Well, I grew up equating biscuits with Bisquick, which I like a lot.
Homemade is, of course, much better, and now I can even make them myself.
However, even Bisquick beats all hell out of the canned things.  Although
they're all right in context - you simply have to not think of them as
biscuits.  It's much the same way that McDonald's is acceptable as long
as you don't try to think of the things they sell as actual hamburgers. :)
