Breakfast for dinner is an American tradition in this household!
Same here
Yeah, the US household 😅
lol yeah I always make a breakfast dish at night and eat nothing in the morning 😅
Yay Brinner!
Lots of American households like this! 😄
I had my gastric bypass in 2001, and when preparing for it one of my doctors at the time told me something I never forgot - "Your stomach has no idea what time it is, why you are eating cereal for dinner or having Chinese food at 2 am. Your stomach has no concept of time and doesn't care when or what you eat." And it's totally true of course. Now as you get older, naturally what you eat may not necessarily agree with your stomach but that's different than what the doctor was trying to get across. This idea you can't eat this or that at specific times of the day is ridiculous. The whole concept of "breakfast for dinner" is backwards since the stomach doesn't care about time but it's a great idea nonetheless isn't it? :)
We will eat biscuits and gravy anytime of the day. Usually for breakfast, but sometimes for other meals.
It seems like other parts of the world are hung up on only having certain foods at specific meals, while we tend to be happy to have whatever we like, whenever we like. Why should a food ONLY be for breakfast or dinner?
Yeah B&G are damn good at any meal! I never liked grits much as a kid, but love ‘em as an adult. Those cheesy grits looked great!
Same here... it's just as good for dinner as it is for breakfast
Agree..... There are alot of Breakfast foods I will have for supper..... One reason being in the mornings I usually don't have the extra time for Prep/Cleanup......
We tended to have biscuits and gravy for dinner. I never thought about it, because it was normal for us, but maybe it was because my mother had to leave for work early, and she just had more time to do it at dinner? Anyway, always good.
There are no rules when I comes to food,eat what you want,when you want
Sure, sure, sure. There are some rules though. Like, if you use a knife and fork to eat your soft breakfast taco. You can do it, like Millie did. Everyone is going to look at you like you ride the short bus. But, yeah, you can do it.
That is the American way
@@franksmith4730anyone watching a stranger eat is already way weirder then whatever the person eating is doing.
@@nullakjg767 That was such a deep comment. You must be all of 13 years old. Your mommy must be very proud of you.
Yeah, I am sure anyone watching people put a camera in front of themselves before they start eating are *the weird ones* .
The upside down fork is killing me. Ya gotta scoop up as much gravy as the fork will hold😂😂😂
I don’t know when biscuits and sausage gravy became the ultimate new food experience when visiting the US, but I get a kick out it every time. Glad you liked this Southern treat! Peace …
Might be because it's so simple, yet so easy to mess up, and they keep hearing about it from Americans and have no idea what they mean.
That kind of sausage is literally called "breakfast sausage" because, well, you eat it for breakfast.
It is a different kind of sausage so if making it at home, make sure you get breakfast sausage.
It hasn’t clicked for them yet that “sausage” can be a substance rather than an item either. This may take a while.
The only problem for James and Millie is that the UK doesn't have sausage like our breakfast sausage. Their sausage has different spices (kinda heavy on the cloves and not enough sage) that makes it less than perfect for making true sausage gravy. Their best bet is to find a recipe online for American breakfast sausage and make it themselves at home. It's really not as hard as it might sound, as long as you can get bulk ground pork and some common herbs and spices. When making sausage gravy, everyone that I know, uses bulk ground sausage and not the links anyway.
If you can get hold of some Regular Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sausage, grab it. It is the best sausage to use with the gravy.
True I use Jimmy Deans Hot it has just the perfect kick and flavor 💯
The Jimmy Dean’s sage sausage is also amazing for gravy!
@amandaBlair334 wait, they have a sage sausage? They don't have that at my local store now om going to have to go hunting to try it lol
Ew. Complete crap. Get sausage from a local farm. Even better to make your own.
Around here, Blue and Gold is the way to go. If your ever in/around Oklahoma, try and pick some up. It's only available from school kids, they sell it either as a fund raiser for schools or at the 1 store in Jones, Ok, that's it. But it is worth it, it's the single best sausage I've ever had.
If Millie likes the gravy more peppery, there is A pepper and salt shaker on the table😂 Also you didnt add any of the salsa to the taco, Millie just pushed it aside.😮
It should have been peppery, but, yeah, that’s an easy fix.
