Mostly tasteless? You need to try a better biscuit. Also, while that biscuits and gravy thing is true, they're more often either on the side or cut in half with bacon and eggs or something in between the halves. It's not something you want to eat every day, but once every few months on a Saturday morning it's incredible.
I'm not sure that person has ever actually had a biscuit. I've never had a "spongey" biscuit. They are nothing like muffins either, which are closer to cake.
To Americans, biscuits are bread leavened with baking soda or baking powder.
That's it. Bread.
Where I'm from we serve them with a sausage patty in between the halves, and gravy on top. No one eats just a plain biscuit by itself... And they're supposed to be fluffy and moist, not 'crumby.' What was described in the original comment is exactly what a plain, stale biscuit tastes like. That's like an American taking a cold can of chili, dumping it on a slice of bread, and talking about how terrible beans on toast is...
I am American and I stand by what I said. American biscuits are not like muffins (which are closer to cake) and should not be spongey.
That's a bacon and egg roll. We make them using actual bread rolls.
