BRITS REACT | British Highschoolers Try Biscuits & Gravy | BLIND REACTION 

We hope you enjoyed watching the high schoolers reactions as much as we did. Kids are so honest and it's fun to see their take on the American biscuits and gravy for the first time. Thank you for watching and we appreciate all the support. We promise not to call American biscuits "scones" in the future. 😅♥

Scones are a bread, Biscuits are where happiness and unicorns come from.

Being a Southerner, I keep two gallons of sweet tea in our drink fridge. AND we eat sausage & biscuits at every opportunity.

''Do I have to eat all of that?'' No. You don't have to, but you will and you will want more!

The kid who said chop up ferret needs to see a therapist 😂😂😂😂

10:31 "Is It.An Iced Tea?" Yes,it is iced tea. Ironically, iced tea was actually introduced to Americans by an English man who had served it in the 1929 world's fair

Key ingredients for biscuits include cold buttermilk and cold butter, flour and baking powder. Cold ingredients are key because the butter chunks in the dough is what make them so damn flaky on the inside and crispon the outside.

The rank, chopped up ferret vomit kid was a strange cat. A bit over the top. But at least he liked the sweet tea 😂

The texture is quite similar compared to a scone but is savory rather than slightly sweet. The "gravy" is a variation of what is called "sawmill gravy" but in this case is made with ground/minced sausage meat and the gravy is also savory and generally made with a fair dose of black pepper, though variations exist.

We have Scones in the US as well, they are normally with fruit baked in and are on the dryer side. Biscuits are kind of dry too but they are more of a buttery, salty hint of sweet. The kid wanted jam on his biscuit, that's not that unusual here too however putting honey on them is pretty common.

Love your reactions! Great video! Yes! Southern sweet tea is very delicious but SUPER sugary! I’m a mild diabetic so I stick with unsweetened iced tea with lemon! Very refreshing in the hot months!

here in Alaska we have a couple of soft eggs over it as well, with a few drops of franks hot sauce..... good breakfast on really cold days

I love sausage biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs with picante sauce and a glass of milk. It's a great breakfast.

Take a biscuit, open it up and lay it flat, place scrambled eggs on top, cover the whole thing with sausage gravy. That is the perfect breakfast.

I love tea (hot, iced tea with no sugar, sweet tea, sun tea). Just as with hot tea, you can change the sweetness to your preferences.

I really enjoy Jolly's content. It's probably my favorite channel. They do an excellent job.

Sweet tea is just a different name for tea with sugar in it. But the phrase we T does have one specific requirement. And that is that you put the sugar into the tea while it is still hot after being brewed. Where is what we call ice tea? The sugar is added to it by the glass. Before you drink it, thus given the person who's going to drink it. The ability to put the amount of sugar they want in it. Either a little or a lot. Where a sweet tea is usually sweetened. While it's hot and the whole kettle, it's done the same amount. So every glass tastes the same. Sweet tea is delicious but not more delicious than iced tea. When giving up the ability to sweeten it. The amount you want. So I always prefer ice tea. So I can use the amount of sugar that satisfies me. And of course with iced tea. You normally are squeezing a wedge of lemon into it with the sugar. Sweet tea is usually just sweetened with the sugar only.

I feel like we need Brits to show us Americans how to make proper beans on toast.

You both have done well reacting to this JOLLY video. I think at this point Josh and Ollie may have already completed their visit to America at one of our Southern states Georgia, where they tried biscuits and gravy for the first time, you are welcome to watch it on your own time or react to it if you wish to and you will also see how uncompilable they really are. it's called: Brits try Southern Biscuits and Gravy for the first time! American biscuits are lightly crispy on the outside (Not supposed to be crunchy) and soft on the inside buttery and savory. Sausage gravy when made properly is so good and then paired with biscuits is fantastic. Biscuits are also enjoyed without the gravy, they can be enjoyed with Jam, jelly, and fruit preserves we have all three, just spread a little bit of butter first then spread on your Jelly, jam or fruit preserves on top and enjoy. If you ever make a trip to the America, may I suggest you try them in a true Southern state, not every state in America will have authentic Southern Biscuits. I enjoyed this video reaction! Peace. ☮

My guess why beans on toast came about is the rationing that went on due to the war. Rationing meat in England ended in the 1950’s and beans are a protein substitute.

