We got into this conversation at eggtc. when a friend ordered country fried steak thinking it was chicken. It wasn't as expected (mushroom gravy for starters) and we asked the manager and she explained. No big deal, but there are differences. If you order chicken you know what you're getting, if they offer country it might not be what you expect.

I don't know, but I watched my Grandmother dredge with eggs every summer from my 5th birthday until she passed about 14 years later. I HAVE seen country fried (chicken OR steak) with mushroom gravy (I like it, too!)
When I (or my Wife) make it now - we use "Kentucky seasoning Flour" for seasoning - it's found in most grocery stores and man, it takes me back to the country......
My God...Pork Chops fried in that stuff is what a little slice of heaven must be like....
