Thank you, I remember being young and trying them for the first time excited as American culture had bigged them up no end, and they turned out to be bland as anything and nothing on a custard cream.
I’m custard cream till I die. Bourbons are the duller biscuit. Naturally, as a minor and inconsequential personal preference, I will fight to the death all who disagree.
And that’s why the American language is so strange.
I think one day in history the dictionary everyone used got coffee on it and the words had no definitions so they had to assign them to whatever they thought was right. Sadly they were wrong.
No no no. We FIXED them. Imagine being br*tish. Putting random “u”s in words. ColOur hOnoUr mOuLd. Imagine having a whole letter that only the 1%ers can even pronounce (its “t” pronounced like “s” but with a burst of air instead of a stream of air, and more pressure from the tongue onto the hard palate). We turned linguistic drift into linguistic power-slide.
Any time i hear a br*tish “person” talking, regardless of location or occasion, i rev my Ford f-450 supermax lifted truck (from which i removed the muffler) as hard as i can. This produces three strictly beneficial effects:
1 i can no longer hear the br*t “talking” 2 all of the smoke blocks sight of who is talking 3 the beautiful aroma that comes from the powerful black smoke reminds me of the most important things in life freedom, privatized healthcare, and tea in the ocean.
Actually most of our words are British words but Britain changed there meaning take soccer thats what the English used to call it because of the long socks the players wore Britain lost the memo but America remembered
Mostly tasteless? You need to try a better biscuit. Also, while that biscuits and gravy thing is true, they’re more often either on the side or cut in half with bacon and eggs or something in between the halves. It’s not something you want to eat every day, but once every few months on a Saturday morning it’s incredible.
I’m not sure that person has ever actually had a biscuit. I’ve never had a “spongey” biscuit. They are nothing like muffins either, which are closer to cake.
Where I’m from we serve them with a sausage patty in between the halves, and gravy on top. No one eats just a plain biscuit by itself… And they’re supposed to be fluffy and moist, not ‘crumby.’ What was described in the original comment is exactly what a plain, stale biscuit tastes like. That’s like an American taking a cold can of chili, dumping it on a slice of bread, and talking about how terrible beans on toast is…
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.
Someone really needs to start making actual bourbon biscuits.
Like, yeah, they’re the best and all that. But, what if I need that bit of something to get me through the day? I can’t have a drink at 9 am because it’s frowned upon. But a biscuit? Yeah, that’s calm.
