God, I love this thread.

Sabang, good point about people enjoying eating all sorts of peculiar things from their corner of the world. My one and only experience with the aforementioned "biscuits and gravy" happened in Colorado. It was actually prepared by a guy from West Virginia. It was not at all what I expected. Haven't been back for seconds since. However, for whatever reason, chicken fried steak is one of those things I enjoy from time to time. There's a small diner near my old home, quite famous for its pies and amphetamine-ingesting waitstaff. They do a mean CFS (with brown gravy). I've had it at other places and it's just not that good. Must be some psychological thing.
