Chicken Fried Food

All right, so things with the new room mate continue to go along very well which is a huge relief given my previous living situation.

so new room mate asked me yesterday if i liked chicken fried steak. i have never had chicken fried steak (or chicken fried anything for that matter) and asked him what in the hell chicken fried steak was anyway.

he grew up in texas eating such foods which apparently are common fare in the southern part of the U.S. and was shocked that i had never heard of this, much less eaten it.

so he offered to make chicken fried steak for dinner. great. i love to try new things. as it turns out he didn't have steak but he did have chicken and said that we could have chicken fried chicken? huh?

for those that don't know, i have learned that 'chicken fried' whatever means that steak, chicken, pork chops, etc. is pounded out flat, dipped in bread crumbs, then dipped in eggs then dipped back into the bread crumbs and then fried in a skillet of lots of lard. i had never heard of, much less seen how such a thing was made.

after the chicken was all fried up, he added flour to the grease then stirred in lots of milk and this made chicken fried chicken gravy.
all of this was served with mashed potatoes and green beans.

i have to tell you that for as remarkably heart stopping as this meal was, it tasted SO GOOD. i can see why people like fried foods, especially chicken fried food.

oh yeah, its 'chicken fried' because whatever it is you are making is dipped in eggs (from chickens hence the name).
you can also chicken fry just about any kind of food. you can chicken fry vegetables or fish or anything.

i wonder how many people know what chicken fried food is before reading this.
it was all very educational for me and i have to say, it tasted so great you should try it at least once.
