British Highschoolers Try Biscuits and Gravy for the First Time! (Reaction) 

It's actually not lumpy, it's bits of sausage in the gravey, gives it a ton of flavor 😋

As a southerner, this was a staple for breakfast or supper. We like our beans with cornbread!

You're supposed to split the Biscuits in half before you pour the Gravy over them. It's easier to cut down thru the exposed fluffy part than the outer crusty part. And it allows the Gravy to soak into the biscuit.

As a True Southerner, I grew up eating Biscuits and Gravy. Now a lot of times you can have the biscuits with either butter, honey, or jelly/jam without the gravy or sometimes with. Now also most folks will add a lot of salt and pepper to the gravy. My favorite thing to do with biscuits, other than this, is to have Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuits.

Born and raised in the south and there's nothing in the world like my mom's homemade biscuits and sausage gravy 😋

You MUST try biscuits and gravy sometime. Here in the states we’ll usually call it country gravy, as in made in the countryside. Soooo good. We also do have gravy like the UK, usually to go with a pork or beef roast. Besides Country gravy, biscuits are also excellent with butter and jam, or butter and honey!

I love how they just keep layering on the Southern goodness in this video. Frankly, they could have just kept going and going and going....

Biscuits and gravy are soooo delicious!

I’ve never been put off by the idea of beans and toast. But, once you’ve had biscuits and gravy, you’re kind of hooked.

I’m from the South and at least where I live, we don’t usually have chicken with biscuits and sausage gravy together. Usually the biscuits and gravy are breakfast items but you can also do chicken biscuits as well. Yes, Southern sweet tea can be really sweet if you’re not used to it.

Proper biscuits and gravy is the best thing ever😍

Biscuits and gravy is among my favorite foods. It's VERY heavy though so be careful about how much you make because it will stick to your insides and make you want to go to sleep after you eat it.

American biscuits are very easy to make, & there are a bunch of recipes online for them. It has very similar ingredients to American breakfast pancakes, actually. The sausage gravy might be a bit harder to make, since we have uncooked ground pork sausage available in grocery stores, and I don't think the UK does. I've heard of some taking the sausage out of the casings & cooking it up to make the sausage gravy, though.

My grandmother came out of the great depression and taught us beans and toast, because it was cheap during the depression..I loved it

Chicken fried steak and white gravy is also a popular southern dish. Also try a breakfast of eggs, bacon, ham or sausage with a bowl of hot buttery slightly salty hot grits ! Also with Biscuits, of course ! Love me some hot grits !

As a Southerner seeing their Reactions Is absolutely Awesome!!! I Love the sausage Gravy and Biscuits and I Run on Sweet tea,

My Dad's mother would make sausage gravy Sunday mornings served over pancakes. My Mom made hamburger gravy about once a week with fried potatoes. In the summer she would make tomato gravy with fried potatoes. We put the gravy on toast and the potatoes. We also make what we call Homefries which are made from broiled potatoes cooled usually from a meal the night before, Remove the skin and fried in grease. served with eggs , biscuits, or toast or just the potatoes with gravy.

I’m from Alabama and every single time I watch videos of Brits reacting and LOVING southern comfort foods, it makes me really consider moving over there and opening a southern kitchen, because it would make a KILLING! 😏

Y'all still need to try Brits try waffle House and British high Schoolers try American snacks

I've heard Southern Sweet Tea described as "keep pouring in sugar until it stops dissolving."

Ice Tea comes in many flavors now too, peach, raspberry, lemon and more. I usually add a little almond extract to mine and it's wonderful.

I do love biscuits with sausage gravy. It's wonderful. Sweet tea is the house wine of the South (Steel Magnolias).

We have traditional brown gravy (and other kinds of gravy), as well. This sausage gravy is essentially a béchamel sauce but using sausage drippings instead of butter. It's made with what we here call breakfast sausage, which is principally flavored with black pepper and sage. Really, it's basically ground pork with those (and sometimes other) flavors.

As a Tennessean I can honestly say... we love our biscuits and gravy. We also love chocolate gravy!! It's soooooo goooood! Sweet tea is the house wine of the south!

