Several years ago a company took over our work cafeteria and the
manager and chef were both from far, far north. First breakfast they
prepared sausage gravy was on the menu, (sausage gravy is pretty much
on every breakfast menu here) I got a bowl and a biscuit, paid for it,
and went back to my department. It was sausage chicken gravy, as in
made with chicken broth. It was horrible on biscuits when you're
expecting good old milk gravy and sausage. BIG disappointment.
