You work with some strange folks if they don't know what biscuits and gray is.
Heck even yankees know what biscuits and gray is they just can't cook it. ;D
Maybe it was the cathead part that had them confused.  ;D

Yea, I like those big biscuits.  My grandma used a cutter made from a tin can to cut out her biscuits.  After the lasdt one was cut she would take the rest of the left over dough and just hand form it into a big buiscuit, and place it in the end of the pan.  I ended up with that one, loaded up with gravey.  My mother could not make big biscuits, she turned to oven up too high and the smaller one would get done and the big one would not.  So she refused to make them.  When I make scratch biscuits I always hand form them into big biscuits, and bake them slower than normal.

As for Gravey, I learned while in the AF to add precooked ground beef or sausage to the gravey as it cooked.  They made it that way in the dinning hall, and man did I like it that way.

Every Friday here they serve what they call the "Big Breakfast" :o in the morning.
For $2.50 you get two big homemade biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, a hash brown, and a couple sausage patties or pieces of bacon. :P
I've started having it and skipping lunch and most of supper. ::)

That's good eating!  Biscuits from a can are just gross and most folks don't know what a homemade biscuit is like. My wife still makes them from scratch a couple times a week.  I like cracklins in them, but she won't do it because of my health.  I do love them though.

My Sister worked at a restaurant called Wimpies in Durham SC, she's the one who taught me when she came up with her family to visit one time. You guys are makin me hungry. WShen I was a kid we made the cracklins right in our sausage stuffer, it had a tube made up special to go on the spout that extended it over the stove to a pot settin on a  bench next to it, every once and a whilewhen someone would walk past you would give the crank a little turn and the lard would run out of the tubeinto the pot, when the handle wouldnt turn anymore it was done, and it was so darn good. it came out like one big brown wafer, and Mom would break it up  like peanut brittle. The the tube got broken one day when my Grandfather blew up the stove, after a session of "shine",  he made that on the stove with his still, he wasn't making it that day, what he did was put a can of beans in the oven unopened, it blew the door off the oven and took out the lard pot and the tube, I led an interesting life as a kid,  LOL....steg