British people don't season their food, that's why they like Indian food. It comes pre seasoned and sauced.
salser, innit?
Lol! You don't eat the cheese off of the top of the grits you stir it into them then eat.
@@RA82828 I was giving them instructions not a hard time.
@@RA82828the op did not have malicious intent with the comment. They observed something humorous and kindly informed them.
hell yeah, also dump that whole thing of butter in there and stir it up with some salt & pepper, now you got some grits
👍
That little salsa cup that Millie pushed aside was actually supposed to go on the breakfast taco. 😬😉 There's not much flavor without it. So glad you enjoyed your breakfast. The biscuits and gravy look spot on. 😍
I prefer no salsa on breakfast tacos
I'm glad you saw that too, I was about to mention that, thankfully I read your comment first! Hopefully, Millie tried it with her cut pieces she made.
Gravy without the sausage is usually accompanies something like chicken fried steak, because it’s being served over meat. Gray for biscuits usually as sausage in it. Millie you pushed the salsa for the burrito aside! It’s usually poured over the top or you dip each bite into it.
In my Alabama home cheese grits look nothing like what you were served. I don’t dump the cheese on top, but instead, I stir the cheese into the hot grits until the cheese is well blended.
Exactly! I'm not even from the south but I would never layer the cheese on top. It would be mixed in (3-4 different cheeses too😁😋).
That’s grits with cheese, nor cheese grits
I’m in Alabama, too. You’re right - the cheese is supposed to be stirred into the hot grits and melted. There also must be butter. Real butter. No margarine.
I am an American, and my mother's side of the family is from the South, and I LOVE biscuits and gravy! I would say that it is traditionally a breakfast food, but honestly, I would be happy to eat them at any meal or for any occasion.
Brits and their knives and forks. It cracks us Americans up. Great video. Glad you tired them and keep trying different things.
🌸 I wonder if James and Millie noticed that the knife wasn't used by many people in the restaurant while eating their breakfast.
Americans use knives and forks, too. If you don't, I don't know what to say.
@@shannacraft4099 what on earth are you talking about??
@@Marcel_AudubonI think they’re talking about how a lot of times you can use the side of the fork to cut stuff that isn’t very tough
@@drivers99 you can bury your face in the plate and not cut anything at all, too, but why would you?
Brits: eat blood sausage and tomatoes for breakfast
Also Brits: white gravy made of flour, milk, butter and breakfast sausage?? That ain't a breakfast food!
Who puts butter in their gravy?
@@moorek1967 people who know how to make gravy lol
@@charlesbrown4483 People who make cake batter.
B&Gs is definitely a breakfast foot...but ..hearty enough to make a great supper/dinner as well 😉😁
That’s what’s for supper tonight at my house!
Nothing better than breakfast for supper…
Brinner
The farmers in my family living in Kentucky ate biscuits and gravy every morning. They loved it and really needed the calories. You can make the gravy with sausage, ham, or bacon.
I like the breakfast gravy on my fried chicken tenders and popcorn chickens. There are no rules when it comes to eating in my humble opinion.
You can tell you are Brits because you hold your folks upside down. :)
she immediately dismisses the sauce. so British.
There's really no need for ridicule. It's unnecessary.
@@GamingWithPatrick87 LOL.But it is so very British.
which is very odd because brits love to pour curry sauce over just about anything...
@@GamingWithPatrick87 you suck up.
Tell us you tried the salsa with the breakfast taco (off camera)! It's a total game changer.
a good sausage gravy starts with browning the sausage, then remove the sausage and keep sausage grease in the pan. then add any seasonings, heavy cream, flour, and anything else to taste. (black pepper is very common) keep stirring it while slowing adding the flour until it's a rich creamy color and slightly watery. (it'll thicken up quickly).
Americans eat a lot of breakfast foods for supper/diner/lunch. Pancakes or waffles are another food we often eat for any meal.
A couple of tips for your home made B&Gs...always split and butter the biscuits before adding the sausage gravy...and use a healthy dose of black pepper on top of gravy 🔥
It also depends on the person and their biscuits.
Like my mom's home made biscuits are so amazing bo butter is needed and they're so fluffy that no need to cut them in half. I just dump a good pile of gravy on top of them. I'm glad I learned how to make my mom's biscuits.
