Biscuits??

[Dads_Taxi]

Please could someone explain biscuits to me?

Lots of people seem to eat them in American novels, but I have no idea what they are. They appear to accompany any meal, or they do in the novels I read.

Thanks.

They actually look a bit like scones but aren't as sweet. Another hing they often have with meals corn bread or corn muffins.

I really like them but the first time I saw 'Biscuits & Gravy' on a restaurant menu, I found the thought quite disgusting.

"Grits"

Now that is a product I have never been able to get my head ( or taste buds) around.

And of course if you want 'biscuits' (our kind) you ask for cookies. Two nations divided by a common language is so true [msnwink]

If you want imported English foods in Florida, look in the supermarkets 'Ethnic' aisle - honestly!

P.S Andrew I agree, grits, yuk [sick]

andrew[/quote]Love grits! A blob of butter and salt and pepper and it's yummy!

Everyone's gotta try it once, you never know, you might just like it...

I tried grits once that was enough for me, I thought it was tasteless and boring.[msnwink]

I suppose I got my liking for grits and corn dogs from working in North Carolina. Though I dont like biscuits with gravey![msneek]

I have never tried the biscuits with gravy especailly for breakfast, the gravy looks like mushroom soup to me..............I do love maple syrup on my bacon tho!
