Biscuitville deserves its own thread.

[danny la rouge]

Danny needs to tweet their PR lot showing all the missionary work he's doing on their behalf this side of the pond, they're bound to send him a care package of their stodge.

Yes!

If I said it in Brighton I may cause offence.

They don't have biscuits in Brighton. Gluten, you see.

People make fun of the place, but if you were ravenously hungry in North Carolina at a strip mall or somewhere like this, and your choice was Biscuitville or some other fast food place, who here wouldn't try out Biscuitville?

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Are we to assume that any Urb who ventures to the USA in the near(ish) future will be checking out Biscuitville and reporting back?
I know I will be.

Sausage biscuits.

Which go remarkably well with both sausages and bourbon.

I wouldn't. I suspect their vegetarian option is deep fried bits of a vegetarian pig.

Hasn't petee given us the low-down? I know he's in NY so also a bit far from Biscuitville country but they may have a branch there for homesick southerners.or just New Yorkers who fancy feeling sick.

Grits or grits with cheese.

 

[JimW]

You could do a mobile Biscuitville snack truck and call it the Gritting Lorry.

 

[nogojones]

Glad to hear you are still planning on visiting.

Now they're coming to Port Talbot, how could I not?

 

[nogojones]

Obscure North American chains always open their first branch in the Uk in South Wales. There's a Denny's in Swansea and Cardiff got the first Tim Horton's. By this metric I think Biscuitville should open up in Port Talbot. Suitably scenic setting for that gravy.

They may have to tweek the gravy to make it grey

 

[platinumsage]

I am tempted to add scones, sausage meat and cheese slices to my Ocado order.

 

[pogofish]

I see no biscuits on that menu, only muffins...?

or is this “biscuit” in the same sense as those Peterheiders who call rowies “cookies”?

 

[Plumdaff]

I don't think it'll require much tweaking tbh

Like a ship's biscuit but land based and weevils are a seperate order.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

"land based"

 

[8ball]

I have concerns that Biscuitville may turn out to be like Swiss Tony, or Pinky And Brain.

Fine in its proper place, but unable to sustain a whole series by itself in the longer term.

They had never heard of it in New York, Delaware or Pennsylvania when I was out there.

Turns out it’s limited to a very localised area (barely two or three times that of the UK).

Hm.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Seems like a good enough reason to me to head somewhere specific.

The ‘fresh Southern’ region.

It sounds like heaven, North Carolina and Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River,
Life is good there, better than Brixton, Biscuits piled like mountains,
Looking more like scones.

 

[Sue]

If it was good enough for James Stewart and Laurel and Hardy, it's plenty good enough for us.

I'll have to start one of those "pay for my holiday" "Southern US food research project" fundraisers. "Fishfinger goes to Biscuitville".

I'd donate to that. Truly #takingonefortheteam.

(I hate to think what a fishfinger is in Biscuitville though. Probably a tripe omelette or something. )

 

[danny la rouge]

Is anyone on Twitter or InstaFriend and can tell them about our community’s interest in them? I’d love to make contact.

Fishfingers for biscuits, the perfect cultural exchange. Must be a British Council grant would fund that.

 

[platinumsage]

Instagram is the best for this

Wouldn't you love it if your kids got you a Biscuitville Egg and Cheese Biscuit with biscuits and Grits and Cheese breakfast in bed, and a liter of Pepsi, for your birthday?

no biscuitvilles 'round these parts

Yes, I would. Very much so.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I'd pass on the litre of Pepsi to be honest