As for the gravy for me it all depends if it does or doesn't have sausage in it. If it does I tone down the salt and pepper. If it doesn't I may add more salt and pepper to taste. To me too much pepper and salt actually ruins the taste. Believe me because I've known some people to have dumped their normal amount of salt and pepper in the gravy while cooking it but when it came to eating it I wass un-edible for me after the first bite.
I don’t do butter if I’m doing gravy but I do add salt/pepper which I’ve never seen them do to anything
And egg😜🤤
And a little red chili flakes.
wrong
Put the salsa on that burrito!
sorry if anyone has already commented this: biscuits and gravy would have been enjoyed at like 5:30 am before getting out to tend the fields and animals of small farms originally. Of course very few of us live that kind of life these days and don't blame you for thinking it's pretty heavy and hearty for a breakfast food...this was by design to fuel hard-working farmers in the fields, and would have helped stretch sausage further. sausage itself being a way to use the odds and ends kept after the primal cuts of the hog would have been used or sold for income with additional salt as preservative. I like to think, if the pig had a name from being lovingly fed and tended, you would try to extend the meat by creating dishes such as this! :D the gravy is a way of creating something from the grease that renders out of the sausage rather than wasting it. You can also make biscuits in the morning as they don't require proofing/rising like bread.
Biscuits and gravy is a like a warm hug. Those of us from the south grew up with our grandma making this for us.
That's Right. Comfort Food!!!!
Biscuits n Gravy know no clock!! They are great anytime of the day!! And those looked very tasty!! For the grits, I always cook mine w/ butter and salt, then add them over top of my fried eggs...over easy! The runny yolk mixes great w/ the grits. Then sop it all up with toast
On the edge of my seat. Come On! Do it! Gravy with the eggs. Please!
I'm so disappointed.
I am ALWAYS hungry after watching one of your food videos!!
Sausage and gravy is a antime meal.
I adore the way Brits hold their forks.
So glad to see y'all try a local diner. They can definitely be hit and miss, especially when it comes to biscuits and gravy, but when you find a good one they're unbelievably good.
Butter grits with shrimp. To die for.
True biscuits and gravy is a proper breakfast.
I generally make my grits with chicken stock instead of water for savory applications. Shrimp and grits also taste a lot better when you make them on a smoker. 👍
As a TEXAN, I regret to inform you that eating a taco with a fork and knife is a crime.
You’re lucky the Taco Police weren’t there! 🌮 👮♂️ 🤨
they use forks and knives all the time.
😂
Well, it WAS an over-full taco. You learn this by eating with others, no problem.
My mother used a fork to eat PIZZA. But she was a very proper lady, even over pizza or tacos. 😅. We laughed at her about it, but very gently.
That wasn't a taco. That looked like a breakfast burrito on a too small tortilla. Unless it's an open face street taco, it's a serious crime to eat a taco with a fork here in California.
Fun Video. Foods of the south. Amazing what they came up with.
You may know, but a little background.
if you look at the southern foods - Especially like grits and Biscuits and gravy, they have a history.
Many in the south worked in agriculture or other very labor intensive jobs and we not wealthy.
If you look at it:
Biscuits - Flour, butter, milk . . .
Gravy - Flour, milk (and maybe some sausage, pepper, sage, bacon).
Would be inexpensive yet warm, filling and calories to get you from 5am to noon time.
Enjoy your travels
I’ve never seen anyone who didn’t like biscuits and gravy. I’m not a grits fan either. The eggs looked delicious! 🤗❤️🐝
I don’t like biscuits and gravy and I was born in the Midwest.
My mom used to make it on Sundays usually and the smell makes me want to barf.
I don’t care for white gravy very much. And grits aren’t that great either.
But that is just me. The rest of my family loves biscuits and gravy.
I personally like a breakfast that is lighter on the tummy.
Eggs with mushrooms, tomatoes and green onions and scoop it all up with a tortilla is good for a weekend breakfast for me.
@@anissasoots2623 Well,, I guess there had to be someone somewhere that didn’t like them.🤗❤️🐝
Americans only use a fork for biscuits & gravy. If we use a spoon then the gravy was too thin. If you need a knife then we are dealing with someone learning how to make biscuits.
That looks sooooooo good. Proper biscuits and gravy!!!
