  • Honestly, I’m probably not the best person to ask. I grew up in an area that was fairly rural, but very far north, so people used the term “red eye gravy” very loosely to refer to biscuit gravy made with strong black coffee. Ham may or may not have been involved, and often it was made with a roux made of bacon fat. Generally the biscuits where I grew up were drop biscuits. I’ve been vegan for more than a decade now so it’s been a loooooooong time since I made it myself and I usually just used left over bacon grease, although my understanding is that authentic red eye gravy is generally made with country ham drippings, that’s correct.
