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. ;)

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???
Bojangles makes decent B&G

Oh, gack, you just made me throw up a little bit in the back of my throat.

US biscuits are not scones.
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.

And despite many visits to the US I never managed to see B&G on a menu. Obviously my loss.
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.

Grew up in Texas and I can count on one hand places I've visited north of the Mason Dixon that make a good biscuit, not even getting into the gravy yet. So that said... I make it myself, same as my brisket. Seriously simple recipe and doesn't take that long to make. My recipe started with these two: Biscuits[^] Gravy[^] There is one place around where I live now that I trust but only if I'm desperate for a fix. Arby's and Hardees' are eh, although Chick-Fil-A biscuits are actually pretty decent. No gravy there though. Biggest problem is the wheat used is all wrong, needs to be a soft red winter wheat. Seriously, try a McDonald's biscuit in the south vs the north. They are quite different. Second common mistake is over-mixing the dough, so instead of fluffy they are hockey pucks. The gravy should not be healthy. I use lard or at the very least the drippings from whatever sausage I'm putting in. It is the same for my chicken fried steak gravy. Whole milk or if I'm feeling decadent I opt for heavy cream of half and half.

well yes, gravy is a sauce.
A sauce made by mixing the fat and juices exuded by meat during cooking with stock and other ingredients. Oxford Dictionaries[^]
roux is fat and flour, used to make sauces (including gravy)

Closest I got to the South was Dallas. Most of my visits were Colorado (beautiful state) and the Western seaboard (LA, Bay area, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver - both of them).
i can't say i'd recommend seeking it out, next time you're over here. but it's not bad if you come across it. it's very filling!

By "Biscuits" and "Gravy" I assume you mean light scones and wallpaper paste as that is what I found it means when I was in Oklahoma and Texas. So, I don't like the "Gravy" but the "Biscuits" are not too bad with plenty of butter and perhaps honey.

Bojangles, one good thing North Carolina will always be able to claim.