James and Millie could open an American diner and serve this!
Made with sausage gravy it's mostly for breakfast, but with white milk gravy it is eaten as a side dish for lots of meals.
Yes, it is common for breakfast time, but it can be eaten for any meal or even as a side dish of a meal. 😋
Love this, I had some this morning. Sometimes, I put eggs on the biscuits and then add the gravy.
I ate it every day when I was a kid. We were poor. We lived in the country in Mississippi. I make it occasionally now.
The good thing about diners is that you can have breakfast any time. So if you want it for dinner you can do it!
I love the way Millie's digging into those biscuits! It's got me thinking where I can go for them tomorrow.
I love my gravy with lots of pepper.
Add some red chili flakes
I’m not a fan of biscuits and gravy for breakfast. But love it for supper. Now my hubby could eat it any meal.
You didn't put the salsa on the taco.
it puts the salsa on the taco or it gets the hose!
So glad you got to try biscuits and gravy here in the U.S.A.! LOVE you guys! 🇺🇸🏈❤️
What a charming family. I'm happy for you to have such memorable experiences.
Biscuits and sausage gravy, and 2 lightly scrambled eggs. A breakfast fit for a king, or queen.
Now that's what we call biscuits and gravy....glad you guys enjoyed it biscuits and gravy is good for anytime of the day ...great for winter days or dinner....
I usually eat biscuits and gravy for breakfast but breakfast is appropriate any time of day. I often eat breakfast menu for dinner. Because it's so popular, many restaurants serve breakfast menu items all day long.
Bless your hearts 💕. You two look down right exhausted in this video. Glad you guys enjoyed yourselves.
In the US we usually eat sausage like that for breakfast. Either links or patties with eggs and potatoes or in the gravy over biscuits.
I really like to eat biscuits and gravy with bacon and scrambled eggs. In high school, we ate a lot of French fries and gravy. French fries or Frito corn chips are good with Wolf Brand chilli, shredded cheese, and pickled jalapeno slices. You need them pickled/ canned, so they'll be soft enough to eat.
Hope you enjoyed!
the thing about grits is, that whenever it has a topping like cheese or hot sauce, you have to mix the toppings into it a bit while it's still piping hot, otherwise the toppings will run out before you even finish the grits and then you end up with a lot of just plain grits at the bottom of the bowl.
Here in the US one of our favorite things is having breakfast for dinner. It's a Thing for us. But biscuits and gravy is the perfect winter breakfast. It's warm, tasty and sticks to your bones (as my mom would say). Glad you enjoyed it and I hope you're enjoying your time here!
Only the H’s know to put taco sauce or salsa on their tacos and burritos ! All other British you tubers ignore it. What a shame !
The "H''s ....lol
Even Baby H dips her fries
i bet they will try it next time, maybe nobody told them but yes that sauce for the taco is a must! lol
If it was a regular taco, sure, but it's just a breakfast taco with just bacon/egg/cheese...it's good and moist enough on it's own.
To be honest, I really don't like salsa on my tacos or burritos. Not much of a spice person.
The trick is - put it ALL on the same plate! and YUM!
You can eat it any time of day!
Also, biscuits and gravy used to be a farmers breakfast. Hearty enough to work outside most of the day before coming in for dinner. Nowadays it's more of a weekend thing, or a dinner thing!
That's making my mouth water.
I like breaking up American style crispy bacon in my grits. also enjoy shrimp and cheesy grits is delicious also. I agree biscuits are served as a bread for any meal breakfast, lunch or dinner! :)
Let's start with this.... Americans can eat and do eat breakfast food for supper supper food for breakfast. You eat what you want to you're not going to be judged for it. I wouldn't have survived college we're not not for leftover pizza that I ate for breakfast.
Breakfast in America Mary from person to person. There is no such thing as an American breakfast. You're going to have for breakfast and option of some kind of pork bacon ham or sausage, eggs cooked however you like them including omelettes scrambled fried. The only thing I don't usually see is poached not many people eat poached eggs and the us. You're going to have some kind of bread or toast if I'm getting waffles or pancakes I don't usually order any kind of bread to go with my breakfast. And then you have options of sides. Some people like sliced tomatoes some people like fruit, others want hash browns or grits. We just believe if it's there and we think it up will try it
As far as southern breakfast goes, 1 traditional gravy has some sausage bits or in it or it was cooked with some sausage or bacon grease to give it a little flavoring. My son's a vegetarian so he makes his white gravy without any kind of meat product. He just seasons it with salt and pepper.