The headmaster in there is good friends with Josh (guy with the hat on) from Jolly. The headmaster even went to Korea with Josh and Olly on there other channel called the Korean Englishman. Jolly has other video reactions where the same High Schoolers try Popeye's, Wendy's and Taco Bell to get the kids reactions to those foods.

The reason the gravy is lumpy is because it has sausage bits.

At our local ice cream shop we can get chicken strips with this gravy too. It’s my favorite way to eat them.

Just to explain sweet iced tea... it's mainly a southern thing, and it's iced tea because it gets FUCKING HOT down here! Not just hot, but humid. The air in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, and Louisiana is thick. It feels heavy to just walk through it down the street. If you come to visit, you will be craving tea, but cold! And lots of it! Biscuits & sausage gravy is a southern staple, mainly because of the agricultural nature of the south. When you live in a small town and work on farms, there's not a lot of restaurants to get lunch. So we go for a big heavy breakfast loaded with protein, fat, and carbs to keep you full for a day of physical labor. Hence, bacon, eggs, country ham, biscuits & sausage gravy, and grits. Since you're going to get to grits eventually, I'll explain those too. Your closest thing would be porridge. It's boiled cornmeal, served with butter, toast, and jam. That's it. Nothing fancy. The same way you grind wheat to make flour, you grind corn to make cornmeal. Then you use that to make grits and cornbread. Grits are kind of bland and usually dressed up with other stuff; shrimp & grits is a popular dish along the coast. The same way you would eat oatmeal or cream of wheat porridge, that's how you eat grits. Hope that helps!

White gravy is easy, equal parts flour+oil (oil/butter/bacon or sausage fat/lard/whatever works for you)+water or milk..

Brown gravy is really good on biscuits too.

Scones, apparently, are made with SUGAR in the dough - biscuits are not. They are a more savory bread....the gravy is made from a roux (equal parts, basically, of a fat - i.e., butter, meat grease - and flour....cooked to a light brown hue), then milk or water is added and most people would add bulk / ground cooked sausage to it (that's what looks "lumpy" - the gravy, by itself, should not be lumpy)....THEY ARE HEAVEN!!!

It's a bit of a joke, but they say to make Southern Sweet Tea you just keep adding sugar until it stops dissolving.

Aye...how some person know about chopped up ferrets ?!?

I'm not sure why Brits think we eat biscuits ONLY with gravy. We DON'T. We eat them with ANY kind of meal . . . beef, pork, chicken, turkey, bison, fish, rattlesnake, whatever . . . and any veggies. Or soups, chilli, stew . . . whatever. Pull a pan of biscuits out of the oven as you sit down for a meal and put the biscuits in a bowl on the table. Take them while they are still really hot and slather them with butter and eat with your meal. They are soft, flaky, savory and sooooo good! 😮 Find a video on the internet who shows how to cook lots of things and they will explain how to make flaky biscuits. You will thank me . . . Trust me. You will love them and they are not hard to make once you get used to it. Don't😂❤ just go by a recipe because I've seen some other RU-vidrs do thst and they could have been better. No exotic ingrediants so I'm pretty sure you can get anything you need to make them. You will want them with all your meals after that. 💯 😊😂❤

Get a big jug, fill it with water, at least ,10 tea bags, and set it over night in the fridge, and sugar to taste.

A southern American needs to open a soul food restaurant in London. I think they'd do very well!

Southern sweet tea is so sweet that I a northern girl can’t drink it. It’s too sweet for me. It’s not the same as regular ice tea .

outside of the south seen em more as a breakfast sandwich. seems more like the gravy part is the more southern part. still questioning how that one kid knows what a chopped up ferret looks like or why thats the first place his mind went to. but we def still get a buttered biscuit or a buttered biscuit with jam/jelly/preserves. sometimes honey too. reckon that gravy they used was packet?

There’s been a kind of mini-Renaissance on RU-vid of our British cousins going total fan boi on American comfort food. Weird thing is: nothing here is exotic. It’s flour, milk, butter, sausage in various increments. It’s a no-brainer. Can’t figure out why Brits are so confounded by it all. My only guess is: beans on toast addle the brain. You can do better! Trust us! Biscuits are criminally easy to make.

