I have family down south in Kentucky, and yeah, it and food like that is incredibly popular. It's super good, I just wouldn't eat it all the time. My aunt up here in NW IN made it a few times for me and my cousin, so it's pretty well known around here, too.

Yeah,I thought Biscuits and gravy were a pretty common food? I have it at Denny's all the time and I don't live in the south. They have Denny's not in the South? I had no idea. Also, are you sure you're not a misplaced "one of us" from down here in the south? You have The Band Perry in your sig afterall....great group btw. Biscuits & Gravy is seriously one of the best breakfast items ever....give me about 3 biscuits soaked in gravy and bacon and I'm a happy camper. |

Nobody gets out of Black Oak (Calumet Township/West Gary) not knowing how to make biscuits and gravy.  To answer 'Why biscuits and gravy?' It's pretty easy to make, it doesn't cost much (flour and sausage is pretty much all you need) and you can fill up a family of 20 and still have leftovers. You can be broke as a joke, yet still live high on the hog (literally) with some biscuits and gravy. |

I understand those not in the US not having heard it before, but I'm surprised there are people in the US haven't heard of it, at least those who have been out for breakfast. It's a nationwide cheap food.

The word biscuits in America refers to a small bread-like product, similar to a scone. Thanks, now "Biscuits and gravy" doesn't sound so disgusting anymore. I was thinking of something more like chocolate cookies with the gravy from a roast... |

One of the greatest culinary meals for breakfast (ever eaten one at Hardee's. Oh, man is that great), and you dare defame them for being referenced in a hillbilly tag team? ;D
When you think about it, it makes sense. A biscuit slathered in a gravy that has sausage (my preference) or even bacon in it is something work eating.

They were a decent team. I liked them. Broken up pointlessly.

I'm actually surprised by how many people didn't know about this, both state side and internationally. I guess it is because I have a few friends that are from other countries that knew what they were (but they were also really into everything about the USA too).
Huh.
Interesting.
That said, I've had it a few times before, it's okay.

Maybe OP goes by the British definition of biscuits- what North Americans would refer to as "cookies". We use "cookies" to refer to American-style chocolate chip cookies.
In that case, biscuits and gravy would be disgusting.

I'm about as Southern as it gets, and I can't stand biscuits & gravy. The traditional kind, white gravy with sausage. Gimme some KFC with mashed potatoes & gravy, however, and that biscuit's gettin' a bath.