Try different foods 1 different ways and decide what you like. Don't let society dictate it to you.
By the way many people's favorite time to eat breakfast is late at night after they've been out with their friends or they've come home from a ball game or that's one of the things about living in America that makes it worth surviving hurricanes and tornadoes LOL.
Biscuits and gravy is a great breakfast when your doing a big day after eating it. It keeps with you until lunch and is great with a fresh cup of coffee
I live by this place. It's called Cafe 1431, because it's on FM 1431 aka Whitestone Blvd. I believe most people just refer to it as 1431, as it changes names several times.
I really enjoy your videos. 👍
🤤 🤤Looks absolutely delicious!😋 😋 So happy that you enjoyed your time here. Hopefully you come back for more. 🙃
“Fourteen thirty one cafe” is how us locals pronounce it. It is located on a road called FM 1431 (farm to market). And it is in Cedar Park Texas just north of Austin.
Put some butter right in the middle of your grits. Some people even sprinkle it with sugar. It is basically boiled coarse ground corn. You can almost make it taste like liquid buttered popcorn. That's why it tastes so good with cheese. We don't have any problem with spreading that gravy right into our scrambled eggs or over the top of hash browned potatoes. It's almost like a universal breakfast topping.
Normally biscuit sausage gravy is a quick breakfast item at McDonald's or Hardee's. But at a proper sit down restaurant or cafe or at home on the weekend it is usually served with eggs bacon or sausage or ham and hash browns. I prefer a little sausage gravy on the hash browns as well.
I love traditional breakfast foods at supper instead of at the start of my day.
Texas is kind of adjacent to the true grits region of the South, but I definitely add butter and then mix it up, if it has cheese on top like they served, mix it on up and then see if it needs butter or anything else, like a little sugar.
No sugar. Yuck
@@dalemoore8582 savory grits are better, i cook mine with chicken stock instead of water and melt the cheese into it as they cook. but if it comes down to plain grits or some people have spiked with butter and sugar, the sugar option tastes like SOMETHING.
Love Biscuits and Gravy!!!!! My Mom didn't make it with sausage growing up but I like it both ways!!!! We mostly had it for breakfast but once a month or so my Mom would fix Breakfast food for dinner......and had to have Gravy and Biscuits!!!! Great stuff!!!!!
My family has always had this for dinner
I've had visitors from England and Ireland. When I said I was making biscuits and gravy for breakfasst, they said they didn't want it. Then they smelled it and changed their minds. They both went back for seconds.
Most of us in the south have it anytime. For breakfast or dinner, especially in the winter.
As would be true for many of us from the Northeast, you have now eaten more grits than I ever have. You got there with the first spoonful.
Yeah... I've had grits and biscuits with gravy at a hotel buffet, but at no other time. I liked them but probably wouldn't ordinarily order them.
I live in Massachusetts but have eaten grits for more than 50 years. I married a So Carolina man and as soon as I tried them... It was Game On! My babies started on grits as soon as they could eat solid foods, instead of baby pablum. They loved them then and still do as middle age adults. In fact, my son asked me to cook him some cheese grits with scrambled eggs and bacon for his 35th birthday some years back. Even Northerners can cook some grits like a Southerner. Nothing like that Comfort food cooked by Mama!
So you have never eaten polenta, Yankee? Then you have had grits. White corn instead of yellow, only real difference.
@@jeffreysmith236 NOBODY eats grits in south Texas. I never even heard of it until I joined the Navy. Biscuits and gravy is also unknown down here, unless you find one of those gross breakfast buffets that 70-year-olds frequent. Breakfast is served in taco form.
@@jeffreysmith236 No, no polenta. Don't even know what it is.
In my almost 70 years, I have never tried grits, or biscuits and gravy or whatever that is in the soft taco shell. I will have to put that on my bucket list. Safe travels from the northeast NYS.
I love biscuit and gravy, but I am 53 and never tried grits either. They just don't look good to me personally...
Why are you using your knife? It is tender enough to cut with your fork alone.
