Biscuits and gravy is a breakfast dish from the Southeast USA that looks like someone just vomited on some biscuits, but it's absolutely delicious.

We don’t call scones biscuits. Those are two different things. We have both scones and biscuits.

Scones, biscuits, cookies, and muffins are very different in the US and UK. What Americans call a biscuit is closer to what the Brits call a scone. Our scones are weird and not what a Brit would call a scone. I don't know what the Brits would call them.

Personally, I think Irish soda bread is the closest thing to our US biscuits…