I love watching Jolly too. It was good to see your reactions 😊

This is what I'm making for Easter brunch tomorrow! Its a family favorite and I've been informed if I dont make it ...I will be lynched! 😂 I make it all from scratch...nothing store bought! That is the sausage in the gravy...not lumpy...lol. If you guys would like to try it....I can give you a recipe for it.

A lot people eat biscuits plain (hot) or with butter or jelly. As for biscuits and gravy, the biscuits are usually cut in half and laid flat so it soaks up the gravy even more. They are soooo good. My family usually eat them on the weekends when we have more time to sit down for breakfast. Beans and Toast is not common here, in fact I have never heard of it. I guess the closest thing we eat to that is chili poured on top of a piece of bread and grated cheese.

There is a restaurant near me in Michigan that does southern breakfast foods. They are only open from 6am till noon. If you get there at 9am, you won't get in.

Obviously they had the real deal somehow. Sausage gravy from the south can't be beat. I'm from the north but my ancestors were from the Smoky Mountains. Biscuits and gravy in the morning with eggs, or biscuits and gravy at night with chicken, has always been a family staple. You need to find out where they got the gravy from for the video. You'll love it. Everybody does.

Biscuits and Gravy with a couple over easy eggs on top ....perfect breakfast !

This was very enjoyable! I laughed throughout the video. Those kids are very intelligent and endearing. You need to make a video taste-testing biscuits and gravy yourselves. Great reaction.

To all those who don't know Iced tea in the South is called Sweet Tea. Namely, because in the South sugar is not added to iced tea, tea is added to sugar. Don't let your kids drink it or they'll be bouncing off the walls for hours. Biscuits literally go with anything. Butter, jam, butter and jam, peanut butter, you can slap a sausage patty inside one and have a breakfast sandwich, same with ham, and you can add a fried egg to the mix. Split one open, warm it up, pour some honey over it. You can use them to sop up extra gravy or stew in the bottom of your bowl. They're round discs of magic.

I've seen a lot of brits recoil at the sight of white sausage gravy, and I definitely get it. Something you can do that might help you be more open to trying it is watch someone make it. It's really nothing intense in terms of weird ingredients, but the flavor is absolutely amazing. I'm telling you now, if you hosted a brunch, and served really good biscuits with sausage gravy, it'd be a hit.

The lumpiness is pieces of minced sausage blended in. I'll have to look up what kind of gravy you're used to. If I was in England and I asked for iced tea, they'd look at me like I had a third eye.

Here in the south we love our " comfort food". If you ever get a chance you should try .... Deep fried pickles.

Biscuits are really versatile with breakfast. You can make a breakfast sandwich and use the biscuit as a bun (and put a sausage patty, cheese, and egg inside), or you can just eat them warm with butter or jelly/jam, or of course with sausage gravy. All delicious.

I’m from the Midwest/ plains, US. My dad also grew up in central US, and he was raised on biscuits and sausage gravy. When he was drafted to Viet Nam, the Army version of biscuits and gravy was chipped beef (cheap) in a bechamel on white bread toast (also cheap). Apparently they called it shit on a shingle. So from the time I could form a memory, I remember asking my parents what was for dinner. And my dad would say “shit on a shingle!”. He was always the one that made it. It was almost like “his” recipe. He doesn’t make it as much anymore, but when he does it’s always a treat.

I've watched a bunch of videos of Brits trying American biscuits and gravy. One thing that I've picked up on, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, is that in England there only seems to be 1, maybe 2, types of gravy. In the US we have LOTS of different types/flavors of gravy. It's as if we really embraced the idea of gravy and tried to make gravy out of many things. Sausage gravy is just one of them and it is primarily, but not exclusively, a breakfast gravy.

The best thing about this is that everyone has their own family recipe for gravy that makes it both the same, but also a tad different from others. Just the slightest variation that makes it stand out to you. The presentation is definitely a little off putting for some, but the taste is up there. I hope you're able to try it some time because it really is delicious. They even had a Lays potato chip flavored version of it that was pretty decent (obviously nothing like the real thing, but decent in terms of flavored chips). I loved seeing those kids be all skeptical and then their eyes all lit up because it really is delicious.

the kid describing how Happy he is eating and drinking the food is/was cool to see.

