american biscuits and they don't translate to any other country at all!!! They really aren't quite like anything else. And the fact that americans have used the word biscuit to describe them, just adds to the confusion.... Just leave it as "you eat them with gravy" and leave their poor boggling imaginations to the rest of it!

No way! Not all Americans pollute their baking powder biscuits with gravy! That's a southern habit, primarily. I live in Texas now and fight off the gravy habit at restaurants regularly, but I grew up in the civilized Pacific Northwest where we don't eat nearly so much gravy and heavy cream and such.

I make my biscuits with water, not milk. And we usually eat our biscuits with jam or butter.

Squid, I have no intention of sitting on you. This dress smells bad enough from so much time on a horse. I was shanghaied by our Aussie friend here, along with Mom--she meant well, but neither of us is used to horses, so we're a little tuckered out. I think she forgot MOM and has gone to retreive her after a long nap.
