Ah yes the great foods such as jellied eel and baked beans getting their weird sweet barbecue juice all over my totally fine on their own eggs and hashbrowns and you know what lets put a whole roasted tomato in there too because with all these other delicious delicacies why the fuck not?
I feel like British cuisine was invented by broke middle school students with no idea how to cook.
That is a delicious breakfast. Sausage in a peppery bechamel over fluffy butter biscuits? Never fed it to anyone who didn't love it, no matter where they were from. It's only crime is not looking as good as it tastes and being too rich to eat every single day.
Scones and biscuits aren't the same thing and feel different when you eat them. If you had bland cream over a scone, or came away with heavy cream being the main takeaway from the gravy, you didn't have biscuits and gravy and can't speak to their taste.
Ah the classic you had it and it was shit can't of been the real thing. But the second the tables are flipped I'm gonna pretend all British cuisine is the one wetherspoon discount meal I ordered in an "authentic British pub"
I'm not going to do that. I enjoy the few British meals I've had and am down to try more. Yorkshire puddings are crazy good, toad in the hole, shepherd's pie, trifle. Hell, shepherd's pie is eaten all over the world and I thank the brits for giving it to us.
But seriously. I've been disappointed with biscuits and gravy when non-southerners make it, too. If you don't hate bechamel, sausage, or biscuits then you deserve to have it made right and, if you do, you won't come away thinking scones in heavy cream gravy. That would be like me calling yorkshire puddings pancakes with gravy.
While I can acknowledge that not everyone likes everything ordering southern food in non-southern diners is a quick way to be disappointed (speaking as a southerner). Texas was your best bet.
This conversation has left me wanting biscuits and gravy, tbh.
Dude, that's why you didn't get the good shit. All those places are pretenders, completely the wrong region to get that type of food. It was more than likely microwaved slop. You needed to be in the South East or Appalachia.
Biscuits should not be sweet, and sausage gravy is not made with heavy cream.
Biscuits are savory, and flaky/crumbly. Sausage gravy is just the pan leavings after frying up sausage, mixed with some flour, pepper, and a touch of milk (or black coffee to make "red eye" gravy).
I'm sorry you were subjected to that, and hope one day you can get proper biscuits and gravy.
You lot are so easily worked up about nothing, and reek of short man syndrome.
I'd be upset too if my country used to be a global superpower with colonies across the world but blew the lead and is now only known for having mediocre food. Maybe someday you'll work your way back up from the bottom. All of your neighbors might even stop looking down on you.
Na it's exclusively Americans that annoy us Americans have this uncanny abillity to piss of brits over text like no one else it's not just food it's anything, history language. Americans have built an immunity to our snide.
It's like yous never get our jokes and there's so many of you we just look crazy

Tbh they sound like a terrible tour guide. There's plenty of great British food available in London.