Jelly,Jam or honey also go great with biscuits even maple syrup on a open faced buttered biscuit

May I give you this advice as one who has enjoyed sausage gravy and biscuits for close to 8 decades. When selecting a sausage mince as you would call it make sure to use a brand that you like, you can even take sausages that you would use for bangers and mash remove the mince from the casing and use that. As for the gravy 2 table spoons fat (sausage drippings, butter, oil or even lard) + 2 table spoons lard used to create a roux and then add 2 cups whole milk. As for the most basic southern home made bisucit you need self-rising flour, buttermilk and butter generally 2 cups flour, 1 cup butter milk, 1 stick of ice cold butter cut into the flour prior to adding the buttermilk. You can add a pinch of salt or dash of sugar or both your choice. Once the dough has formed place it on a well floured surface and pat out do not roll it out, fold over into thirds and repeat the process but again be gentle the object is to create layers without making a tough biscuit. Using a glass or cup to cut out biscuits rounds place on a oiled baking sheet about 1 inch apart and then brush with an egg wash or milk wash place in a 400 degree aka 204 cel oven for approximately 14 minutes and enjoy. This should result in flaky layers and a tender biscuit. Hope this helps and that you enjoy.

Biscuits and gravy is awesome. There's a whole food culture around it. Biscuits and gravy for breakfast is great.If you don't like the sweetness there's unsweetened iced tea. I prefer the unsweetened. In the southwest we make sun tea which also has a richness without any sweetening.

The thing is, we actually have British style pubs here in the US…. I’ve had bangers and mash several times….as well as Irish breakfast, Irish stew, shepherd’s pie etc…. I actually worked in the kitchen of an Irish inspired sports bar and grill in the early nineties. I’ve even made “Bubble And Squeak”!

Biscuits and gravy are actually delicious! My husband isn’t a big fan of them but I love them! I love them with a side of hash brown casserole!!

The beans you like on your toast, here in Texas we would eat them with our BBQ.

This is funny because when I see beans on toast I always feel like it's a meme and not something people genuinely enjoy so fair enough lmao

You can also use bacon in place of sausage if you want to make it yourselves. All you really need is sausage or bacon, milk, flower, salt and black pepper

That one kid saying jam would be good in a biscuit is 100% correct. It is a great combo.

This is a great video. I can totally relate. I'm white, born in Maine. My wife is black, born in Florida. I had never had collard greens or grits for two examples. After we met and got married guess what I eat a lot of now? LOL

Biscuits & Gravy! 🤤 Yum!

The thing about southern sweet tea is you sweeten it to the flavor that you like when you find the sweetness you like and there's your tea

i swear all the UK reactors share a discord and coordinate on what videos to react to 🤔

My mother would make soft fluffy cornbread also but cornbread made with a touch of sugar is often called cornbread but actually has it's own name. Johnny Cake.

7:28 I autocompleted his sentence to “oh my lawd” because that’s my reaction to chicken fried chicken with gravy

My favorite "breakfast" food, especially with hash browns and a sunny side up egg...heaven.

I and most people I know ALWAYS split the biscuit. Just split apart and put it on the plate with the crust-side down. This allows the biscuit to absorb and "hold" the gravy. Otherwise the gravy will just roll off the "crusty" outer surface of the biscuit.....and you wind-up with "scones" floating in a sea of white "magma". The biscuit needs to absorb the gravy....so, split it.

In the states, "gravy" does fundamentally refer to the same thin, brown, highly seasoned stuff you're used to seeing. However, we also attach the name "gravy" to a lot of other meat based sauces, this classic sausage/sawmill gravy being one of them. Also, despite the appearance, those aren't scones. Biscuits are a quickbread similar to scones, however they tend to be more savory and, as one kid put it, fluffier than scones. I will say though that sweet tea is a bit too sweet for my tooth, though.

That was so cute! I looooove biscuits and gravy. Sweet tea gotta be made right for me to like it.

you guys need to see the other channel he has called Korean Englishman. His wife is Korean but he started the channel to spread the joys of Korean food to everyone. He actually met King Charles at a royal function last year doing the channel. He also did a series with a graduating class of boys with their headmaster on a trip to Korea which changed their outlooks and taught them the world is much bigger than they thought. he just finished a series with a couple of British rappers in Korea. but his most famous series is with some football players and some London cab drivers trying korean food. Its surprising hard to find good korean food in England but London is a good place to start. Korean food is fairly easy to find in the states just you have to weed out the bad places from the good.

