@witnwisdomappstyle: 🥣 Biscuits & Gravy: A Mountain Food Story After the Revolutionary War and into the 1800s, many families faced hard times and had to make the most of what they had. In the South, cooks relied on inexpensive staples like flour, lard, milk, and pork drippings to put filling meals on the table. Some food historians trace the roots of biscuits and gravy to 19th-century Southern Appalachia, where hearty, affordable meals helped feed hardworking people. Sausage gravy, sometimes called sawmill gravy, stretched a little meat into a filling breakfast before a long day of labor. What began as practical country cooking became a comfort food loved across America. Around these mountains, it still tastes like home. ❤️ Did your family make biscuits and gravy from scratch?
