You seem to be lost. This is a thread about fried steak. When someone starts a thread about low testosterone, then you may want to chime in.

It's country fried. Brown gravy preferred for me.

But, it's inferior overall to a perfectly done, thick country fried pork chop where no gravy is needed.

That's good too, but these days, if I'm doing pork, I go with lemon pepper and cook it in the oven in one of those oven bags.

My favorite all-time meal is the Country Fried Steak at GOODSON'S CAFE in TOMBALL TEXAS with mashed potatoes, squash, greens and their awesome rolls with white gravy.

amazing it took this long for someone to get this correct, and had to use google to boot



Chicken fried is crispy fried

Country fried is soft and mushy

Give me chicken fried every time

Bull shite. Fried green tomatoes. Fried Okra. Turnip greens. Collards. Black eye or pink eye or crowder peas. String beans. Navy beans. Sliced fresh onion. Sliced fresh tomatoes. Hell just pick a couple.

Buttered cornbread. Sweet iced tea.

A salad? That’s an Austin, Texas move.

Country fried steak is battered and fried steak which is slow cooked after frying in brown gravy, or pan gravy. Chicken fried is cooked and the gravy is poured on top and should be milk gravy (white) unless you are a cretin and your mama didn't love you. Personally I do not see any logic in choosing one over the other...they are both key ingredients to a happy life, why choose? Life is nothing if not stressful...having to choose between 2 of life's greatest pleasures that can take place with your britches on is illogical...


Gotta give Texas some credit...they know bupkus about BBQ but a man can find a damn fine chicken fried steak at a dairy queen (known as a Texas Stop Sign for those unitiated in such things) in Texas. And, having an abundance of cows about the place and no idea what to do with them (thus the entire brisket infatuation) they will take a rib-eye, which would make a grown man in New York or Paris cry it is so beautiful, batter that fricker up and chicken fry it...there is much to be said for rednecks with oil money and chicken fried rib-eye is right at the top of positives.

It is a testament to why ails this nation that going to the google to know the difference between country fried steak and chicken fried steak is a thing. Anyone past the age of 8 who does not know the difference has suffered severe child neglect and their mama and grandmother ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Salad? It is no wonder there are more cats as pets in the US today than dogs.

Country fried steak, mashed potatos and peas, butter or pinto beans, or, if youre a health nut green beans, maybe fried corn...and corn bread.

The main difference is the gravy used. However, they are breaded differently. Chicken fried is dredged in egg, flower, then fried. Country is double dredged in flower, without the egg.



What kind of flower? Tulips or Daisies?

I hate it that yall can't appreciate a good salad. It's pretty damn good to me, especially when the tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and peppers are out of my own garden. That's why I grow that stuff.
I even make my own dressing for it, with lime juice and Badia seasoning.

Of course, the garden is done now, so it's time to start using the yellow squash out of the freezer.

I've always wondered why the frick we call fried STEAK chicken?
"Chicken fried" is an adjective that modifies steak, describing a way of cooking cheap steak cutlets to make them more appealing. It's steak cooked like one would fry chicken.
