Well, his love certainly makes me paranoid.

Jumping back BRIEFLY to the biscuits and gravy deal.

I went to Florida twice and we ate at Bob Evans both times, and I had something called the Sunshine Skillet.

It's a bajillion calories, and I KINDA felt sick after I ate it both times, but it contains said "sausage gravy" amongst every other breakfast item served up in a big bowl. Note that the gravy layer is covered with a cheese layer...

Here's a picture:

Basically this is, I feel, the epitome of American Breakfast junk food. So good, but HORRID for your health.

Idon't see any black pudding or mushrooms, doesn't count as breakfast.

What did I miss with sausage gravy? Is this another americanism for something that is neither sausage nor gravy?

You can't have mushrooms and food in the same sentence dude. The world just don't work that way.

It made you kind of sick, so you decided to get it on your next visit as well?

1. Just an FYI for all the non-USA-ers - chain restaurants are notorious for the over-the-top heart-attack-inducing breakfast abominations. See absolutely any Denny's or IHOP commercial for numerous examples. This is not representative of what Americans make for breakfast in their homes, which would be more along the lines of egg beaters and wheat toast...

2. Cheese and gravy do not go together, except in the aforementioned weird chain restaurant conconctions.

3. White gravy is made from milk, flour, and vegetable oil, and is commonly used in breakfast dishes, or with chipped beef or chicken fried steak, etc. Is this not a thing in other parts of the world?

4. Regarding the confusion everyone seems to be having about British vs. American pastry items... An American biscuit is not a near equivalent to a scone. To me, a scone tastes like a fat sugar cookie. (Admittedly, scones obtainable here in the US may have little resemblance to the real thing.) Anyway, biscuits are lighter and fluffier and not sweet at all. Unless you put jelly on them, which is perfectly acceptable, but in which case you should skip the gravy.

Gravy with milk? What is wrong with you people?
That's a white sauce you're describing there.

Next you'll be telling me you put beef stock in your milkshakes.
