If you’re ever entered into a contest to see who can eat the most calories in a 24 hour period, at least now you have a plan for breakfast. Of course, if you aren’t entered in said contest, you might want to stay away from the dish, which might be tasty, but also could be considered suicide on a plate.

What on earth is in that gravy? I’ve only ever seen brown gravy – that looks more like mayonnaise to me. Or is it one of those things where it’s called different things in different places?

Sounds a bit like what I’d call white sauce. I’m fairly sure my mum used to make it using pretty much just flour & milk. I just open the White Sauce packet & add boiling water, so I’m not sure what the original ingredients are.

Let’s take this a bit further. Deep fried bacon in a chocolate crust, served with maple syrup for dipping.

Good country gravy also has ground up pork sausage. It’s excellent on biscuits.

Big deal. People have eaten bacon and gravy for generations and they lived. It’s called moderation.

Now I’m confused. Milk and flour amounts to white sauce not gravy, gravy is essentially the juices taken from cooked meat thickened and seasoned. But what really has me confused is the idea of gravy (or rather white sauce) on biscuits.
I take it you also mean something different from me when you say biscuits?

It’s also got pork drippings from cooking sausage and as John said, the sausage is often mixed into the gravy.
In America, biscuits doesn’t mean cookies like it does in so many other places. They’re kind of like fluffy, non-sweet scones.

Jolly,
To make this kind of gravy, you use the drippings from sausage or bacon and add flour to make a roux. Then you add milk, and gently bring to a boil, stirring constantly. The mixture is seasoned with salt and pepper. This makes white or “country” gravy. Americans (particularly in the southern portion of the country) ladle this gravy over biscuits as part of a traditional breakfast.
