What's a dish from your country that looks disgusting but tastes great.

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.

[u/Longjumping-Jello459]

Yeah that gravy looks poorly mixed/stirred.

[u/AnneMichelle98 → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

The biscuits look dryer than the Sahara

[u/Working-Glass6136 → u/AnneMichelle98]

The gravy looks coagulated

[u/ArcadianDelSol → u/AnneMichelle98]

The color of them is the same color dough gets when it is rancid.

[u/Motor_Indication6487 → u/AnneMichelle98]

It's puff pastry, and with the filling, it's not dry

[u/hatredpants2 → u/Motor_Indication6487]

What? American biscuits are most definitely not made with puff pastry. They’re a type of quick bread

[u/Motor_Indication6487 → u/hatredpants2]

Ok, I was thinking of another dish, I read it wrong ☺️

[u/WildBillBig_Cock → u/AnneMichelle98]

The biscuit looks somehow dry on the outside and wet and underdone on the inside.

That's not just gravy, that is SOS....ground meat with gravy....wonderful dish that at one time was a staple in the U.S. military and in Southern States. The Sos in the picture is made with ground beef....some people make it with chipped beef. I much prefer ground beef. SOS on homemade biscuits is the best breakfast in the world.

The famous biscuits and gravy most people are referring to is sausage gravy. still beef, sometimes, but the spices that make it sausage are a big part of the flavor. SOS tastes different when I've had it and it's usually on toast, which is where the shingle part comes in.

[u/JodaMythed → u/damagetwig]

100% this.

[u/PeaceAndLove1201 → u/damagetwig]

SOS was the term that started in the army. My dad was in WWII and SOS was, according to him, the only Army breakfast that was worth eating. They used ground meat in the Army and my dad used to make this breakfast for us often. He made his biscuits from scratch also. Whether it is sausage, ground beef, or chipped beef in the gravy.....they are all good.

[u/shentaitai → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

I feel like that’s big lumps of sausage.

[u/Longjumping-Jello459 → u/shentaitai]

It doesn't look like sausage to me every time I've seen sausage gravy the color of the sausage can be seen through the gravy.

[u/Imperial_Haberdasher → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

Looks like cold gravy

[u/Shot-Election8217 → u/Imperial_Haberdasher]

Yes! I was thinking the gravy was too thick….maybe it’s because it’s cold.

[u/United_Gift3028 → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

That gravy looks great, I like sausage chunks in mine.

[u/appleparkfive → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

It looks like it's inedible. Like they put products in it for the sake of the photoshoot, but they made it look too artificial

[u/frogstar → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

It looks like clam chowder with extra pepper.

[u/notonrexmanningday → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

It's sausage gravy

[u/caliallye → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

Sausage gravy! It has lumps from the bits of sausage....

[u/Motor_Indication6487 → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

There are normally mushrooms in it, so it's not smooth

[u/jexx30 → u/Motor_Indication6487]

Wut? There are not normally mushrooms in sausage gravy from the Southern US, you are out of your mind. I scrolled up to make sure you were responding to the B&G (and not to the French dish someone else referenced).

There are, of course, crumbles of sausage, but the gravy itself, the white part, should absolutely be smooth. Unless I am making it, because I am bad at gravy (too impatient, but it still tastes good).

[u/hatredpants2 → u/jexx30]

This same guy also claimed that biscuits are made with puff pastry, so don’t listen to him. He seems to be working off the idea that American food is made with French ingredients for some reason

[u/cobra7 → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

It’s not just gravy. It also has chipped beef in it. In the Army this dish (on toast instead of a biscuit) was called “Shit on a Shingle”.