Grits with salt and butter goes with crumbled bacon - Perfection!
Biscuits and sausage gravy does make a good one-dish supper, but it is more often thought of as breakfast, albeit a heavy one, suited to the kind of heavy manual labor that most people no longer do. It's perfect in the morning before shoveling deep snow. Or when you're thinking about going outside to shovel snow. Or pouring another cup of coffee and watching the neighbors shovel snow.
Biscuits and Gravy uses breakfast sausage which is different from other types of sausage. It's actually super simple to make at home. Just fry the sausage in a pan, don't drain the grease, and then add milk. Mix in some black pepper. Heat and stir until you get your preferred consistency.
We use breakfast sausage to make it with and biscuits are a.breakfast food too. .the key is the breakfast sausage
The perfect time for B & G is late at night after you've left a bar/pub, but need some food to soak up the alcohol.
Even without cheese we usually put butter, salt and pepper on grits! Sometimes hot sauce or eaten with a runny egg
The main thing Fresh Steaming Biscuits and Gravy with (nice coating of black pepper on top) it's perfect for pre warming oneself up before having to go out to do outside work on those cold days or for 1 or 2 days out of the month where you are not going to do anything and just relax the whole day at home.....may i also add that It's a Dish that literally Warms ones Soul and gives off a Guilty Pleasure vibe at the same time.
One of my favorite Southern Comfort Foods. I used to make it for dinner a lot or brunch on Sundays for my family, it's inexpensive, filling and delicious! So glad y'all liked it 🫶
You guys are so wholesome and a pleasure to watch!
Grits are best one of two ways. One, with cheese and bacon, or with butter and sugar (and maybe cinnamon).
My mom made biscuits and gravy with either sausage or bacon. You just take the drippings after frying the meat, and add butter or oil and flour and make a rue, adding salt and pepper, then stir in milk and then when bubbling, add a little flour until it’s the right thickness
Biscuits & Gravy is to die for!! It is so good!! 😂😂😂😂
Looks like proper bisquits and gravy! Excellent.
The biscuits and gravy looked really good. That restaurant did them the classic way, which is the right way to do them.
Biscuits and Gravy and Omlets, scrambled eggs, breakfast burritos, waffles, pancakes, toast, egg sandwiches, etc can be eaten anytime. We sometimes have breakfast for supper. Mostly they’re breakfast but we Americans will eat any food at any time of the day or night, lol!❤
Biscuits n Gravy is good for any meal. We have breakfast for our supper fairly regular.
That gravy isn't just for breakfast. Growing up my mom would make it with fried chicken or pork chops and we would put it over fried potatoes. She would make it from the grease and crispy bits left over after frying the meat. You can literally make it from any animal fat left from frying something, even just butter in a pan add flower then salt and pepper to taste and add milk when the flower browns to your liking (AVOID BURNING THE FLOWER AT ALL COSTS). It won't thicken till it boils and I suggest whisking or stirring well until then, but not vigorously.
My nephew was a cook in the Army in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He came home with several recipes that his future wife and kids would come to love, one of them being sausage gravy over biscuits. His kids beg for it any time of day. All three of the kids can now prepare it as well as their dad. They are 15, 13 and 10, and extremely comfortable in the kitchen. BTW, in birth order, they are boy, boy and girl.
We love it any time of day, too. I loved making it when I was able, but now I've talked the hubs through preparing it a few times and it's something he's become comfortable with, too. I like my sausage gravy fairly peppery, but hubs prefers it less so. It used to be the other way around but he's bothered now by reflux and things just don't go down so easily for him now.
For the record, we have what we call breakfast burritos one or two times a month. We enjoy them a lot, but of course, they do take a bit more prep than just frying an egg and putting a couple of slice of bread in the toaster. :) We brown a bit of loose sausage, adding chili powder and cumin and some oregano to spice it up a bit more "Mexican," and then set it aside while scrambling a few eggs after sauteing an onion and a bit of green peppers, again seasoning up the egg/veg mixture. Then we load it onto a tortilla with cheese and a bit of salsa and sour cream and voila! :)
Biscuits and gravy were originally a farm breakfast -- lots of cheap calories to get you through a day of hard manual labor. But it tastes soooooo good...