Ice tea must be homeade

Biscuits ARE NOT Scones, Jelly, and Jam are two different spreads, French Fries are not chips, a chicken sandwich is NOT a burger, and jello is a desert.

Please get your baking caps on and give it a go!!

Seems strange to think that there’s a country with only one kind of gravy.

I love how the one says not compared to English standards. That's coming from people who eat pork and beans on toast for breakfast. Are you kidding me.

Scones are just a sweet biscuit to me.

I often wonder if these kids now that an english breakfast would go straight into the trash can here. Maybe the one or two expats who live here would eat it but the rest is trash. I get that would be skeptical of biscuits and gravy.

So you guys call cookies biscuits??

If you’d like to try a solid combination, have a biscuit with butter and warm honey ❤

I feel sorry for Brits (no offense) that gravy there seems to be what we would call brown gravy here in the states. No chicken gravy, no turkey gravy, sawmill gravy, red eye gravy.....we will take any fat and turn it into gravy and ladle it over something :D

We eat biscuits many ways: with just butter, with butter and jelly (jam), butter and sugar, butter and honey, with just gravy, etc...,. You have beans on toast, we have beans on cornbread. But, we don't use baked beans, we use white beans, or blackeyed peas, or red beans, or butter beans, etc...,.

The headmaster seems pretty cool

Biscuits and gravy is the BESTEST Winter breakfast there is. It stays with you all day - like a warm hug.

The brutal honestly of children never fails to entertain.

You can eat biscuits with butter and jam… sweet and a little salty’

Just t let you guys know…. Biscuits are not sweet…. They have a small amount of sugar in the ingredients but generally savory

American biscuits, are light, fluffy, and buttery, we also have rolls which are completely different. In the US, we make many different gravies, to go with the many different meats we make. Biscuits and sausage gravy is made with pan drippings, milk, and flour giving it the light grey to white color. Most other gravies are made with pan drippings, water, and flour, giving it a varied brown color. We even make a Red Eye gravy for ham, which has coffee in it, for an almost black color.

These kids are absolutely beautiful! Just wait until you watch Josh and Ollie taking uni students to Korea. It's another series to blow your minds. ALL the "Jolly" series videos are really good. Nice reaction, btw.

You have to understand that in America. Biscuits aren't scones because we have scones. It just simply happens that we have 2 separate things biscuits and scones. I've seen other videos in the past years. Where it's people from the UK that have mistakenly thought that biscuits were scones we. As Americans have always known, they're not because we got stones from the UK and every bakery out here sells them.

With chicken we have the gravy without the sausage in it. We use butter as a base instead of the sausage grease. We have so many different kinds of gravy here in the U.S. that it boggles the mind. Biscuits are a kind of quick bread that doesn't need to rise because there's no yeast in it. Instead you use baking powder.

Oh, one more thing... lucky for you, biscuits & gravy is easy to make with things you have! There's a reason it's a staple in the south, everybody can easily make it at home! All you need to do is fry up some sausages for breakfast in a pan, just as you usually would. Then, take the sausages out but leave the sausage grease. Slowly add a little flour to the hot sausage grease to thicken it up and make a roux, then add some milk and let that thicken. Then, break up the sausages and add those back in. Boom, you have sausage gravy. You could have it over scones just to get close to it, but biscuits seem to be more heavy on the butter. You can make biscuits from scratch as well, or over here we have raw biscuit dough in tins that pop open and you just put them on a baking tray and pop them in the oven. Either way, you can try biscuits & gravy easily enough, without buying anything exotic or spending a lot of money. Cheers! :)

Biscuits and Gravy are amazing, and with chicken is awesome. The guys that run Jolly have another channel called Korean Englishman, those 2 are both great and this video was similar to many. They are friends with that headmaster and have dozens of videos with the boys over the years (many the same, some changed over time, and I believe the first ones just recently graduated, they go to Korea with them on a trip. Other great channels for reactions are Lost in The Pond (A brit that moved to the states quite a few years ago), The Fat Electrician (more military related, but he is an AMAZING story teller and finds VERY interesting stories in the history of wars), The New Zealand Family just did a 4 state visit of the US and have some great videos out, and are about to do an RV tour of the US. The Beesleys that do reaction videos are in the US right now making videos.

