So this makes me curious - if you don't have white gravy, what do you do with your grease after you've fried up some sausage or bacon?

I am vegetarian. I don’t know

Oh! Well that makes it simple, doesn't it!

Never heard of white gravy. Also scones are not disgusting.

It's basically a roux made of meat drippings, flour, milk/cream, pepper and often crumbled up sausage. It's a distinctly "Southern cooking" American-ized adaptation. A vegetarian version would just drop out the meat products. A full vegan version may use something like soy or almond milk to replace the dairy. I have never tried to make a roux with soy or almond milk though, so I am not sure how well it would come together. No promises on the flavors lining up either. A big part of white gravy's appeal is the flavor profile from the meat product. I bet you could easily sub in a veg sausage option to suit your diet if you were interested in experimenting though.

We have biscuits and gravy, instead.

That is gross

I agree, cream tea sounds better than biscuits and gravy. I like scones, cream, and tea.
I also like biscuits, with butter, or with strawberries and whipped cream (ie. strawberry shortcake).

FYI, that's not real strawberry short cake. Short cake is made with shortening, hence the name

Loved Strawberry Shortcake growing up!

I know, but we don’t have shortening, so we just make biscuits and call it the same .
