How the heck do you chicken-fry a steak? ?

[Cander]

Chicken-fried means battered and fried in a deep frier.

[RobDog888]

Can you say Shake and Bake

[space_monkey]

No the real question you should be asking is how do we deep fry a snickers bar? (its a national secret)

[sevenhalo]

Don't question our means of getting fat. If we choose to call it chicken-frying instead of the former "deep fat frying" (serious, that's another term for it); we'll do it.

[Cander]

Deep fried candy bars are so damn good. Nothing symbolizes American obesity more! WOOOOOOOOOOOO

[grilkip]

Deep fried steak.. What's next?. No forget I asked

Deep fried candy bar sounds kind of cool.

How about a nice cucumber sandwich? followed by and apple, and a banana, a pint of real ale and an afternoon watching cricket.

No thanks. I'd rather eat high cholesterol foods then watch something stressful and have a heart attack.

[yrwyddfa]

I can tell. Your flatulence puts me off my work even from here.

[Cander]

My flatus is odorless.

[yrwyddfa]

But unfortunately not silent. It even disturbs the wildlife. And sometimes, albeit rarely, I can smell that your body has not quite properly digested that all important chicken fried good-ole american only processed cheese.

I suspect it's a combination of saturates, kidney, liver, and vascular injury probably caused by excessive consumption of American beer to wash out the American processed cheese. American beer, of course, is a drink which anyone else in the world would more probably (and certainly more accurately) describe as piss-water.

[Cander]

I don't drink american beer, nor do I eat american cheese.

pwned!

It's easy to tell fibs when you're currently in a bar supping said drink and talking to me through your wireless internet connection.

I'm at work fool! Don't make me come over there.

[yrwyddfa]

I think that the noise from >3000miles is enough, sir! Please be quiet you're disturbing the cricket . . . .

[Hack]

How the heck do you chicken-fry a steak? ?

Oh please.

Are you telling me you don't know how to train a chicken?

Everyone knows how to do that.

My wife and I both have trained chickens at home. Mine brings me my slippers, a beer poured in a frosty mug, and my favorite TV watching snack each evening after dinner.

I am not going to go into what my wife's trained chicken does for her. Private stuff and all that. I'm sure you understand.

Training a chicken to fry a steak is child's play for Gods sake. *shakes head in disgust* In fact, chicken's love to fry steak. They stand at the grill and stick out their little chicken tongues at the steak and go "Na na na na....better you than me!"

[RobDog888]

Its part of that ever lasting feud between Chickens and Cows.

* hey wheres grilkip? *


Bob seems to be bragging about having a great dinner last night.

Sounds delightful, i'll be round in an hour

Fried Chicken.

Steak fried like Fried Chicken.

Therefore, Chicken Fried Steak.

Its basically ground beef battered with the same flour mix as fried chicken, and then dropped in the fryer.

Tastes pretty good.

[RobDog888]

I didnt know that type of food would make you gain so much weight that you'd be considered "round".

[grilkip]

Fried Chicken.

Steak fried like Fried Chicken.

Are you saying deep fat frying is the standard way to prepare chicken? I shudder to think.

The Americans do have a few nice inventions, the BLT (thanks Colbert), those 'fluffy' pancakes. BTW do they put heroin in Big Macs? Those things are addictive.

[sevenhalo]

Are you saying deep fat frying is the standard way to prepare chicken?

At fast food places, it's usually the standard but they also have rotissery grilled. It's a little more healthy. On the other end of the spectrum is "chicken poppers." They basically cut up the meat and deep fat fry each morsel individually. That way, you actually get more "skin" then you do chicken.

I preffer chicken and rice. Really good meal and mildly healthy.

BTW do they put heroin in Big Macs? Those things are addictive.

No, they just remove any nutritional value and leave just the remaining substance in the pattys. They're not addictive, you're just malnutritioned.

[Hack]

Fast food and healthy do not go together and never should. Fast food places are a beacon of light in an otherwise dismal world.