Being a Texan, I just cannot imagine English beans on toast. I guess I've been a bit spoiled with the food we have here. Biscuits and gravy? Great for breakfast. Or bacon, egg and potato soft tacos. Yes, please. Beans with barbecue, or pork and beans as a side dish works well. An so on and so on...

As an American when I think of a scone I think of a sweet harder outside, heavy inside that's sweet. But a biscuit is not as hard on outside and light and fluffy inside, it's savory, set for BUTTER, JAM, Or Gravy!!! No.. beans on toast is just yucky, only to be eaten when the world ends and a can of beans is all you have to eat.

I do believe that our biscuits are like savory scones. But we also have a few types of biscuits. Buttermilk biscuits are the best with gravy. We also call this gravy a sausage milk gravy.

Beans and toast a national treasure??😂😂you guys are poor over there??

We have beans (probably 100 varieties) and we have toast . . . . ya, I have NEVER seen anyone put beans on toast ever....lol. I know you all do though. If you all want to try biscuits and sausage gravy - I'm positive you can Google the receipe - it's quite simple actually - the biscuits are the "hardest" part and that's not really hard - the gravy is ground sausage meat - browned - add flour and mix until flour is a bit brown - add milk to desire consistency add salt and pepper and pour over biscuits! YUM!!! We have scones here . . too bad you all don't have biscuits!! We have biscuits you can bake that the dough comes in a package - so easy and soooo good! We are spoiled!

The gravey is made by sautéing breakfast sausage and the making a roux then adding milk/ cream and black pepper simmer till it thickens

Biscuits and Gravy are more of a southern (US) thing. In the northeast, I grew up eating warm biscuits with butter, and even butter and jam. A lot of people eat warm biscuits with honey. We have scones here, too - they seem to be a little more dense, like Irish scones (at least in my family). Scones can have blueberries in them, or almonds, ect...they are more of a sweet item whereas biscuits are buttery and flakey. Not as dense or sweet.

Jolly has quite a few reactions of both British and American kids reacting to each others foods. I think you will enjoy those videos too.

When in doubt cook it, look up southern biscuits and gravy, recipes and make it from scratch

If you have the chance to have biscuits and sausage gravy you will forget the words beans and toast.

When you do biscuits and gravy, get a knowledgeable American to help you ot.

Great video. Back in the 90's there was a little breakfast cafe near my home in Las Vegas, their specialty was Biscuits and Gravy. They would serve it Biscuits and Gravy or Fried Potatoes and Gravy or Half and Half, half biscuits and half fried potatoes covered in Sausage Gravy. Yum. Great hangover food. Have a wonderful day

We have scones in America...Scones is not just a British thing.....Yes, they look like Scones, but that is where the similarity ends. Two completely different food.

Scones here are often a little sweeter. Maybe topped with slivered almonds, orange zest, blueberries, chocolate & maybe a small drizzle of icing. Scones are often much denser than biscuits and not as flaky

TY I think the first I saw and the one of theirs that connected me was about kids and Popeyes chicken.

you can have also have biscuits with jam or honey or just butter

I’m from NC and I’ve eaten beans on toast my whole life. ( I’m currently 44) 😂

Biscuits are also not "a sweet bread, basically" like the one teen suggests, lol. There's no sugar in biscuits, unless it's purposefully sweet for a specific reason, so I'm not sure where he got that idea, lol. You can totally make this and the sweet tea, too. The biscuits are easy as is the sausage gravy. We do put jam, jelly, honey, butter on biscuits. JOLLY has several videos with these kids for you to check out. They are fabulous! FYI, beans on toast isn't that unusual BUT it's not like a normal snack/meal, etc. It's more likely to be eaten as a bowl of beans with a piece of toast on the side.

Y'all, you have all the ingredients to make everything you have seen. It's just that we figured out how to create this with them. Pop in the kitchen and whip you up some B&G!

