      It does confuse them because the biscuits for them are cookies to us. And biscuits for us are more like scones to then (although taste and texture are wildly different). They don’t really have anything exactly like our biscuits.

      The texture of scones feels overworked. Like they were kneaded until they seized up. Conversely, I rarely even roll or cut biscuit dough -- I just make one giant drop biscuit in a skillet, and break it up into servings. P.S. Have you ever tried using half-and-half or cream in place of buttermilk? Quite lovely, like a step into shortcake territory without adding a bit of sugar.

I forget if it takes one minute or two -- I usually just watch it "bake" so I'll know when it's done. They turn out fine that way, high and fluffy and hot, and portion control is automatic!

    That southern food kept our ancestors fortified for a hard day of work. I remember my mom getting up early to fry bacon and make biscuits. When the bacon was done she'd use the grease to make gravy.
    Nothing beats homemade biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Nothing, except maybe biscuits topped with Grandma's BlackBerry jam a pat of butter.
    It's cheap, filling, and delicious. These foods built this country and kept people alive during the depression.
    Most southern cooks have learned how to lighten up most of the recipes. Every now and then you need a plate of Grandma's cooking.

    Shaun, very enjoyable, as always. FYI, Southern Fried Steak -- also known as Chicken Fried Steak -- is the American (esp. Southern) version or adaptation of Germany's traditional dish Wiener Schnitzel. Concerning this practice of massively Huge breakfasts, except for some special occasion, I think they are less of a Southern thing and more a feature of rural farm culture. I remember as a kid (I'm 70 now) during the Summer visiting my maternal grandparents in Alabama, who had a big farm. My grandfather and a couple of "hired hands" would gather in the kitchen at about 5:30 AM for a cup of coffee, then go straight into the early morning chores. But then they'd return at around 7:30 for a big breakfast prepared by my grandmother. There would be biscuits (of course) and gravy, ham, bacon, fried eggs, fried chicken, corn in the cob, sliced tomatoes, and a variety of jams. This was the biggest meal of the day. Lunch might be bologna sandwiches or breakfast leftovers. At the end of their work day the hired men went back to their own homes for supper, and I don't know what they ate, but my grandparents are a very light meal, like corn flakes & milk, or that big Southern country favorite, Crumbled Cornbread in Buttermilk! Personally, I can't think of a better way to ruin good cornbread, but generations of Southern country folks have loved it. I thoght you might finf that interesting. Best wishes.

    Glad you enjoyed the Loveless. I live just a mile away from there. My son is a server at the Loveless he's worked there about 6 years. I often pop over there on the weekend for at least one meal, but that storm kept me at home.. I wish we had met so I could tell you in person how much I enjoy your channel. I found you because of Outlander so I go way back with you.
    The big barn is used for special events. It can be reserved for weddings, parties, small musical shows even theater. Then you can have the food catered fresh from the Loveless.
    If you ever make it back to Nashville I would love to show you the rest of the city that we called the real Nashville which is everything that's not down on lower Broadway LOL There's so much more to see and do here. My brother would be glad to take us out on his boat. We could do a river cruise or go out to one of the beautiful lakes around Nashville. There are also many beautiful city parks, festivals, museums, great universities, and of course lots more great food and people.
    In the fall we have a fun Highland Games & Celtic Festival. It's all very official. The last games O tended in 2022 were opened by some Earl of something or another I wish I remembered his name but he was part of the official governing party of the Highland Games, all the way in Nashville to kick things off.
    Like much of the southeast, we have a very large population of descendants of Scottish and Irish immigrants. Most of them settled in North Carolina and Tennessee in the early 1800s
    I look forward to seeing your adventures in Southern Florida. Blessings to both of you and stay safe!

    I think I've seen almost every one of your videos and it's clear that you really love a few big swathes of American Culture. I'm guessing that your 3 favorite things are:: SOUTHERN COOKING (the first time that you tried "Chicken Fried Steak up at that classic diner in Oregon is still one of my favorite of your videos), - and you seem to really like everything TEXAS, especially San Antonio - - and you appeared to have great experiences at every AMERICAN SPORTING EVENT that you have been to (like the GAMES that you went to in Philadelphia, and the TAILGATE Parties you saw in the parking lots at some sport's stadium, and your favorite one I think was The RODEO. Am I right that those three things are your favorites?

    Always remember that there is a little difference between southern fried steak and chicken fried steak. Just started watching some of your videos and if you make it to Texas order a chicken fried steak. Southern-fried is just dipped in a batter. Chicken-fried is dredged in flour and dipped in egg and milk mixture then dredged in flour again, then fried.

    Down the street from me is a little old 24 hour diner, it’s near an area that has a bunch of businesses off the Interstate where trucks are always coming and going. It’s been there since the 50’s, and is still owned by one of the grandkids, she’s also the hostess, cook, wait staff and chief joke teller. Some of the best country fried steak I’ve had in years, that’s definitely one of my guilty pleasures.
    But others are right, this isn’t an everyday thing, that is unless you’re up at 4AM and out the door at 5 to start farm work for 12+ hours. I grew up that way helping on the grandparents farm, we ate BIG meals first thing, a lighter dinner (lunch) then a larger supper (dinner). Sunday dinner & supper we’re always the large ones, either at church as a buffet or at home with large groups from church & family over.
    Oddly, one of the things I really enjoy is a European light style breakfast, it’s what I eat generally every day. Those big hearty meals just aren’t cool unless you’re burning all of it off out in a field.

    The biscuits are made with White Lily brand flour. That's a flour made from soft wheat, grown in the warm humid climate of the South. That's why they are so fluffy and soft. It's a very regional flour. You can't get soft wheat flour West of Oklahoma, only hard red wheat or winter wheat flour, which grows in a harsher colder climate.

    Country fried steak and chicken fried steak are exchangeable, both mean the same thing. Sunny side up is simply a way Americans cook eggs; it means the egg was not flipped or turned over during cooking, just cooked then removed from the pan. It usually leaves the yolk cooked but nice and runny.

    Scones are dense, slightly sweet, and creamy. Biscuit are much lighter & slightly tart. I think both are equally good. Try & eat on the run with a scone & you might make it there in good shape. Try that with a biscuit, and you will have some crumbs down your front. I think I prefer scones because I don't get them often.

    Shaun, you probably won't see this, but the Loveless Cafe is just a few hundred meters away from the entrance to the Natchez Track Parkway. It is a 700+ KM stretch of quiet, scenic and breathtaking road that stretches from Nashville to Natchez, Mississippi with a speed limit of 80 kmph. No stop signs, no stoplights the entire length. You won't see a single business other than a few farms. No gas stations, no McDonalds - nothing. No commercial vehicles allowed, no signs other than notices of historical sights. The best way to describe it is a road that doubles as a park. The Trace started thousands of years ago as a trail for wild animals, then became a trade route for Native American Indians and settlers. If you ever make it back to the area, this is a real taste of Americana. I just rode it beginning to end - and back - on a motorcycle this week. About 1600 KM including getting off the Parkway to get food, gas and hotels.

    Ha don’t feel bad about being overloaded on several days of Southern breakfast. No one I know eats like that everyday, more of a weekend treat. As a kid we’d often do big biscuits & gravy breakfast on Saturdays. The rest of the week it was oatmeal or cereal though. These days it’s pretty much 1 or 2 scrambled eggs and 2 pieces of bacon or sausage as my typical breakfast.
