I frequently watch videos of people from outside the US trying biscuits and gravy for the first time. Every one starts with “I’m not trying that disgusting slop” and ends with “I want to eat this every day for the rest of my life”

Random pic from the Internet for reference.

This was my experience with poutine before and after visiting Canada. No one truly gets it until they've had it. The real stuff. Not shredded mozzarella over fries.

White cheddar cheese curds/squeakers over fries with piping hot brown gravy poured directly over.

Now I live in Canada and eat it all the time.

I have not found a better hangover cure than biscuits and gravy.

Well, except moderation of course, but you know... the everything.

Hashbrowns covered in chili, cheese, and sausage gravy. Aka the waffle House smothered hashbrowns

Waho is almost cheating, everything there is great hangover and drunk food
