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

What does it look like?

Burger swimming in gravy. The bun is coated making into a diet of gravy dome.

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.

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.

I absolutely will not tolerate gravy fry hate and I'm not even Canadian.

Don't worry it's just scones and Yorkshire pudding. Nobody putting gravy on cookies and mousse.

Italian Americans putting gravy on pasta: 👉🕷️

Isn't gravy that thick brown sauce you eat with turkey? If that's the case both belong in a mental institution.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

That's one kind. The kind Americans put on biscuits is white and very thick. It is a mixture of sausage grease, flour, milk, and shitloads of black pepper.

Texturally, they're a nightmare but the flavor is excellent.

Americans putting it all in jello.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

Yeah if you had a time machine to the 70s maybe.

Yorkshire pudding is not pudding, it’s crockery.

Brits who complain about (American) biscuits and gravy have clearly never had (American) biscuits and gravy

[–] [email protected] -5 points 3 hours ago

I have had them at a pretty famous bbq place in Texas, they are tasteless and dry and the gravy is a sin that even the most watery Bisto outclassed spectacularly.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Chips and gravy is amazing. So are chips and curry sauce.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

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.
