Okay “Smear gravy” is new to me. I learned my redneck in Mississippi and Virginia, so I guess I’m jus’ ignorant.
It’s just plain ol’ white gravy, but a Texan friend of mine says his family made a distinction.
White gravy was “smear” gravy. (Why? I ain’t exactly sure.)
Brown gravy (like at Thanksgiving) was brown gravy, strangely enough.
Favorite Texas saying:
“Yesterday, It was so hot, I saw 2 trees fighting over a dog!”
I’ve just called it “Biscuits and Gravy” and it’s worked out fine. I’m not sure if I could walk into the local Lone Star Cafe and ask them for “Biscuits and Smear gravy”. They’d probably just stare.
Of course, I get that a lot anyway.........
