Biscuits and Gravey

I love biscuits and gravy, but I can only eat my mom's. I don't like sausage gravy. Mom always made her gravy from bacon grease. Also, a weird thing in family is that we put sugar on the gravy.

 

Hmmm....I've never been one to have any food smothered in gravy, but I do like biscuits with honey!

 

One downfall of living with a chef is that it ruins you for food elsewhere. Anyone else's attempt at gravy is just pathetic.

 

In Oregon, my mom used to live in a little town called Glendale, just a few miles north of Grants Pass. This is basically a lumberjack community, so they need to have large meals. There is a diner off the I-5 that has a sign saying either "EAT" or "FOOD", I forget which, that has the absolute BEST biscuits & sausage gravy, and a ton of it! The half-order is the size of a normal dinner plate with two full biscuits split in half (big ones!) smothered with gravy dripping off the plate that contained more sausage than gravy. The normal order is double that!!

Unfortunately, I drove by there a few weeks ago and I honestly don't know if you can get a 53 down there to park.

 

If there is one dish in this country that makes me shudder and gives me the willies, it has to be biscuits and gravy.....

Anything that looks like it was eaten and spewed back up is not on my list of approved eating. I will leave more for you all.

 

That's the truckers meal! Nice hot plate of taters n biscuits smothered in gravy washed down with a pot of coffee!

 

I gotta chime in on this.

I'd have to say.. Other than my wife's home made Fettuchini Alfredo (Oh yes, she's Italian) My number one has to be good ol' biscuits and gravy.

Here's what to do. Find the Jummy Dean BOLD sausage, fry it up and reserve the grease. Put some flour in it and stir it into a paste. Now, instead of milk, use heavy cream. You may have to cut it with a bit of water if needed. add salt to taste. Now I have found the key to use freshly ground pepper. It actually gives it a better taste.
