Yes, very much. Fresh tuna steaks, barbecued are great with a summer salad.
Do you?

I'll occasionally take the canned stuff and mix it with a bit mayo, relish, and black pepper, and spread on toast for a quick lunch.
Ahh! I have cats, opening a tin of tuna can be deadly. Actually they get a tuna treat once a week, the bit thats left my daughter (a pescatarian) has with her dinner. The joke is she is having left over cat food.

Sausage gravy is just fried ground sausage, and then a roux is made from the fond by adding flour, milk, and seasonings.
I don't understand the visceral, knee-jerk reactions.
I wonder if it would be received differently if it were presented as a Canadian dish.

You do realize that that is an American invention don't you? And if you ever ate one of those fresh out of the oven You might be rethinking your use of the word "chips".

Cookies actually. I even see some inferior chocolate chip cookies in the mix.

A crumpet? Isn't that a lady of the evening? Okay, but only because you are recommending her.
Gravy should be brown in the eyes of a brit.
I wonder what it's like with Toulouse sausage.
Or saucisson

It's aesthetically and linguistically offensive.

We have brown gravy, which is often served over mashed potatoes.

That's as it should be, but gravy (any colour) is not for scones ;-)
I use the water I've cooked the veg in to make gravy. I wonder what your white gravy would look like using purple carrot water?

As long as it contained sausage and its drippings, and seasoned with black pepper.
Also, biscuits are less sweet and more savory than scones.

It is pretty easy to make. You need fresh sausage, not a hard sausage like salami. Brown it in a cast iron pan over medium heat, chopping up the sausage as it browns. When browned at a third of a cup of flour cook while stirring fir a minute or so to start a roux (that's one of them thar fancy southern cooking terms
) Oh wait, how fatty were those sausages? before you add the flour why not throw in a tablespoon or so of butter. After you have cooked the roux a bit slowly stir in three to four cups of full fat milk. Heat to a boil and lower the heat to a very low simmer. Meanwhile you should be scraping all of the fond (another cooking term that means "the goodness") off of the bottom of the pan. Season to taste with salt, a healthy amount of black pepper, maybe some paprika or any other savory spices. When it is thickened it is done. Remember, this is no namby pamby British gravy. This is one guaranteed to clog the old arteries. eat it and if you did it right your face will go from mildly disgusted skepticism to joy as the faces of those students did,. The head master seemed to really enjoy it too.It is best served immediately. If you are a baker you should be able to knock out American biscuits pretty easily. Please note, this probably should mot be a regular breakfast item unless you are about to work it off with a mule and a hand plow. It is full of the worst sorts of fats.

Of course not. That is why you put it on biscuits.

I asked a strumpet what I could get for a crumpet and she offered to "play the trumpet".

You mean correct. Our use of the word "biscuit" is the traditional one. It was the British that changed their biscuits::I do. You can tell by the incorrect terminology.
The History of the Biscuit
British biscuits used to be savory too. But from the description of a ship's biscuit in the article I can understand why.
Meanwhile our word cookie came from the early Dutch immigrants. A reminder, at one time New York city was called New Amsterdam. Cookie essentially means :small cake". Here cookies were always sweet:

That's just a click bait title.
Jellied eels, ok
Black pudding, sliced and fried, you can't have a full English breakfast without it
Mince pies, I'm not keen on them but they certainly aren't disgusting.. click bait
Pork pies, what's wrong with minced pork in pastry?
Mushy peas, tasteless as any pea's, depends who prepares them, traditional with fish and chips.
Stargazy pie. Never heard of it. But we did have fisherman's pie for dinner on Thursday night
Fish finger sandwich, why?
Haggis, see black pudding, but boiled, meh.
Marmite on toast, you either love it or hate it. To me it's the most disgusting item on the list.
Prawn Cocktail Crisps. They flavour crisps with all sorts, i prefer pesto or truffle flavour.
Winkles, not had any for years, as i remember i wasn't very keen.
Scotch eggs. Sausage and egg with bread, what's wrong with that?
Tripe, now you are into the realms of really disgusting, my grandfather used to eat it. Not for me, i definitely prefer fugu and that can kill you?
