Bisquits and Gravy

[Foul Mike]

Last night, between the hours of 00:00 and 03:00, there came/was an accident in my Hood.
My neighbor, 4 miles away, was brought out of bed by his dogs at 02:45 this AM, enough so that he went out to see what was up. Dogs stayed after him.
He went out and lit his truck up and drove south 3 miles, with his 2 mongrels directing, and as directed, by the dogs, to go E about 1.6 miles where a person that does not speak English, only Spanish, had gone through the fence on the side of the road. We have cattle out there. The filthy cocksucker didn't just go between 2 posts, he took out 7.
My neighbor called me after doing the 911 thing so I was up and off to do fencing in 10 minutes. 8.4 miles away, and I had the landmarks from my neighbor.
The Sheriff's Deputy came and checked it out. The driver had not moved at all as my neighbors Curs had held him in check until the Meatwagon got there. Poncho was Fucked up as Hogan's Goat and not going anyplace soon but was doing his best to trying to run away. The Curs did their job, held him on the ground, then went to their truck and got in when told to do so. We fenced away until all was over.

Fast Forward about 45 minutes and we are back at my neighbors place.
Breakfast of Bisquits and Gravy.
His Squaw used German sausage for the gravy but was short a bit and used Chorizo to fill in and give us enough meat.

Damn, that was some of the best Shit on a Shingle I have ever eaten. Maybe I was just tired , or , maybe it was something good.
Have any of you tried a bit of Chorizo in yours? FM
Please note that driving direction are in Miles not Minutes. This minutes shit does not work for us but mile directions do.

I've used chorizo before on bisquits and gravy. I've had mixed results, but then again, not all chorizo is created equally. A good green chili can be awesome over bisquits too.

 

[lash]

That sounds good. I'll have to have my wife try that in her next biscuits and gravy. As it is, she makes a fine B&G with plenty of sausage.

 

[Basher]

I've never tried it with chorizo, but I have done chopped up bacon. Wayback in my "younger days," if you left the bacon grease in when making the gravy, it tasted even better! But that's a heart attack waiting to happen...

 

[308Gunner]

Had some this morning with deer sausage spicy of course. Damn good breakfast

 

[Snipe260]

Glad u got re done foul one and you deserved a damn good breakfast after that! Oh yea, the curs deserved a t bone steak!

 

[Jefe's Dope]

I was hoping to come in here and find the secret recipe to Zado's biscuits and gravy. The best biscuits and gravy there ever was. We believe that chorizo is the secret ingredient. So, your friend's wife might be on to something. Did it have just a tinge of red?

On a side note. One of the reasons I like to go to the local gun show is they have a pretty good biscuits and gravy using a brown gravy. I like it very much.

Second side note. I also had biscuits and gravy today. Sadly it was only mediocre. It's a tough gig to pull off. You have to get both the biscuits AND the gravy right or it's just sucks. My wife is an excellent cook and many people like her biscuits and gravy. Sadly, I could go without.

B&G definitely an American thing. we had friends from Finland visit and my wife thought she would treat them to some traditional cuisine. The looks on their faces were priceless. After the horror on their faces subsided to their credit they politely tried it. Or I should say picked at it. The concept of Waffle House also confused them.

 

[lash]

^^^ That is funny! ^^^

We Americans are SO uncouth with weird eating habits in their eyes.

The concept of Awful House confuses me.

 

[Maggot]

Mike, the only thing you didnt mention was a pot of good strong black coffee.

 

[Foul Mike]

The neighbor and his wife both had coffee. An evil smelling brew, but they like it.

When I was young, many many years ago, my Mother used to tell my brothers and me that Coffee was for "Grown ups, not kids. You have to be grown upor adult before you get coffee."
One brother is gone and he liked it a lot but the one alive drinks it all of the time.

Back to me, I never grew up. Kind of like Pan Peter, I never grew up and to this day I hate the smell of it and have only partaken of it 4 times in my life.
Once I swallowed it, the other 3 times I spewed it. I can't understand the taste for it. Give me a beer and Post Toasties any day and I will be happy.
My Squaw ain't worth a Quarter in Mexican money every morning until she drinks some of that vile smelling shit and rolls her eyes in true bliss, then her day starts.
In the mean time, I am cranked up and gone on to the day's tasks while others are sucking down their coffee.
I saw it in the Army and at work and everyplace else I have been and think it is an addiction I can do without, but know I am the exception to the rule.
Post Toasties and beer, Pepsi or Cocola or water and I am good to go.
I am glad I never picked up a taste for it as I think it makes you have to shit.

If you live in an area with a large Mexican population, usually you can find a Mexican market that will have fresh made chorizo sausage. That is usually a lot better than frozen.