My dad used to love grape jelly on biscuits. Cake with sauce is a sweet treat here in the US. My mom used to make it.

On the other hand, we have to hunt for Black Pudding here. Now Biscuits and Sausage Gravy with Black Pudding is our family Christmass Breakfast. Best of both cultures, my friends!

I have a friend in England I sent some gravy mix to. He made it and liked it but still says it is cat sick on scones. 😂😂

BG’s are our Monday Go-to for supper. Included with bacon and eggs of course.

Anywhere in the SEC (South Eastern Conference) you will get amazing Southern food. Y'all need to have pecan pie for desert!

Biscuits and Gravy is still one of my all time favorites!

As someone who runs a kitchen that serves biscuits and gravy, if someone asked for jam, I'd ask, do you want it in the biscuit, on the biscuit, or on top of the gravy? Because we're clearly doing something here 😅 I would modify the dish however anyone wanted, eggs on top of the gravy are a thing for example. I would never question anyone's choices when it comes to B&G combos.

Biscuits and gravy with eggs over medium and hashbrowns. When the runny yolk mixes with the gravy, it gets even better.

Southern style biscuits and gravy is my absolute favorite food/meal ever. I have it at least twice a week, sometimes 3 or 4 times a week. But you need a really good biscuit with it...preferrably home made biscuits.

My family is rooted in the Midwest and I grew up eating beans on toast, I put it in the oven and once the beans were nice and hot I'd add a slice of cheese and let it melt. Major comfort food as a kid. :)

I moved from Pennsylvania to Georgia some years ago. My baseball playing days were over but softball was very popular here so I joined a team. We would play tournaments many weekends and sometimes all meet up to eat breakfast before heading to our first game. I remember the first time when we went to a restaurant that was basically southern cooking. Got the biscuits and gravy and I’ve been hooked every since. So good. One funny thing though….we had like 15 guys there and every one of them ordered iced tea. When it came around to me and I ordered milk I’ll never forgot the looks and reactions I got. It was like I ordered gasoline to drink. And while I do drink iced tea from time to time I’m still a diehard milk drinker.

Biscuits are good with butter, good with honey but best smothered in country gravy. Southerners make the best chicken and their serving sizes could feed an army.

Gravy is a seasoned sauce that is usually meat-based and thickened with flour or cornstarch. (The one exception is mushroom gravy, which can be vegetarian.) The meat contribution to gravy is au jus and/or stock/broth and/or fat from meat sources. These meat sources provide flavoring plus the fat necessary to create the roux that thickens the gravy. In America, we have a wide variety of gravy types, including milk/cream gravies and beef/poultry/venison gravies. We even have some flavored with espresso/coffee, chocolate, and beer. As for our biscuits, biscuits & gravy is always served with the biscuits halved like scones, laid on the plate with their fluffy interiors facing upward, and the sausage gravy poured over the biscuits so the fluffy interiors can sop up and absorb the gravy. Also, while you CAN purchase biscuit mix as well as sausage or *country gravy in instant packets, the recommendation is to make them from scratch and avoid the commercial mixes. They're easy enough to make from scratch and they will taste a lot better than the commercial mixes. (*Country gravy is very similar to sausage gravy except there is no sausage in it; it's often made of vegetable shortening or butter, flour, chicken broth/stock, milk, salt and pepper.) Note: American biscuits are savory, not sweet; they're a lot closer to being rolls than scones. Also, they are offered as a bread to accompany any meal at any time of day, and they are preferred hot, not cold. If an American gets a cold biscuit, he will most likely heat it up, so he can halve it like a scone and put butter on the fluffy interior to melt. Just like with toast or scones, American biscuits (when not covered in gravy) are often spread with jam, preserves, or honey before being eaten, especially when served with breakfast.

Lovely breakfast - the 'lumps' are bits of sausage. Dirty rice is another southern breakfast food. SO I mix both sausage gravy over dirty rice. During the great depression - granny used toast with 'chipped beef / white gravy. Cheap and easy to make.

Now I've got to wait for the morning to get here so I can go get some biscuits and gravy from Hardee's 😂

Nothing better for breakfast than some biscuits and sausage gravy

Thier reactions were priceless.

