We definitely don’t call them that.

Also we have Bourbon Biscuits which are just lovely.

The American word for biscuits equates to a spongey, mostly tasteless muffin. People in the south sometimes pour gravy on them and call it a meal.

Except the "gravy" is a greasy roux with bits of sausage meat in it. I think the biscuits are basically savoury scones. I'm not judging, the whole dish sounds fairly tasty and like the kind of thing a Northerner or Scotsman might invent.

If someone is giving you greasy roux with bits of meat in it, they don't like you.

Good biscuits and gravy will make you smack your mama for lying to you about what a good breakfast is.

A breakfast!? This is an actual breakfast meal? With gravy?

It's no wonder we let you win the war of independence you uncultured swine.