I prefer mine fryed up and then the grease drained, and cooked in with scrambled eggs and with tortillas rather than biscuits and maybe some diced potatoes cooked up with chili.

It's too bad about your fence and that you have DUI Mexicans driving around but I hope you can enjoy the food.

Also, Pro Tip: the best Mexican food comes from New Mexico.

 

[Alphatreedog]

I friggin hate you .? Now i got biscuits and gravy on the brain and I'm gonna be all O friggin CD until the mother in law makes a batch . She was raised in Alberta on a family farm . Several uncles . mom . grandmom and grandpop . Never unlearned how to cook for an army . Left overs are awesome .

 

[Foul Mike]

No, the best Mexican food is in eastern Colorado at Jose Cabrera's Casa, the next best place is at my house. FM

 

[flyer]

Nope, Mexican food was perfected up in the high elevation parts of New Mexico with the Hatch chilis, near Albuquerque.

It sounds like a road trip food fight match is about to be announced. Each contestant must travel to the home field of the competitor in question and sample their food on their turf. The opponent must visit the competitor's turf within 7 days and equally partake of their food on their turf. Winner is determined by involved parties agreement alone and if no decision can be made, the match extends to the following year, allowing each competitor to up his local turf's game for the next round.

Competitors! Please take your corners!

 

[Foul Mike]

Sounds good to me as long as I have Jose C. in my corner.
We grow our own chilis but do use a lot of Hatch seeds.
Who knows? this might be bigger than Tucker's Party.

 

[ArmyJerry]

you spelled biskitts wrong.

 

[flyer]

Unfortunately I don't live around there but I know from several years living in LA where Mexican food is common and pretty damn good, trying the celebrated but not so great Mexican restaurants in the SF Mission district and some other highly rated Mexican Restaurants in Silicon valley, nothing holds a candle to my Grandmother's cooking and she was from Mountainaire NM.

I've been chasing that flavor ever since and it's rare that anything comes close.

 

[lash]

Yeah, it's "biscubits".

If it were to happen I would have to go to NM and look for the source.

I was thinking as I read this thread that FM had a spelling issue as I have eaten "biskit" my entire life. I sure hope that nice lady fed him the real deal and not "whampums". My Mother could have been famous nation wide for her "biskit" My bride is no slouch at making them either. SOS with a couple of over easy cackleberrys slung on top are good fixins for sure.

 

[bigdaddydmd]

Biscuits and Gravy is the breakfast food of the Gods. By far my favorite food. Hell, I'll eat it any time of day. It isn't just for early mornings.

 

[12Bravo]

This thread has got me thinking About making a batch of SOS this weekend using a mix of ground beef and chorizo. Of course, this will get washed down with a cop of strong black coffee made in a French press.

 

[Alphatreedog]

Biskts n gravy . SOS . How bout some chicken fried steak with sausage gravy ?

 

[Switchblade]

Biscuits and gravy IS a meal(with other stuff of course). Anyone says different, hit them! Negativity in life is a no-go

Can I enter my Kangaroo Kurry in this komp???

 

[lightman]

Biscuits and gravy is my go to for breakfast. Along with a few pieces of bacon. But I have not tried using any Chorizo. My wife is a great cook and I will have to suggest trying this.

Oh yeah, good on you for helping your neighbor.

 

[lash]

Can I enter my Kangaroo Kurry in this komp???

Does it go over biscuits? I'm game for some Kangaroo Kurry.

 

[Snuby642]

Biscuits and sausage gravey is breakfast.
Sos is toast with beef onions and garlic for supper.
Chorizo is good in scambled eggs.
Roo meat is for people with deep pockets around here, very good
Like between beef and venison.

Would definitely try your roo curry.

Best burritos are found wrapped in foil in a cooler being pulled in a wagon by on old Mexican lady.

I won't disagree with that. The best tamales also, but this thread is about biscuits and gravy. Even when they suck they are pretty damn good, and great biscuits and gravy are will blow your top off. I am shocked they aren't a more requested last meal for death row inmates.

 

[Dewey7271]

Couple or three buttermilk biscuits, couple or three slices of country ham, couple or three eggs over easy, cover with sausage gravy. That's the ticket right there.

I have not heard how Poncho is doing after his mishap with the fence but do know he was fucked up bad. Pickup rolled 3 times but he was out in 1.
Quite frankly I really don't care too much but did admire how he was trying to get away as buggered up as he was until we put the dogs on him to hold him down while we fenced and waited for the Meatwagon. He was going to low crawl the 40 or whatever it took to get away. Bless his heart.
We did what we could for him as far as First Aid, but it was beyond what we could do other than make him lie still until help arrived and out here that is a while. The dogs took care of this "Don't move Asshole" and I was proud of them as he was trying his best to get away and had he done so he probably would have died out in the corn field. What does Paris no or Paroos no mean? It was hard to understand what he was saying as he was so fucked up. I will bet he fastens his seat belt from now on. I hope he doesn't cost we taxpayers a lot but think he will.

