daz: Putting some hot sauce on biscuits and gravy or fried chicken or both is perfectly American. Go for it.
We have beef, chicken, turkey, pork and ham gravy. Gravy is made from any meat drippings. Biscuits are soft, tender and moist if done correctly. They can be used in savory or sweet applications. Butter and jam, honey, sandwiches with meat sausage gravy.
Great fried chicken doesn’t need any sauce tbh. Hot sauce is typically added to make bad chicken taste not as bad.
Aiden is definitely American when it comes to food. He will found out when y’all come over this year. He’s an American at heart 100%
8:34 No that gravy is an AMAZING pairing with fried chicken
New Channel idea: Gaynor Cooks!
When the kid says he’d eat the biscuits with jam, and Josh and Olly kinda laugh it off, we totally do that. Any type of fruit spread on biscuits is so common.
Yes, it's savory. Flour cooked in the sausage drippings (and sausage) to make a roux, then warm milk added and stirred to get the right consistency, with salt and pepper.
Sausage gravy is very savory, i recommend adding even more salt and pepper than typically comes in it. It’s amazing.
Salt is what sweetens it up . Lots of pepper always!
@@michaelgladden5852lots of pepper is a must
"Chicken, gravy, and a fake scone."😂 These kids are great! Some of their comments are hilarious.
We have more than sausage gravy, we also have brown gravy, beef gravy, etc....everyone else in the comments will explain better than I can
Hey, I am an American that was raised with Southern cooking all my life. Toast and beans is really good; especially if you add brown sugar to the beans; even better with cut up beef hot dogs in the beans over the toast! I love Texas Toast (the really thick bread) is really good with sausage gravy, and so is Texas Toast with cinnamon and brown sugar cream cheese over the Texas Toast toasted and hot when you add the cream cheese! A lot of Americans also love sweet Luzianne Tea with a dash of vanilla in it. When you start to get hot the vanilla comes out of your pores and it makes you smell nice! In the old days, women used real vanilla to cook and as a cheap perfume/cologne!
The headmaster seems pretty cool
We have more than one type of gravy here. We have the brown gravy, made with beef stock, just like what you call gravy. We also have gravy made with chicken stock that we typically use at Thanksgiving to pour over stuffing or dressing. Then we have the white gravy you seen in this video which is basically bechamel with bit of sausage and sausage drippings plus cracked black pepper. That is typically used for bisvuits at breakfast or minus the sausage bits, it is used to pour over fried chicken or country fried steak. We also have redeye gravy which is made with bacon grease or country style(salt cured)ham drippings and coffee grounds. Again, that is used on breakfast biscuits.
The typical southern sausage gravy is a cream based gravy with bits of seasoned pork sausage in it.
The cheese that you mix with the egg lasagna is ricotta cheese.
As well as a southern low country boil....shrimp, corn, potatoes, seasoning. Boiled down and we dump it out on a table for everyone to sit around with a fork and plate and pull into your plate what you want. Also comes with grits, cooked with chicken stock, not water.
It's basically like a French cream gravy(bechamel) cooked with sausage and black pepper
You make sausage gravy by cooking ground breakfast sausage in a pan after it's cooked though like ground beef you add a couple a heaping spoonfuls of flour (you want the flour and fat to be equal but you just kind of eyeball it) you add the flour to the sausage and cook for a just a little bit until the sausage is covered and the flour is no longer raw, then you slowly add milk along with salt, and pepper until the gravy is as thick or as thin as you like. If you want to make it with our the sausage you cook the meat of choice such as bacon in the pan remove it from the pan the add a couple of spoonful of flour to the pan and cook till slightly brown. Then just fallow the same steps as with the sausage gravy.
It's a sausage and cream based gravy
I still can never get the "chopped up ferret" part despite how funny it is.
The lady is right! Cook breakfast sausage, use the drippings along with a little butter and flour to make the roux. Cook the roux until the flour is cooked then add milk or cream and black pepper. For brown gravy you just keep cooking the roux until it's brown.
It’s made with cream or milk and flour and ground sausage.
Just FYI Sweetbread is the thymus gland of an animal...which is the throat, gullet or neck - or pancreas (stomach, belly or gut sweetbread) -- usually it's from calf..or lamb.
Sweetbreads are often mistakenly believed to be the testicles of an animal. In fact, they're two separate glands - the thymus gland (from the throat) and the pancreas gland (from the heart or stomach) that are taken from calves or lambs
The gravy for biscuits and gravy is made from breakfast sausage so it has chunks of breakfast sausage in the gravy
Yall would love it. Got to have some sausage with it too. I put hot sauce on everything too Daz😂. Will y'all bee posting where you're going in the states? I live in northwest Georgia
Yeah we will be doing daily stuff 👍🏻
@@officeblokedaz awesome!
Using our Breakfast Sausage crumble, fry it up..add a little flour to the grease til blended then add a little milk at a time stirring after each time to you get consistency you like.. OPEN or break up biscuits and pour this sausage gravy over it.
Salt and pepper to taste as it's cooking.
If your biscuit was dry they were bad bicuits
We use both white and brown gravy. Just depends on what its paired with.
