Um... literally every time I've had biscuits and gravy, it's literally gravy poured over biscuits. Every time. Without fail. It's kind of in the name.

the cultural difference is that the US is the only place in the world that calls “flaky scone-like buttery thing” biscuits

everywhere else in the world, biscuit means cookie or cracker

Instead of flaky biscuits, imagine cookies

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