The chorizo in the gravy was just a little reward for us and only done by my neighbor's wife as a fill in for being short on German sausage but by God we learned something. Both of us have made new batches and you can overdo the chorizo but damn it is good with some in it.
My neighbor's wife and My Squaw both make super good bisquits/biskits whatever the fuck you want to call them. Light and fluffy to a point but both she and My Squaw have mills that we can grind our own wheat we grow and add a bit of that in with store bought flour.
That puts a little substance to them and they are great. FM

 

[cav has been]

Sounds good FM, matter of fact sounds really good. It really don't matter how ya spell 'em.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Bisquits: those are the ones that quit rising and come up kinda flat.

Biskits: Limp Biskit. A musical act.

Biscuits: What we eat for breakfast with gravy, sausage, bacon and over medium eggs (Sorry Dewey) and a big slice of ripe red tomato.
Slide up a big strong black coffee and whoa Nelly!!

Biscuits are also made for a slab of chicken breast, pb&j, jam or preserves (No fuckin jelly) and my dad's favorite, butter mixed together with raw honey and slathered all over the open biscuit.

Fuck! Now I'm hungry as hell.

 

[Snuby642]

Fm, no parros , no dogs. Lol

 

[Foul Mike]

Mike C, Slip in a little cinnamon in the Dad's honey butter. He will put you back in the will.
I learned that in a little backwoods cafe in Wyo. years ago and never looked back.

FM,
I think dad would have agreed with you on the cinnamon. Not sure he ever tried it that way, but he was kinda partial to a big fat cinnamon roll.
We lost him back in 2014, so I won't get a chance to ask him.
I had planned on making some big, eggy Belgian waffles for breakfast tomorrow, but these biscuits are calling me now.

Decisions, decisions.

 

[Foul Mike]

Mike C, Sorry about your Dad, RIP. I didn't mean to open a healing wound and should have replied earlier but the farm is busy as all Hell now. The fencing is done however.
My point is; Honey Butter with cinnamon and a little clove. Good stuff.
I came across it years ago in Wyo. at a tiny cafe an old woman ran in a tiny boom town that I don't think even exists any more, and I am sure she is long gone too.
She would just make Honey butter and then mix in enough cinnamon and a taste of clove enough to change the color a bit.
Damn it was good and I wondered at the time why I hadn't thought of it, maybe it is common in other areas of the country, but it was new out here then.
This was 50 years ago and at that time it seems to me that the women that were cooking were scared to death of using spices in quantity for some reason or another and wondered why we were using so much salt and pepper and hot sauce rather than them cooking it in.
I know my Mother was that way and so is my Squaw, but getting better.
Meat and taters you assholes and if you don't like it, go hungry. FM
I think cooking shows on TV helped that situation out a lot.

Jeffrey City, Wyo. 82310 Pop. 60+-. May still be a Post Office. I did a Google on it.

 

[Mike Casselton]

FM,
It's alright talking about him. No worries.
I lived in SD for 12 years and Idaho for 5.5. Many times while out wandering around or fishing or shooting critters we would stop at the little cafes in small towns. Sometimes the food wasn't the best but the atmosphere and people surely made up for it.
Other times we'd find a gold mine of food or some outstanding pies.
We learned there was always time for pie and coffee.
Here's a pic of the old cuss in the summer of '95.
Holding my first daughter with the Trinity mountains in Idaho in the back ground.

 

[Foul Mike]

I sure like his hat. Something he believed in I am sure.
I still have mine just like it. FM

 

[Mike Casselton]

My older sister and brother and myself were cleaning up dad's apartment after he passed away. The hat was on his couch.
Somehow, without me noticing it, my sister tossed it in the trash. Probably because it was dirty or something. I didn't notice it was missing until we had driven about 400 miles towards Florida. Way too late to go back for it. I never said anything to her. She wouldn't have understood anyway.

 

[Mike Casselton]

My wife has the Raybans now. My youngest daughter has his spare pair.

Both daughters got one of his knives and Rebecca has another one. The rest of the good ones are in my safe.

My brother asked for dad's S&W 3" 41 mag built by John Jovino. I grudgingly gave it to him and I don't think it's seen daylight since then. (Sad face)

 

[Foul Mike]

PM me your Addy. and I will send your Dad a gift,minus pins, that is too small for my jug head. FM

 

[WeiserBucks]

My squaw makes our biscuits and gravy with bear sausage. It's amazing and simple, kill bear , grind sausage with bacon ends , make gravy .

 

[TripleBull]

I'm still trying to find the world's best Mexican food. I like El Burrito in Ft Collins. It's a life-long quest.
