Brits who complain about (American) biscuits and gravy have clearly never had (American) biscuits and gravy
Usually, you'll find they'll start making fun of you before you can even explain what it is
I love watching videos online of Brits trying food from the southern US because they always recoil at the sight of it before saying it's one of the best things they've ever tasted.
Those guys are notorious for pandering to their American audience to be fair.
I think I saw the exact video you're referencing here 😂

This should be a 3-way with Canadians putting gravy on fries.
Haven't tried gravy on pudding but I'm sure it's as great as the other two.
This should be a 3-way with Canadians
I strongly agree
Tell me you’re a poutine virgin w/o saying it…
I wasn't being sarcastic. I like both poutine and biscuits and gravy, and I'm pretty sure gravy on pudding is good too. They all sound off-putting if you don't know what they are, though.

You know the Brits do that too.
And if you fancy a moment of horror,look up what a Wigan Kebab is.
It doesn't work with the joke though: Americans use the word "pudding" to refer to something sweet while Brits use the word "biscuit" to refer to something sweet. Fries aren't sweet in either of the two opposing dialects. So both should be able to see the appeal
While most of our biscuits are sweet nowadays, they’re not exclusively so and plenty of savoury examples exist.
The word came from the old French “bescuit” which was about the process of drying things out so they would keep longer, like on ships for example.
Chips and gravy is amazing. So are chips and curry sauce.
Yorkshire pudding is not pudding, it’s crockery.
It’s hard to go wrong with gravy. But I’m Canadian, we don’t use whatever you guys call biscuits. We use French fries and cheese.
Cheese curds make my teeth feel funny. But in a good way.
Yes and we Canadians like browned gravy from roasts. White sausage gravy isn’t really a thing here.

Add some Mexican pork sausage to that poutine and I'm in.
I think I've seen chorizo poutine as an option the one time I visited Canada, in Niagara falls I believe it was. But I only had time to try the classic, and also I can't remember if it was Mexican style chorizo or Spanish style chorizo or something else
Bro you can add whatever you want to poutine and it will be good. It’s damn near impossible to ruin that dish.
I got hooked on poutine after my first visit to Canada, made my own for weeks afterwards. 10/10 no notes

What could possibly be offensive about putting gravy on a fairly dry bread product? Wtf?
The only Brits that would whine about that are softy southerners.
Come up North if you like your gravy. Up here it's strong and thick enough that the spoon stands straight up!
Mmm, that's how I make my sausage gravy. Got made fun of by an Appalachian guy for it being like concrete but hey, why not if you've got the meat, right?
Oh lad, if you like your meats and gravy, you should come to the UK and visit Manchester, Liverpool, or York.
Also everyone in the UK over hypes Greggs just because it's such a national institution now but never mention the more tasty Pieminister because it's not as widespread.
Let me know if you're ever around the Peak District and you're more than welcome to join our family for a proper Sunday Roast Dinner with THICC gravy.
Now make one with Canadians putting gravy on fries and Danes putting gravy on burgers.
Hawaiian also put gravy on burgers over rice and it's a treasure
Is there a bun on that? If not it's just a Salisbury steak which I assume is the Japanese influence creeping in. Never quite understood why they like hamburger steak so much. I always associate it with frozen dinners.

I absolutely will not tolerate gravy fry hate and I'm not even Canadian.
Ketchup is just tomato gravy anyway. A sauce made by thickening a reduction of something high in glutamate with cornstarch. It's more of a gravy than chip beef gravy, which is a more basic roux. Only difference is fat content, but that's why it's paired with mayo.

So when you say "pudding", you mean white pudding or black pudding?
The core joke here is that Yorkshire pudding is unsweetened, just as American biscuits are unsweetened
Tapioca pudding.
Yorkshire
