Biscuits and gravy? Australians could be forgiven for being very confused when they hear about this dish. But biscuits ain’t biscuits in the US.
Australians could be forgiven for being very confused when they first hear about this classic dish. Biscuits and gravy? So you’re tipping meaty sauce all over your Iced VoVos? What is going on in the US? The thing you eventually realise, of course, is that biscuits ain’t biscuits in the United States.
What’s more likely, however, is that biscuits and gravy emerged much later, in the mid-1800s, in the lumber yards of southern Appalachia to feed hungry lumberjacks. That would help explain the name “sawmill gravy”. Then, as baking soda and powder became more readily available and the process to make the biscuits became easier, the dish’s popularity spread throughout the south, and eventually to the whole country.
