Really??? What's not 'nice' about it? A biscuit can be eaten like a sandwich
made out of white, sourdough, whole wheat, rye bread, etc. Biscuit split
open and a pork sausage patty slipped between the two halves is heavenly. As
well as a slice of country or city ham and lets not forget about pork tender-
loin nestled in a biscuit.

Absolute fiction. The American biscuit was being enjoyed in the North long before Harlan Sanders ever put on an apron.
