jmooney Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 biscuits n gravy, can you dunk the biscuits in your tea Yes, but it would make a right mess. They're not the dunking kind. Last Sunday the Mrs. and I went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and I had the Farmer's Special: Two Eggs Hash Brown Casserole Southern Fried Steak Biscuits and Gravy Grits I encourage all of you to try biscuits and gravy. You folks seem to use a lot of sausage and the gravy has sausage in it. Follow Lee's advice on a recipe though. Funny, as I type this I'm sipping a can of Strongbow that I found at the local 6 pack store. I bought it based on recommendations made here on PW. I'm halfway through a can and I'm liking it a a lot.

Phew ! :look: Its alright Mrs. Jan.. There was a little battle fought not too far from where Jim lives.. A pretty little place called Gettysburg.. It was there, in Pennsylvania that the Yanks gave us our greatest defeat. I think you should watch the movie by that name.. Stars Tom Barringer, and Jeff daniels, and an English feller Dont recall his name though.. That my dear shall give you a 3.5 hour overview of what it was like..

I agree with Lee, the film is well worth watching. It's about 2-3 hours from me and I've visited a few time. It's truly hallowed ground. 51,000 lay dead after 3 days of fighting. The enormity of what the men on both sides did on those three summer days in July 1863 is unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I came back from florida last night and hand on heart i was blown away by the culture every one was so polite and friendly there was hundreds of powerful bikes and cars yet nobody was messing about, when it rainned hard every one slowed down and drove to the conditions, were as in england give some one a fast car and they feel the need to try and climb a tree in it, even when you go to an amusement park they thank british service men and woman for there efforts before the shows, not to mention the amount of the english flags they had flying all over the place. you can tell who has visited America, and who has not. All this "Americans are ****" attitude is from folk who cant spell passport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 you can tell who has visited America, and who has not. All this "Americans are ****" attitude is from folk who cant spell passport. The only problem is, (not saying I disagree) Is that a large amount of people here are steryotyping americans to the people you find in flordia. I mean, It's the opposite of if you had a Yank visit, Manchester, and then sum up all british people from that. There are some seriously strange (and even dangerous) places in the states, and some right ***** from places such as Jesery, Manhattan, Oakland, LA, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Lee am really wanting to try this buiscuts and gravey thing but am coming to the conclusion that you guys must have some serious gunk in the sausages over there as when i cook a couple of sausages theres not much come out of them at all, normally just the oil iv fryed them in ! Should i be looking for some pork fat / dripping ? Talking of american hats, Since watching Full Metal Jacket (despite it partly being filmed in bristol UK) at the age of 13 I for years desperatley wanted a hat like Gunnery SGT Heartmans !

I think American sausage is flat slabs of sausage meat without skins. I may be wrong, but I think that's what they use, so the fat comes out quite readily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) I agree with Lee, the film is well worth watching. It's about 2-3 hours from me and I've visited a few time. It's truly hallowed ground. 51,000 lay dead after 3 days of fighting. The enormity of what the men on both sides did on those three summer days in July 1863 is unbelievable. I agree, great film. From the book Killer Angels by Michael Shaara Some of the acting is a bit overdone, especially the bloke who plays General Armistead . He gets on my tits. When he gets mortally wounded and he's told that Hancock is also down....."Not Winny....Not both of us....not....all of us" Then there's the bloke who looks like Richard Branson, who plays Pickett. When the battle starts, he gets on his horse and keeps riding round in a circle and stopping. He shouts out "Daaaaam-nation" and rides round in a circle again and repeats the whole process "Daaaaaaam-nation". Then a shell lands nearby and blows him off his horse and he lands on his barnet. "Daaaaaaam-nation" :lol: Bit like modern generals actually Watched it loads of times. Also Gods & Generals - similar thing. I enjoyed Cold Mountain too, but that might have more to do with the fact that I have a thing about Nicole Kidman And the movie Glory as well, about the black Massachsetts regiment storming Battery Wagner in Carolina Edited June 4, 2009 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you need to do is buy a pound or two of fresh ground Pork. Season to taste, of course.. You wont get much from a sausage. And we call those campaign hats and were worn by the US dough boys. I call them 'round browns, as they are worm by our Drill sergeants and drill instructors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
