    It’s scones covered in a white sauce built on sausage meat roux. Nothing wrong with it, but not much right with it either, it’s just calories.

      Not scones, American biscuits. They’re different. Flaky, buttery, not sweet. And if there’s “not much right with it” then you had a crappy gravy without enough grease and pepper.

        Probably! I was drawing a comparison for other readers, they’re closer to a shortcrust pastry in how they’re made. Savoury scones are a thing, by the way - usually made with a bit of cheese.

        Lmao you can tell someone is American when they say “if it didn’t taste good you just need more grease”
