    And if you do, where do you get it? I like B&G, and I usually get it from Arby's (They do a true Southern-Style B&G. Yum!) I've also heard good things about Hardees' B&G.

    What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

    I tried some last year at a Diner in Montpelier (Vermont) and it was crap. BTW, the Diner was replaced with a Pub this year ...

    I'd rather be phishing!

      Scones should be served with Jam and Clotted Cream, not with a savoury jus. A Biscuit is a crisp, baked product that you would probably miss-label as a "Cookie". A "Cookie" is soft, not crisp.

      "biscuits" in parts of the US can also be what the rest of of the world calls muffins.

        I believe most people do it the other way, but there is no right or wrong way apparently. :-)

        Oh yes there is. In Devon (where I first lived in this country) it is cream first. In Cornwall (where my son lives) it is apparently jam first. I know which tastes better. ;)

              southern biscuits are much lighter than scones.

                  Cream first has more calories though, worth considering if watching your weight. :)

                          And judging by the picture on Wikipedia[^], US gravy is not gravy. :)

                            that's because your country doesn't know food.

                              And yet everything I've seen, heard or read about your country's cuisine suggests you value quantity over quality. ;P

                                THIS! Although their gravy used to be better. They've made it more mild than 30 years ago.

                                      it's mostly a breakfast thing, and probably harder to find outside the south (south-east, that is).

                                          I'm not going to argue with that. It seems that most low-viscosity food garnishes that contain cornstarch or flower as a thickening agent is called gravy even when they are clearly a sauce or a roux.