As if any more signs were needed, it became clear that the world as we know is rapidly coming to an end.

The have salads at McDonalds now.

I can think of fewer things more disgusting. Is there no place on earth that I can go and not be faced with a salad???????????

Give me meat. Just lead it to the table and hand me a hammer.
Give me deep fat fried chicken with the grease just oozing off of it.
Give the salads to the freakin' rabbits.

You'd love this franchise we have in the midwest called "B-Bops." They'll make a burger as big as you want it. Not to mention, the gfood is so greasy, it actually soaks through the syrofoam container.

[Al42]

I don't drink american beer

That would be difficult to do, considering that what's sold here (the commercial swill, anyway) can only be considered "beer" if swine can be considered avians. Although I had an IPA at a brewpub once that could give new meaning to "BLAM!". Nearly knocked me into the next state.

Look at my profile. I live in the midwest, and I know B-Bops...LOVE those burgers slathered with fried onions and drenched in mustard along with a heaping platter freshly fried french fries dripping with ketchup.

*Sings* I'm in heaven, yes in heaven....

Where in the midwest are you?

[sevenhalo]

Right now, Northern Iowa.

I don't know where i'll be in a month. Looking for a new job. The one I'm at isn't exactly laid out for long term employment or room to advance. It's deffinitely a resume builder though.

[Hack]

Right now, Northern Iowa.

Oh, Ok. I like Iowa. My wife and I have been there a number of times.

We have been to the Field Of Dreams "park" (for lack of a better term) several times, and have been to Des Moines for quite a number of Iowa Cubs games (we both really love minor league baseball.)

[sevenhalo]

After you make it to the bridges of madison county in winterset, you've pretty much seem everything as far as tourism is concerned.

Um I doubt anyone fries in fat anymore, at least not the big commercial resturaunts. I think they probably fry in veggie oil.

Nothing is really "bad" for you if you eat it in moderation and counter-balance it with exercise.

[space_monkey]

exercise.

Why the sudden switch to some forgein language?

[Hack]

Nothing is really "bad" for you if you eat it in moderation and counter-balance it with exercise.

I eat nothing in moderation, avoid any type of fruit and vegtable and what in the heck is "exercise"?

We have a great cure for that, Hack, it's called "the coronary". I had 2 and decided they weren't as much fun as everyone said they were, so I quit smoking, dropped 60 pounds and decided to live forever or reasonable facimile thereof.

But I agree about "exercise" - isn't this a family forum? Some kid may see the word and get ideas, and then where will we be? Sued for imperiling the morals of a minor, that's where.

[yrwyddfa]

IPA? It counts as beer, I guess, but I'd try beers like Spitfire, Centurion, or London Pride. If you want to drink that pale stuff - incorrectly called lager - then try any of the North European countries (Germany, Holland, Belgium - but not France) as they produce the best of it in the world.

As for the mustard comment? I didn't think American's had mustard. I thought that yellow stuff they put on their food was mass produced preservatives dyed yellow.

Try English mustard for the real flavour (and real kick) If you're a wimp use Dijon mustard; the wimpish French equivalent.

Use this mustard prefrably on a pork and cox apple sausage (grilled, not fried)

If you can't get hold of the above then just have a good cup of tea. I recommend Lady Grey, myself . . . it goes well on a sunny summer's afternoon watching the village cricket match; to be served with strawberries about 3pm. You can get away with Lady Grey in the morning and if you have to, Earl Grey, but it must be served with a bacon sandwich at 11am. Not before and not afterwards. Lunch, of course, is served precisely at 1pm.

. . . . and there's nothing faster than picking an apple and eating it.

The farmer might shoot you and scream in a Cornish accent "Get 'orff me land, fella" though

Pub ales? I guess, if I'm just looking for something wet.

Damn! Another illusion gone.

You are so right. As a moderator, I probably should have stepped in right away and put the hammer down on the use of the "E" word.
