No, biscuits aren't something else in the US. They are what they're supposed to be. They're different in the UK and Aussie. lol
I think you call them scones. (Are scones dry, flaky and with no sweetness added? That's what we call biscuits.)
Of course, we actually attribute a scone to a UK thing, but ours are sweetened and super-sized. Closer to the British version of a Italian biscotti, minus anise, and, again, bigger.

I figured there was no hard work required back then. When they got hungry, they'd just grab fruit from the nearest tree or vine.
And, if I'm wrong, then of course Adam did the cooking. Hubby makes a nice veggie broth that can be turned into a rue, and he's great with breads.
My hubby cooks the meals. (I make dessert.) Dad went back to school after he retired to become a chef. My younger brother is a chef. Two of my other brothers are single, so do their own cooking. The one who is married has to fight over who gets the kitchen that night, since he married an Italian woman, who makes everything from scratch. And my sister uses her Bullet to make her meals, so I like to believe men belong in the kitchen, (because I certainly don't want to be there. lol)

Looks like beef and one scrawny looking snail in a shell. Did that escargot die of starvation? Or is that what Yorkshire pudding looks like? Not much pudding, and the pudding looks gravyish.They look like cheesy scones with mushroom soup.
Yorkshire puddings with gravy and roast beef - now we're talking yum.

So, back at you. Exactly what is Yorkshire pudding? (And, if you tell me it's a pudding from Yorkshire, I'm going to give you a Bronx cheer.

Yorkshire pudding is made with the same mix as pancake mix but with SR flour. baked in the oven it rises - nothing to do with snails and if you've never had it you don't know what you're missing, my american friend loved it when she sampled it over here and yeah I agree that "meal" looks somewhat lacking lol.Looks like beef and one scrawny looking snail in a shell.

Your "gravy" looks more like a sauce to me, our gravy is different.

These are muffins (also called buns)
These are also called muffins (a type of bread cake/roll)
This is muffin the mule, a 1950s children's programme.

I like biscuits and gravy, but I can't really eat it anymore. On the other hand I love strawberries, but I am willing to share

Yes! What you call a scone, is what we call a biscuit. So add some gravy.... errr "sauce" on it and try it. You'll like it. Just don't add sauce onto your cookies... err biscuits, unless it's cranberry sauce.
And then what are potato chips? (Pringles. Lays. Wise -- besides greasy chips) What are extremely thinly sliced, salted, and deep-fried potatoes to you?

Sounds like Bisquick -- which is pancake mix. So, why pudding? Pudding is something like mousse over here. Matter of fact, I don't really know the difference between mousse and pudding. (I don't like chocolate pudding or mousse because I don't like my chocolate creamy. I think it's lactose intolerant related, because I love any other kind of chocolate.
As for gravy, we live in an Italian American neighborhood. The Italians think gravy is any liquidy substance poured on a meal that has meat in it. Sauce is meatless. Marinara sauce is called "red gravy." We just call it gravy sauce or spaghetti sauce, (but not in front of the neighbors. lol)

Scones and gravy? Haha! That's so weird! But thanks for the explanation, my sister.
Potato chips are crisps - thin, salted, fried and bought in packets. They're eaten cold.
Extremely thinly sliced, salted and deep-fried potatoes are called fries. They're served hot.
Chips are like fries but wider and with a greater ratio of potato. They're also served hot.

I'll never understand biscuits and gravy....It's more the gravy I don't understand the gravy part....
Us Aussie's think that is so weird but then again we have weird food too that Americans don't understand.
I guess it's just what you are brought up with!

I went to London a while back and went into an old fashioned cafe.
I got a steak pie and mash, at the till the woman asked me if a wanted liquor on the mash potato.
I was a bit surprised and said I didn't drink!
She gave me a funny look and said no hon its parsley sauce!
Apparently many moons ago along time before I was born (pre ark), parsley sauce was
called liquor in that part of the world! Asking for a pint has a whole new meaning!

Please, Miri. Since you say you were there, what were the names of Noah's, Shem's, Ham's and Japheth's wives?
