It’s hard to go wrong with gravy. But I’m Canadian, we don’t use whatever you guys call biscuits. We use French fries and cheese.

This should be a 3-way with Canadians putting gravy on fries.
Haven't tried gravy on pudding but I'm sure it's as great as the other two.
Tell me you’re a poutine virgin w/o saying it…
I wasn't being sarcastic. I like both poutine and biscuits and gravy, and I'm pretty sure gravy on pudding is good too. They all sound off-putting if you don't know what they are, though.

Brits who complain about (American) biscuits and gravy have clearly never had (American) biscuits and gravy
We made some for the first time about a month ago and it was pretty good. I have some ideas for improving next time, but it was good enough to be worth making again.
I did feel very silly calling it biscuits and gravy though. The "biscuits" are more like dumplings or something, made from crumbly dough, not actually biscuits (aka cookies or crackers for Americans, I think). The "gravy" is also not gravy, it's a thick sauce with vegetable lumps in. Ours was mostly tasteless but flavoured with thyme for a nice almost aftertaste. I was worried when I was cooking the sauce, but with a whole dinners-worth it was a really nice, subtle flavour. It lets the herbs and vegetables shine through.
I was looking up a recipe to jog my memory for the sauce, and apparently this is a breakfast food? Wtf is wrong with you, all of America? This was like a nice hearty dinner lol. What a bizarre way to start your day. Anyway, thanks for reading my review of biscuits and gravy that I don't remember why I wrote any more 😂
Vegetable lumps?
Not sure what y'all were having, but it weren't gravy.

Dafuq gravy did you have with vegetables? It's a heavily peppered bechamel, starting from a sausage fat roux.... and to spite the French a bit more we use black pepper.
Vegetarian? We did use black pepper in ours but not that much. I usually like quite spicy food whereas the other person I was cooking for does not, so it's possible I didn't put as much pepper in as most people would. It's also possible that I just didn't notice the pepper as much because I usually like eating chillies with my food.
If you're going for vegetarian that's fine and dandy but I think a preponderance of the flavor comes from the sausage fat. I don't think you can make a fair comparison from what you've described. The gravy is definitely not bland.
Also that's what biscuits are here. They are heaven.

You're incorrect; this is how we use the word "biscuit".
Edit: I fucked up; please see below.
What I mean is, in the UK we would call a biscuit either a crunchy sweet snack thing (aka cookie for America) or something to eat with cheese for lunch (aka cracker for America)
Yeah, I knew about that difference; I just completely misread your comment and thought you were trying to say that these weren't biscuits by American standards. My bad.

Usually, you'll find they'll start making fun of you before you can even explain what it is