The diversion of the word biscuit in American English is due to the abundance of variety in American food. We actually have what the Brits would call a Biscuit. But it would be called a Tea Biscuit. As in a biscuit you'd have with tea. But in America we also have Breakfast Biscuits(shown in the video), Supper Biscuits, Southern Style Biscuits, Sour Dough Biscuits, Beer Biscuits, Buttermilk Biscuits, Tak and trail Biscuits. However, our fondness for Breakfast Biscuits and their pairing with gravy is why when you simply say Biscuit. We automatically assume you mean breakfast style Biscuits. But if you were to ask for a Biscuit with your tea. We'd give you something similar to what you associate with the word Biscuit.

It's quite easy to make. Easily done at home.

I love this reaction and their honesty. I agree that the gravy looks like vomit, but it is delicious. It is very rich/fattening so I only have it about twice a year. As for the tea, there are different types of iced tea (not counting flavored teas). Unsweetened, which is too bitter for my taste; sweet tea, which is sickeningly sweet; and then there's iced tea with a combination of sugar and lemon juice. Hopefully you get to try the "fake scones" (my favorite line from this video) soon. Thanks for a great reaction! 😀

Donkeys are wonderful 🐴 ♥ 🤗 I have a Donkey neighbor named Fancy ☺ I bring her apples 🍏 I subscribed because of the Donkeys on your wall And you do reaction videos You guys should react to Bill Burrs HELICOPTER STORY. Very funny 😊😊😊

Those of us with Appalachian roots also have biscuits with chocolate gravy and biscuits with red eye gravy. Yum! I am a first time viewer and I really enjoyed this reaction video. Big thumbs up!

I will give the kids the credit on this one. Biscuits and gravy don't actually look too appealing but they do taste fantastic.

I always find it amusing there is only one type of gravy in the UK. I know the better restaurants there have many of course. In the US there are maybe a dozen or so completely different ones & in France . . . Forget about it.

I personally have a piece of buttered bread or piece of buttered toast when I have a bowl of beans. I always have and I have never lived in the UK, not weird to me at all. Biscuits and gravy are super easy to make, there are a lot of videos online that can talk you through the process......worth the effort!

Well they are savory scones but fair enough.

Biscuits do look a lot like scones. But they are savory, and they are a lot lighter and fluffier. The gravy is sort of like a bechamel with sausage in it. I am not a fan of sweet iced tea. I do like iced tea though if it's unsweet.

A good biscuit is a bit buttery and soft and flaky to the point that if you just want to put jam on a biscuit, it pulls apart easily…but combined with sausage gravy, it becomes a bit of heaven…

The beans yall put on toast, we dont have. We have a product that looks exactly like it but tastes completely different. Same is true for you an our breakfast sausage. Ours is pork, a lot of sage, some brown sugar, salt an pepper.

No similarities. Biscuits are heaven on a plate.

Southern food is different then the rest of the country even though they make it in most states

I mean, we have scones and biscuits. The fact that we don’t call them both the same thing should lend some insight into how different they are.

Biscuits are supper easy , flour cold butter baking powder salt sugar mix it just till it comes together then roll it out with rolling pin and cut the biscuits brush the tops with butter and bake in oven

If you guys make southern biscuits, use a recipe that calls for buttermilk. It adds a depth of savory flavor like sourdough and makes the fluffiest biscuits on earth. Also, iced tea down here in the south is almost always served pre-sweetened with unsweetened as an option. Sugar levels very WILDLY and range from "sweet" to "geneticly inherited diabetes", so if you ever visit, don't be afraid to try, but also don't be afraid to ask for a glass of unsweet to cut the sugar levels down or "half and half".

As a daily hot and iced tea drinker, the amount of sugar to use depends upon your personal preference.

Gotta agree with the one kid, I've drank my share of brown gravy a few times. I'm not throwing out perfectly good leftover gravy.😂

I drink iced tea, but without sugar. Don't get me wrong, I love sweeten iced tea & grew up drinking it, but it's healthier without sugar.

I would sure hope so, we in America love to see the uk open their eyes to new experiences.

Watch: Brits try Southern Biscuits and Gravy for the first time!

What you call a biscuit, we call a cracker. What you call chips, we call French fries. We both call a cookie, a cookie.

Bisquits and gravy without eggs? Four eggs, full order of bisquits and gravy, and some Tabasco sauce.
