I'll counter your Simpsons reference with another Simpsons reference.... Bees on the what now?

American biscuits are basically just dense, bland, bread. Hell, you can find old 3 ingredient recipes for them that are just "flour, water, and cook fire ashes", a thing that screams "pour stuff on me for I am but a flavorless brick invented to fill empty stomachs". Thus the gravy. 😆

Yeah, that's pretty much how I reacted. When I heard, my brain just kinda stopped for a second.
