Many years ago I had a guy who used to order a bowl of gravy and eat it like soup..lol..he'd get a bun with butter on the side to dip it in..not sure if he is still alive any more..

Ok I'm miles away from you guys, I watched a video the other day about biscuits n gravy, so my take is your biscuits are much like our scones?? Am I right there?? And your gravy is the same as ours up to where you add milk. MILK?? Our gravy is pan juices flour salt then water and Vegemite and colouring if looking for a deep rich flavour. And it's good to clean your plate with buttered bread and scoop the gravy up.
Btw. My gravy is pretty good.

Yes, our biscuits are like savory scones. There are lots of kinds of gravy, often derived from béchamel sauce. The gravy that goes with biscuits and gravy is made with breakfast sausage and yes, the liquid is milk. Is it really that unusual there?

Btw. My gravies are darn good

Gravies here have no milk..That would be called a sauce..we just thicken reduced liquid, or stock with a slurry..you can start with a roux also, but just usually meat juice, flavorings and flour..

Just wanted to add that hopefully our biscuits are light and fluffy unlike dry and dense scones.

In the southern part of the USA, biscuits and gravy is a popular dish. The gravy is often referred to as milk gravy. You may be technically correct that milk gravy is really a sauce but don't try to sell that in the South.

Yeah, biscuits and graviy isn't very Canadian. It's not that it's impossible to get it here, but we think of it as a Southern US thing.

Here in Texas, biscuits are kind of like scones, but lighter and fluffier. The gravy for "biscuits and gravy" is a white gravy, starting by browning some good breakfast sausage, adding flour, then adding milk until you get a creamy consistency.

To make proper Southern biscuits and gravy, the gravy needs to have a good sausage flavor to it, which means a good sausage to gravy ratio. It is different from the white gravy used on something like chicken-fried steak. That is a simple white (milk) gravy made from a blonde roux and milk, seasoned with salt and black pepper.

Eric Cartman of the cartoon show South Park goes into withdrawls because all the KFC's in his state have suddenly converted to medical marijuana stores. He manages to go to some clinic where a nurse behind a glass window dispenses him a tiny cup of KFC gravy to drink down in order to get him thru his KFC withdrawls.
