Yeah, it’s the same frying procedure but you first debone and pound the chicken as you do for chicken-fried steak.
Which I suppose technically makes it—and I don’t think there’s a way of conveying this without group-delimiting punctuation—“(chicken-fried steak)-prepped fried chicken”.
There is also chicken fried bacon.
The first sentence of that Wikipedia article amuses me – “Chicken fried bacon consists of bacon strips dredged in batter and deep fried, like chicken fried steak.” So, parsing that, it’s bacon that’s fried in the manner of steak that’s fried in the manner of fried chicken.
Well, faggots does make more sense in British English than in American English. A faggot being a piece of wood used to burn a heretic, and the faggot food being a overly-cooked giant meatball. It is similar to a bland meatloaf.
It’s kind of the grandaddy and motivation behind threads here, in many days past, of if a hot dog is considered a “sandwich”, and the true denature of “sandwich” or any bread and filling combination?
And why, don’t they call a Hoosier Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, a “chicken fried pork schnitzel sangwich”? Always mustard, onions, and pickles.
You must be thinking of Chicken Frying Squirrel?
I grew up eating those. We had them every other week for lunch at school. We just called them “tenderloins.”
I’m in the northeast, and I’d wait until the weather got cooler to buy any food by mail, but I’m also interested in trying really old cheddar, if you have any suggestions of where i could buy it.
My best advice is to contact any/all of those 3 cheese places about shipping you some, once the cold weather starts to set in.
What do you even call cheese that old? “Extra” doesn’t seem old enough. “Antediluvian” seems too old. Antique? Ancient? Midlife Crisis?
Clintonian cheddar.
The elder cheeses, as in the elder days.
Non-fried spring rolls are typically bigger and more savoury. Unlike fried spring rolls, non-fried ones are typically made by filling the wrapping with pre-cooked ingredients. Traditionally, they are a festive food eaten during the Cold Food Day festival and the Tomb Sweeping Day festival in spring to remember and pay respect to ancestors. The Hakka population sometimes also eats spring rolls on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar (三月三 sān yuè sān). The wrappings can be a flour-based mix or batter.
Edit: There’s also Summer Rolls, which unlike Spring Rolls are never deep fried.
Unlike spring rolls and egg rolls, summer rolls are served cold (perfect for the summer months) and have a translucent wrapper. These rolls go by many names: Vietnamese spring rolls, summer rolls, fresh spring rolls, or salad rolls. They’re of Vietnamese-origin, and typically consist of rice noodles, carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, herbs, and shrimp or pork wrapped in a rice-paper wrapper. Summer rolls are typically served with a peanut or hoisin dipping sauce.
Spring Rolls, Summer Rolls, and Egg Rolls: What's the Difference?.
What is so Rare as a Summer Roll?
Sorry, what is the question?
Summer Rolls, Gỏi cuốn are broadly an alternate Vietnamese name for Spring Rolls, usually, but always differing as stated in my post above, the wrapper. At some Vietnamese shops, I’ve seen both Spring and Summer Rolls. Spring Rolls always have shrimp and I believe the Summer Rolls are vegetarian. I believe the sauce is different also.
I frequently make cold spring rolls! My gf loves it when I make cold spring rolls. Fake Krab, all sorts of sprouts, minced carrots, etc. Gotta keep Tomb Sweeping Day in mind.
Oddly, my ex-girlfriend’s family used to celebrate Tomb Sweeping Day / Qing Ming / Bai San (Cantonese), but I don’t remember ever having Spring Rolls. In fact, I’ve never had Spring Rolls, fried or not at any sit down Chinese meal I’ve ever had.
Like fortune cookies, the only time I’ve had them was from Panda Express or our local Chinese take-out places.
I am culturally appropriating Tomb Sweeping Day. Just saying. Tombs need swept, spring rolls are awesome.
Is the calendar reckoned by the light of the Two Cheese?
What is so rare as a Day in June by James Russell Lowell, often misquoted as “What is so rare as a Summer Day?”, combined with “Rare” as meaning “not thoroughly cooked through”.
This joke has officially died on the dissecting table.
