The UK don't really have the american style "biscuit" or "biscuits and gravy". The closest thing to it would either be a crusty bread roll, or a scone (or a fusion of the two).
The Americans have got this one badly wrong, however. The word "biscuit" is french, and comes from the latin "bis coctus" (bis=twice, coctus=cook). The literal translation in both french and latin means "cooked twice" - which of course the american "biscuit" is NOT cooked twice... so maybe a new word is required for them :p
