I looked at the link and narrowed it a picture. http://fisherscones.com/product/All_...e_Mix/13070.as px I had a roomate who made something that looked really close but she used ricotta cheese and if we had any, crumbled up cooked an drained sausage or bacon. I'm sure there is a name for such and 'scone' probably isnt it but it was good stuff! Carol -- |

But biscuit and sausage without egg or biscuit and gravy is very common. |

Biscuits with bacon doesn't mean bacon ON a biscuit, although it's been known to happen. Jill |

But sausage and biscuits? Countless times. And don't you dare mention *my* reading comprehension when you thought Feb. 29th meant green. |

Not here, it's not. Bacon and eggs served with toast, English muffin or muffin is common though. You can get biscuits but that's not what most people eat. |

I only know that Coscto sells chili because I saw the sign at the snack bar. I don't know people who work or eat at McDonalds so how in the world would I know what they sell? I don't go there and I don't see it much discussed here either. I suspect most people here don't eat there either. |

I can see what you wrote. I have heard people say something like... I am going to make some biscuits to go with this sausage. I have never heard the same for bacon. In fact when we ate them when I was growing up, I don't think we ever had them for breakfast. They were always served with dinner when we did have them. I didn't even know that biscuits and gravy existed until I worked at K Mart. They served them in the cafeteria but at that point in time, they were not available at any restaurants in this area. You can get them now though. I never had creamed anything served over biscuits. My mom did occasionally make creamed chipped beef. It was always served on toast. Biscuits were served with butter and honey until my dad discovered diet jelly and he had that with his. And we never had them with chicken. Rice was usually served with chicken. Biscuits were only served when the meal was light. Like salad, cottage cheese, raw veggies or a broth based soup. And they were about as unknown in this area as hominy and black eyed peas were back them. Also when I was a kid, the only restaurant around here that I know of that even served biscuits was KFC. I'm not saying that they weren't available elsewhere. They are not something I would ever seek out at a restaurant. Too many places just don't do them well. One place that my mom likes makes jumbo ones and then slices them in half and grills them. Totally dehydrates them IMO. Yuck. I also gave up on getting biscuits and gravy in a restaurant. Not that I could eat it now. My parents warned me that I wouldn't find any that was good. They were right. |

I have only one word that bugs me, that's when most people (including newsreaders) say 'Calvary when they mean 'cavalry'.
