Until I was at my first college, I more or less believed that you had to go to a restaurant to eat Chicken Fried Steak (steak patties fried in batter, then covered in gravy, for non-Texan) and also to eat Mexican food, even if Mother told me there were people who actually made both in their homes! When I was in college, I was invited over to a friend's place for dinner where he and his wife (then girlfriend) made chicken fried steak! I was so excited I called up Momma and told her. "They actually MAKE chicken fried steak?" she asked.
