Back in the '80s, there was a school lunch item we ate about once a week called "SOS" on the menu.
It was a scoop of mashed potatoes on top of a slice of fried bologna covered in brown gravy.
Biscuits and gravy, if not a southern delicacy is a staple. Spam, steakums, bologna , dog food, vegan substitutes, etc = own thread.
I was just responding in kind, bless your heart....Trying to make a weak point are ya?
Took my family to Becky's Kitchen this morning. They make their own sausage, and it's great. And their sausage gravy is out of this world. I'll have to try their creamed chipped beef sometime. Also, farm fresh eggs, and local, bakery made bread. Hash browns are all real and made fresh. They have an awesome collection of vintage stuff. And, the people are all really nice. Time for that 5 mile hike with the dogs a little later today...I also love chipped beef and gravy, but I'd normally choose the sausage. There's an awesome little restaurant not too far from us (near York, PA) called Becky's Kitchen. A couple years ago, I met up with a buddy from grad school (he's also a classical guitarist, and we hadn't seen each other in over 20 years), and we decided to go there because it was reasonably close to him as well. One of the best places I've ever been to. Everything is scratch. They even make their own sausage. And, their prices are still reasonable. Oh man, and the day we met up there was hogmaw day (think haggis). Grandma came late morning to help cook it. Now, I've still never had that...
My wife is awesome with either chipped beef or sausage gravy (her parents are from Arkansas). Chipped beef is kind of a thing out here in PA though.
Let’s see, I’m from York, PA. Just looked where it was. Had no idea it existed and I’m not far from it. Gonna have to give it a try.Took my family to Becky's Kitchen this morning.

My family and I live in Holtwood, but I help out as A/V Director at the church where we attend near Brogue (south of Red Lion on 74). I had to go over today to install a new lamp in one of the projectors. And, we homeschool, so taking the kids was no big deal.Let’s see, I’m from York, PA. Just looked where it was.

Also, had no idea there was a fellow York person here. Howdy!
Now those look like proper biscuits!!! I can almost smell the goodness.
My Dad grew up in college, being part of the ROTC program in the mid-50s. Although I don't know if Dad preferred biscuits and gravy or the traditional SOS, I do know Dad enjoyed a close comparison to chipped beef...they were called Steak'Ums, slices of paper-thin shaved steak you could fry up in less than a minute, salt and peppered, and pop onto buttered toast. Steak'Ums were available until about 1990, after which they faded from grocery shelves. Steak'Ums were a quick home cooked snack or meal for a guy with a busy schedule. Dad was that kind of guy.
For sausage gravy and biscuits, it’s The Silver Skillet in Atlanta for me. Been around a LONG time and has been filmed in a lotta movies as well as the early beginnings of Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-ins & Dives.
