Much of southern cooking originated as poor people's food, but now it is not only considered respectable cuisine but is also celebrated around the world. Biscuits and sausage gravy originated as survival food that was easily accessible since wild pigs were plentiful while milk and flour were cheap in the deep south. This quick breakfast can be served alone or as part of a big country-style breakfast. No matter how you serve this traditional southern favorite, it is a great way to start any morning.
