Chicken Fried Steak
Chicken Fried Steak is the German term for the English phrase chicken fried steak.
This phrase refers to a piece of beef that has been breaded and fried in the same manner as fried chicken, and it is typically served accompanied by gravy.
Did you know?
- If you were to translate this phrase into pure German, you would end up with hähnchenartig paniertes Rindfleisch, which sounds much more clinical and less appetizing to a local.
- In a traditional German restaurant, you are much more likely to find 'Schnitzel' on the menu, which is the cultural equivalent of a breaded and fried meat dish.
- If you ordered Hähnchen instead of the borrowed phrase, you would receive an actual bird rather than a piece of beef.
Examples in context
- Ich möchte ein Chicken Fried Steak bestellen.I would like to order a chicken fried steak.
