Well, there is another Southern tradition, perhaps older than the gravy desecration. Reportedly passed on from my dad's West by Gawd Virginia grandfather....yummy, excellent biscuit recipe with butter and sugar put on them, after splitting them in two. They melt in your mouth and go great with scrambled eggs and, if you have to have meat, some crisp bacon strips!
I am glad you explained the WHOMP, Spaw. That was my kids' favourite thing about quick and easy...we used to get the triangle-shaped ones, crescent rolls(?). I'd wrap a hot dog in each, cook them and the kids loved them. Now I'd never dream of feeding a kid such crap.:-)