I know yall must've gone to a legitimate thanksgiving in the Woodlands before leaving.
Whether or not the biscuit is dry or the gravy is lumpy is usually owed more to how closely the chef is paying attention than the recipe :)
We have sweetbreads here in the states, its some kind of gland , from cows typically
In America we have many different types of gravy . It can be a beef gravy like you are used to, but we also have chicken gravy. A red tomato gravy , white gravy can be plain white or flavored with many other foods such as sausage , eggs , mushrooms, etc.
I dont think I've ever in my life heard of tomato gravy
I love my sweet iced tea but some places put a little too much sweetener in. So I usually order or make my tea unsweetened and add my own sugar to my liking.
It's basically a bechemel sauce with breakfast sausage and a bunch of pepper.
I’m Canadian and for a summer in school went to Europe great food the originals haha but I’ve been to New York a few times and u can get almost the best of all foods if u go to the right places it’s awesome
in America we basically have 3 types of gravy-
1) the standard brown gravy you all know, that goes with mashed potatoes and the like
2) country gravy or sausage gravy, which is the white gravy usually reserved for biscuits and gravy
3) turkey gravy, which is a totally different thing and usually only served around Thanksgiving
Hon, where are you in the US? I make ham gravy, pork roast gravy, roast beef gravy, fried chicken gravy, biscuits and gravy, duck gravy…… any kind of meat drippings make gravy…not just brown, white and turkey
We add butter & jelly/jam or honey to our biscuits also. Not just cream gravy.
I love biscuits & gravy, preferring the white gravy with pieces of sausage in it.
Imma be real, I'm a pure bred Cajun from Louisiana, and I've never had nor seen ANYONE try biscuits and gravy ever. It sounds like more of a UK thing than a southern thing to me. Yet everyone's fascinated by it. I even never seen it on a menu before in my life, yet I live in the south. It might just be my luck but yeah, I wouldn't try it personally.
What? Go to any diner across America. Most serve it.
@@marcuspi999 I’ve just haven’t seen it, its crazy to me! Maybe because it’s the last thing on my mind when ordering food, so a skim pass it🤷🏻♂️
As a Midwesterner, biscuits and gravy will be on 80 to 90 percent of any diners menu you happen go into. I have admittedly never been to Louisiana though, could be not popular regionally. I definitely don't think of it when I think Cajun food.
@@coletrahan2739 Next time you're in a diner, ask if you can just order a small side of it. Most diners will be happy to do that. Then you can say you tried it. No one thinks it sounds good. But it is awesome.
There is s VERY big difference between Lipton tea in bottles versus homemade southern sweet tea.
OMG I'm craving biscuits and gravy.
1. We eat biscuits many ways. I prefer my biscuits with butter and jam, or with country ham. Or, occasionally, apple butter.
2. We have many types of gravy for different foods.
3. Biscuits and gravy is a breakfast dish in the south. We don’t eat fried chicken for breakfast. So I don’t know why they said that it’s commonly eaten together. Biscuits and gravy are more commonly served with sausage, eggs, hash browns, etc.
4. We do other things with the biscuit dough. My great grandmother made biscuits every morning, from scratch, and she would use the left over dough and make fried peach pies.
5. Biscuits are nothing like scones. I like scones, but it’s night and day. Biscuits are fluffy, buttery, light and airy.
“Americans are lucky” yes we are and most people here take it for granted! No offense to the UK but their food is atrocious compared to ours.
You can buy Terrys chocolate orange in the US. I always got them for my kids.
Fry up ground pork, season with pepper and salt, add flour and cook about 2 minutes then add milk, let gravy thicken. That’s all. Put on biscuits or toast. Yum
I hope yall know we also put jam on our “scones” or biscuits.
Looks like they should have put tad bit more pepper?
The "white" gravy is made with fried pork breakfast sausage (crumbled while frying) you could add some diced onions if YOU like. Remove sausage from fry pan then add white flour to the remaining fat from the sausage to make a "roux", a kind of flour paste. Next, add by preference, cream or milk appropriately 2 cups, more or less, depending on how thick you want your gravy. After "roux" is fully dissolved in liquid add cooked sausage and simmer for a minimum! of 5 minutes. There you have Sausage gravy. Pour over biscuits and enjoy. 😉 For a full on Southern breakfast add fried hashbrowns or potatoes, and fried eggs. The potatoes taste great with the gravy!! 😂
HEY.. we do have at least 1 dish in common.. Liver and onions with Mashed potatoes on side.
By the way we usually have brown gravy, and if the biscuits aren't buttery and melty ... then they need more butter.
5:33 lol classic Dad look
White gravy is a milk gravy with sausage in has a salty flavor
The lady said she had it before but then says she doesnt know what the gravy is. Its just seasoned chunks of pork mixed with flour and milk.
White gravy is a confusing process sometimes. As you stir the ingredients it starts to look like sand but as you keep stirring it starts making that pure white.
Funny how times change. When I was growing up in rural Louisiana in the 1950's B&G was "poor people's food". We ate lots of it for supper through the years. It was real country food - big city people living in Baton Rouge or New Orleans or Shreveport maybe ate it but they sure wouldn't admit it!
