I've never had chicken fried steak before.
Is that weird?
Well, it sounded kinda good so I gave it a try. Cooked it up and sat the famile down to eat. And it wasn't so good. Shane loved it. Having served his mission in the South he likes fried food (is chicken fried steak even a southern dish??) And he gobbled it up gravy and all. And the gravy was the worst part! Ugh! It was so foul.
Shane is a fairly picky eater so I think its safe to assume that there wasn't anything wrong with my attempt at CFS for dinner. The problem is entirely with me. I couldn't stand the texture. Now that I'm thinking about it I am much more of a fan of breadcrumb or panko fried items vs flour fried.
Either way, I don't think I'll be cooking that again anytime soon. The thought alone makes me feel quesey (did I spell that right?). But hey, at least it was gross enough to kill my appetite so I didn't starve when I didn't eat my dinner.
I LOVE chicken fried steak! I don't think it's just a southern thing, because I had it when I grew up in the midwest. Haven't had it in awhile, but running across this blog entry makes me want to go to the store and buy some!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE CFS too. And I'm a CA girl since birth. LOVE to make fried chicken too--do it the same way. I can give you gravy pointers if you ever want. I had been craving CFS or fried chicken and just made chicken before Easter when we had the Elders over for dinner. YUMMO!!!
