I was only introduced to biscuits and gravy recently, in my 30s, but it's become my go-to diner breakfast.  I've never tried it at a chain place, but our local diner makes a fabulous version.  Probably the worst thing in the world for you, but eh.

Ah, mushy peas.  I worked for a caterer's when I was living in the UK a few years ago, and one of my more memorable tasks was cleaning out a HUGE vat of mushy peas that was about 5 feet in diameter.  (If you're not familiar with mushy peas, they're nuclear green and bear little resemblance to any known vegetable). …
