    Food looks great and a petfect place to go. Chocolate gravy is an old timey, easy to make Southern dish. Usually, you pour the gravy over the biscuits like you do white peppered gravy. Also, look up tomato gravy online. It is also a Southern thing and very good. Tangy, but good. Nancy from Arkansas

    At 54 yrs young I grew up on chocolate gravy as a Saturday/ Sunday morning treat every Summer staying with my grandmother. We're from middle TN born and raised here and it's a classic Southern Heritage part of our lives. It was special❤

    3 cup milk
    Instructions
    Melt butter in a saucepan.
    Add cocoa, flour, and sugar. Cook two minutes.
    Add milk and whisk.
    Bring to boil and boil 2 minutes.
    Reduce to simmer and add vanilla.
    Simmer until thick.
    Cool slightly. Split biscuits then spoon chocolate gravy over the top.

    My grandmother would make chocolate gravy when i was young but hers was called Poor Do . They were so poor they made Do . Ours was not thick. She used butter, cocoa powder, sugar,and vanilla , made a roux... and thicken with flour but ours is a thin gravy. Pourable. The best for buiscuts and pancakes

    I was raised on chocolate gravy and biscuits. The way we had them was mama cooked a huge pan of biscuits and we split them open and buttered all of them right in the middle, then she cooked a great big pot of chocolate gravy and we would chop the biscuits up all over our plates and then pour that chocolate gravy all over them. We would have sausage or bacon or ham with them but I tell you sausage chopped up and sprinkled all over the top of that gravy really set it off from everything else. I raise my kids on it too and they still love it to this day. Everybody we knew ate chocolate gravy. At least on my daddy’s side of the family. And my daddy side of the family was all over the Holler that we lived in and in Summertown and Lawrenceburg which were the two cities adjoining, one on each side of us. Love your videos. God bless y’all.

Those jams looked so yummy and delicious and the mill was really very interesting! I wish someone would bring me to Tennessee but, they won't! Please eat a biscuit for me when you make some!