That part where she gag/throwup made me want to gag. 😂 Fricken chain reaction.

When it's done right there is nothing better than biscuit's and gravy!

I'm a Yankee from Michigan and we did our sausage gravy over fried potatoes. I'm 70 years old and a couple days a month I still make sausage gravy over fried potatoes. Yum

Yummm!!! One of my favorites.

I love these school boy reactions! Some of the boys are SO posh. Lol

I prefer my biscuits warm from the oven with butter, and sometimes with butter and jam with tea.

We do buttery Texas Toast with BBQ pork beans and ribs, but not for breakfast...Unless a hangover breakfast. 🤣🤣 UK leaves off the pork and BBQ

The little guys were adorable

We don't put gravy in our tea, but we do sometimes put coffee in our gravy.

Had just butter and jam a lot. Also have had them just buttered and then used to scape up stuff on plate, be it syrup or egg yolk

We have and use the same brown gravies that England does, usually for meat and on mashed potatoes. Biscuits and gravy is basically a plain thick béchamel usually with sausage, and often lots of pepper xD

"Beans on toast, don't knock it until you've tried it" said after slagging off biscuits and gravy without ever trying it. that's fine, more for me 😁

Country gravy is usually made with sausage and sausage drippings, although in a pinch you could substitute hamburger. Salt and pepper to taste. My mother and grandmothers also would fry up chopped up potatoes and onions, then pour the gravy over that.

It's funny, because we have brown gravy in the States (perfect on mashed potatoes). We also eat biscuits with jam - paired with breakfast. And we do eat beans and bread...except it's cornbread and its typically a bbq side dish.

Typically, we have brown gravy and white gravy (add breakfast sausage bits and it's called country sausage gravy). We put brown gravy on potatoes and such, typically anything savory. White gravy is usually reserved for breakfast, except on things like country fried steak and other random things. If you can get american breakfast sausage, the only other ingredients for this gravy is milk and flour (given the sausage made enough grease, if not, add your own).

Im from Wisconsin and Ive loved beans on toast since I was a kid. Not for breakfast though, mostly lunch. Also, beans on buttered bread.. yum

Oh and by the way the biscuits are made with buttermilk that's what makes him so fluffy and moist like that delicious

Buttermilk biscuits are kind of like the American version of British scones. The buttermilk gives the biscuits more of a flaky and fluffier texture. You can pretty much have them in many ways, biscuits and gravy( usually like a cream based gravy with some grease from cooking the breakfast sausage), breakfast sandwiches ( usually sausage or bacon with scrambled egg and sliced cheese) and with jam, preserves or butter and honey. Another popular dish in the southern United States is grits, essentially a version of cornmeal mush. Usually best used with butter or cheese for breakfast. But a dish for dinner uses grits as almost a replacement for rice and uses shrimp, onions, bell pepper in a different kind of gravy ( think maybe like a shrimp creole style). Southern cooking aka soul food or home cooking is usually pretty hearty food, but good for soul once in awhile.

We have a version of beans on toast, it's called SOS (Sh*t on a Shingle). It's Chipped beef in a cream sauce on toast. It works for any meal!

Sad part...They didn't even have the buttery flaky layered Biscuit!! With some homemade peach, blackberry or wild plum jelly.

That was fun to watch. Thanks!

Great video guys! I’ve actually seen the video before but not with you both reacting. Win-win. I’m from the South and I make my grandmother’s biscuits and gravy. It’s really easy to make and it’s wonderful and makes me think of her every time I make it. Here’s a mind blower…breakfast for dinner. Depending upon the kind of day it is I’ll make breakfast foods for dinner and even though it’s a bit odd at first it could quickly become a favorite. Want my grandmother’s recipe? Maybe we could barter and exchange for something of equal value like, I don’t know, a free Patreon pass or something. Kidding , Let me know if you would like the recipe for biscuits and gravy or any other southern style recipes. I have several. Good to see you again.

I like tea hot or cold. Cold tea takes a lot of trial and error though. It depends on how strong you want it and how sweet you want it. I use like six tea bags and one and a half to two cups of sugar to make four liters of tea, but I don’t particularly like mine super sweet. The key thing to know about making iced tea is that the sugar concentrates and gets stronger as it cools.
