B2. Chicken-fried steak.
Coincidentally, this dish was mentioned this week over in
alt.usage.english. Tony Cooper explained it there as:
|| Chicken-fried steak is a tenderized (beaten with a meat hammer) cube
|| steak dipped in an egg batter and then fried in a skillet. The result
|| is beef with an outer layer of breading similar to fried chicken.
And R.H. Draney added:
| For those trying to cut down on red meat, you can even order
| "chicken-fried chicken", which is not the same thing at all as "fried
| chicken" (the latter has bones, for instance)...the distinction
| is something like that between a hamburger and a "hot hamburger",
| a dish available to the best of my knowledge only at the Drifter
| restaurant in Silver City, New Mexico.
Now you know, if you didn't.
