This is like someone from up north being appalled at the concept of putting gravy on biscuits as a breakfast meal or a southerner shocked that northern states don't have Central Cooling.
Although, I would contend that the UK absolutely has need for firearms, now more than ever. They've got the largest problem of all countries with Islam "traditionalists" coming in and kidnapping their children to use as sex toys that keep you a virgin, because filthy infidels aren't humans in the eyes of Allah, so they can't take your virginity if you rape them.
We only get Pillsbury style up here tho or KFC rarely... your biscuits are different and lend better to gravy, or they'd be so dry. Nobody likes dry biscuits... except the British. 😄
The buttermilk keeps them moist without them getting too soggy. If they're saturated with buttermilk, the gravy can't penetrate and make them too mushy.
On another note...
I live near an area where some nuns started a convent and school for women. I went to visit it during a field trip and one of the stories they told was that the nuns landed after coming down the river on a raft and the only rations they had were watermelons and buttermilk, so they dipped the watermelon in buttermilk so hopefully the sugar could offset the deep savory flavor of the buttermilk.
Lone buttermilk can make you gag, if you've never tasted it on its own...
I bring this up because it yet again is a thing very few up north would have ever experienced. Many likely have not had real watermelon, only being exposed to the candy flavoring, and even fewer will have had ever tasted raw buttermilk. Imagine not understanding how vile the combination of the two might be, and perhaps you'll have an even more colorful vision of how regional items such as firearms can seem absolutely otherworldly to those who have never grown up with them.
Tell, me, how is your appreciation for clam chowder? I hear a lot of coastal northerners have an obsession for the stuff.
Boston probably has the best clams, so it'd make sense that they make the best chowder. New Jersey gets frozen soups and pre-made canned clam chowders... so yea.
