'Trash'
Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Feed to dog and go out for some fried chicken.
I've been waiting for some Buffista to come in here and talk about how CFS is so misunderstood and if you've never had a REALLY good one, you've never had it.
Well, that Buffista would be lying (or possibly just insane). Betsy speaks the truth about CFS in ALL its incarnations.
In a haze, I ordered chicken fried steak the other day.
Christ. Way to go to ruin good cow.

The cow was ruined at the point that the cube steak was formed. The frying just made the death official.
sounds like weiner schnitzel

Safer than UK beef these days, but I don't think you have to worry about that either.
A few weeks ago SBS TV screened a Frontline episode about US beef production. All American beef cattle are raised in feed lots, where they eat nothing but corn--a food their stomachs were not created to process--and spend their entire lives standing or lying in faeces. After their accelerated fattening process gets them to a point where they're ready for slaughter, they're processed in a manner that is so fast-paced and volume-based, that health and safety controls are pretty much rendered pointless.
However, what really turned my stomach was the constant claim that American beef is "marbled" b/c "marbling" gives it the flavour Americans love so much. Ugh, no thanks, I'll stick to a nice lean Aussie steak.
Avoid Kobe beef at all costs then - it's NOTHING but marbling.
I love chicken fried steak. But what's even better is my mom's chicken-fried venison, with gravy and buttermilk biscuits. Best comfort food evah.
My grocery bill is higher than it has to because I try really hard to get, if not organic, at least free-range, vegetarian, antibiotic-free meat, eggs, and milk.
I can't go back to non-organic milk now, and regular eggs are gross too.
