I live in Virginia, USA. It's the south. There's only one kind of
biscuit, and it takes an old woman with 63 years of experience to make
it properly.

No one else can do it. The people who license biscuit-making won't even
consider a man for it. And women must be elderly and cranky but with a
secret heart of gold or other precious metal except zirconium. Oh, and
ytturbium.

Those women have a canoe-shaped wooden trough about 18-inches long and
maybe a foot wide. They mix their secret ingredients (which I've
discovered through serious spying but can't divulge) in the trough and
mutter their incantations. Did I say incantations? There are no
incantations. (TANI)

No, seriously...
