Country Fried Steak, Taters, Fresh Greens

[5stringJeff]

I grew up in Texas, and we called it chicken fried steak. But I don't care what you call it, it's about the best meal ever!

They also fry up the chicken hearts as well. My grandpa loved them.


Chicken fired steak with a big ole plate of mashed taters, corn and biscuits was my favorite growing up. I may have been born in So. Cal. but I was raised by a bunch of hicks from Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Chicken flesh, liver and heart on a plate...I fear if that was ever put infront of me it would soon be covered in a vomit sauce!

Seriously that is vile. (but I don't wana drag this topic into another meat is murder debate, as it's just a light hearted discussion, so feel free to ignore this post)

LOL I know you are right, I get confused with the different names ,lol, but after the first bite i know what it is, LOL , But Jeff every time I go threw Texas all I can think about is a big ol steak , never fails I either stop and get a steak, or recently I have been stopping and getting Mexican.

Chicken fried steak isn't chicken flesh, it's beef.

But I agree with you about the heart and liver... I'm not a big fan of organs.

Tex Mex is wonderful! I was in Texas last month for a few days and ate Tex Mex every chance I could get! Here in GA, there are a couple of decent Mexican places, but Tex Mex has its own unique flavor to it.

Down here in Ga it is called country fried steak ,at least in this part of the woods, call it what ya want but it is good, as for the northerners you refer to , if I remember right you aren't far from DC, but if I'm wrong I see ya do live in Md, so it isn't far from DC ,it may be below the line, but when I lived in SC ppl would tell me anyone north of the border was a Yankee ,lol Now in Ga there a bit better anyone north of the NC, VA line is a Yankee, anyway anyone living that close to DC is with out a doubt considered a northerner. So maybe up there in the north y'all call it Chicken fried steak.

South of the Mason Dixon.

Anyway originally it was called Chicken fried, I think some queer on the Julia Child show coined the "country fried".

Jeff if ya ever get North of Atl. try going into Gainesville there are some fantastic Mexican restaurants there , My wife isn't home so I can't give ya the names , but Gainesville is refered to as little Mexico so it wont be hard to find a good one.

There is also a good Tex-Mex in Gwinett, I haven't been there in a while ( being we moved north of there) but again the wife could tell me the name, lol

LOL , I am a Yankee , I was born and raised in NJ, I don't try to deny it, like some ppl do, I have been in the south for 18 yrs , so some say I am a re located yankee ,

There is a distinction between chicken fried and country fried in Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas (in no particular order) that I know for certain about. The head chef at Pleiku AB, Viet Nam also understood the distinction and used it often to the delight of all of us Southerners that were there at the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some folks here just don't know what the hell they're talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone up for a julep?!?!??!??!?!?!?!?!??!
