If you explained Redeye Gravy to them, you would literally smell the copper wiring burning as their mind unraveled.

No kidding LOL

Telling the police officer to kiss your ass, while you have a lit cigarette dangling from your lips

Only when sitting in your own vehicle , when pulled over.
Worse when the officer states put it out .
Don't ask me what I did , as that was in my younger , liberal days .

Hell, now I got to know, not just what you said the details, everything LOL. After all, In Georgia, it depends on whose jurisdiction this occurs in as well.

GHP is likely gonna respond differently than Atlanta PD...

DO NOT TRY THIS.
"I did not have an ashtray in there at that moment ."

Sure.
I did , right on his boot .
"OOPS"

Police officers were familiar with rights and the Constitution back then.
Knew he couldn't say one danged thing .

There us a time and a place for screaming and violence to get your point across. This right here would have sent me into a rage beyond comprehension.

My mom was the first person to ever make biscuits and gravy, and anything that is not up to that standard, cannot call itself biscuits and gravy.

I too have a cast iron skillet for a reason. a reply to: JAGStorm

Transplanted Southern Boy, Born in Southern Va, raised in Richmond. I'm not sure how you managed to remain polite in that situation. I have been known to raise a bit of a fuss if the 'southern' cooking aint. A few of my friends and most of my wife's family have learned what Southern cooking really is. Just recently introduced them and my co-workers to Carolina Smoked Pork BBQ. You'd think they had never considered a vinegar based sauce. Now I have people asking me to make it for their parties. Unfortunately starting a business in Illinois is an exercise in futility.


ETA: When we first got together my wife made sausage gravy, she used corn starch to thicken the gravy. One bite, got up and threw the entire batch in the trash. Went to the store and got what I needed. That morning I taught her how to make the gravy, after about six times we gave up on her learning biscuits, so either I make them or Pillbury does. lol

Ran across this video today, and thought it had to be in this thread.

British Highschoolers try biscuits and gravy for the first time.

a reply to: CriticalStinker

I love how they ALL changed their tune!

Did you notice how even the ones that were just a touch critical in the beginning ended up digging in for more.


PS. I noticed that gravy in a bit on the runny side. They added too much milk or water, or diluted it down.

Love me some NC BBQ (and Texas). Whole hog... White sauce or vinegar based.

IL tends to favor St. Louis or KC style BBQ smothered in sauce. They also don't find it blasphemous to cook ribs in an oven vs open pit or specialized 55 gallon drum style cookers / smokers.

a reply to: JAGStorm

Lol, it was a joy to see. Maybe the ones who were really critical were more shocked by the contrast of expectations.

My favorite part is when they got to the tea. I was so worried since tea seems so proper there.

I do wish they hooked that fine young man up with some jam, totally a thing in the south to ask for butter and honey or jam at a respectable breakfast establishment.

I’ve been on a hot honey kick recently. I found some really clean but spicy honey that still highlights the honey flavor with some good heat that doesn’t hide the taste. My guilty pleasure late night snack is a fried peanut butter and hot honey sandwich. In a hot pan and butter just like a grilled cheese.

I've had authentic bbq in all of those place and HANDS DOWN, not even a contest I love NC BBQ the best!

There is also a little place in Florida that is a close second, but only because they do it NC style!
I'm not a fan of St. Louis style, and that's unfortunate because I can get it the most often.

Mall of America had a honey store that had honey from all over the world. I taste tested a few and it was amazing the drastic difference. I am a super taster, so some of them were just too much for me, literally tasted like honey and wood!

Try M & M on Charleston and Valley View. It's a Mississippi style place, chicken and waffles and what not. I've never actually been there, even though it's three miles from home, but I've seen it talked about in the print media and it's always gotten rave reviews. It's been there for years so they must be doing something right.

There's also Arizona Charlies. The Decatur casino is only a mile or so from here and the Sourdough Cafe has a great deal. B & G, chicken fried chicken with the gravy, get an egg breakfast and replace the toast with a biscuit w/ gravy. The CFC is a huge meal and well worth it. There gravy also has bacon in it just to kick it up a notch and it's wonderful.
