The meatloaf I grew up with wasn't even loaf shaped. It was cooked in a glass pie dish and a hole was left in the center instead of spreading it out evenly so that most of the fat could drain out of it while cooking. You avoid the glop in the center when taking slices out of it. But yeah. Ground beef (or later we started making it with ground turkey instead) with some bread crumbs (or crushed up croutons since the product called bread crumbs is overpriced) and a sauce that was mostly ketchup mixed into it (ketchup, vinegar, spices, half the sauce that gets mixed up goes into the meat mix, half goes on top after it's in the pie dish).

Let me check. Yep. Except for the very top thing where they're trying to sell turkey loaf every picture was actual meatloaf. Most of it had beautiful ketchup smeared across the top! How did he do his research and not see that what he was showing is not meatloaf?

Chicken Fried Steak comes out of the Texas German community, and is descended from Weiner Shnitzel. It is made from plain cuts of beef rather than veal, and is beaten to death with a tenderizing hammer for about half an hour, then flipped over and beaten on the other side for another half hour until (as my late Dad said) you could read a newspaper through it. The "chicken fried" moniker is from the dipping in flour and frying as you would do fried chicken.

2:25 I don't know what that is but it isn't meatloaf. Meatloaf is traditionally made with either ground beef or "meatloaf mix" which is ground beef, pork, and veal(I use this to make my meatballs). And the ingredients are simple: ground meat, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, 1 egg, salt and pepper. What you top it with is your choice. Some top it with ketchup. We use a mixture of ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar. My ex-wife would cook it in a pot of spaghetti sauce.

I've said it several times and I'll say it again. Biscuits and Gravy is just us skipping several steps of a meal. What it is is that time after you've finished your dinner and you grab a bread roll or piece of corn bread and you use it to sop up all the goodness left over on your plate (usually meat juice and gravy.) Biscuits and Gravy is us saying, "Hey, instead of having a whole meal and then being too full any only enjoying that little bit at the end, how about we just make that a meal?" and we did. It's skip the appetizers, veggies, fruits, main dish, sides, etc. and dinner in general and let's just put the "leftover" meaty gravy over dinner carbs. The concept is sound, it's just the vernacular that causes an issue.

Basically it's fine as an aid, but unacceptable as a crutch. It's one half of the meal and if you skimp on it, it's going to literally taste and be half-assed and everyone will be able to tell.

Whatever that was you showed is Not 'meatloaf'. Meatloaf is made with ground beef, some sort of breading, a raw egg as binder, various spices, and ketchup within and on top of it, sometimes topped with bacon and then baked in an oven. It's usually best on the second day. Best served with home made mashed potatoes on the side, also makes a great sandwich.

Chicken fried steak descends from German immigrants trying to recreate schnitzel without the correct ingredients, instead using a piece of beef that has been hammered flat with a meat tenderizer before breading and frying it. The name comes from it being deep fried in the style of breading and frying method as fried chicken. Chicken fried chicken (what a concept) is the same dish, but using chicken that has been hammered flat instead of beef. I assume to foreigners who aren't familiar with schnitzel and related dishes, this can be confusing, especially with the odd naming convention. You'll note that chicken fried steak is nearly always served with mashed potatoes, both because the same gravy is good on both and because, again, German immigrants introduced the meal, but it was originally German potato salad (which is NOTHING like American potato salad) that morphed over time into the modern mashed potatoes and gravy. I'm glad you enjoyed it; it's extremely popular in Texas, thanks to our large infusion of German immigrants in the 1800's, and is typically served with mashed potatoes as lunch/dinner or with eggs and Texas toast as breakfast.

Most of the American dishes that cause Brits discomfort are usually meals that came out of poverty or necessity. Things like biscuits and gravy were a way of stretching a meal to feed a large family as cheaply as possible. If you look back at our country's history, families typically were large and lived in rural areas, which ironically is a "recipe" for poverty. So we grew up eating these things like fried bologna, meat loaf, beans and weenies etc. out of necessity because they were cheap, filling and you feed a large family. We eat these things now because we grew up with them-they're our comfort food that reminds us of home and family. Were these necessarily gourmet or the best tasting? Absolutely not. They are simply a reminder of how and where we grew up. A Chinese philosopher once said, "What is patriotism except the memory of the foods we ate as children."

That “meatloaf” is actually head cheese. Meatloaf is made from ground beef with possibly ground pork and sometimes ground turkey mixed with bread crumbs or saltines, bound together by adding raw egg and topped with ketchup thanks to baked.

Biscuits and gravy are a southern staple.

Can confirm. I live in Tennessee, close to North Carolina and I have heard of biscuits and gravy. Not that I would ever put gravy on biscuits (was raised in New England, to me biscuit demand sourwood honey). We do have good barbecue, especially the Western North Carolina style which is very popular in Asheville. If you’re ever in Asheville, North Carolina there is a barbecue place called the Three Pigs. It’s basically an institution from the 50s/60s. My parents and I love it so much, excellent pulled pork. Also as a New Englander I do enjoy a hearty cup of New England clam chowder on a chilly day (it does get cold in the eastern part of Tennessee especially if you go into the Smoky Mountains).

Exactly. Where did the Mid West crap come from?

The meat loaf shown in the video is not what most of us would call meat loaf, but rather perhaps ham loaf or pimento loaf. Meat loaf is almost always darker, made of mid to high fat ground beef, mixed with actual bread or crackers to get the consistency of something between meat and bread, and usually glazed with ketchup and brown sugar, and often the mix contains onions, celery and carrots to taste. Ham loaf is often eaten cold on sandwiches, for example, and is closer to spam in texture.

Looks more Like a German Fleischkäse („meat cheese“) and usually is made with finely ground meat.

Spam is a loaf of meat, technically, but you’d never catch anyone calling it “meatloaf”, lol. There is also Pimento Loaf, which is kind of bologna with pimento-stuffed olives in it.

Lawrence what you showed as a meatloaf was actually more of a terrine. A terrine is made much like a Pate but less liver and more finely ground meat. Terrines are usually served chilled, much like pate with crackers. Meatloaf is always served hot, unless it is a left over on a sandwich.

Being a dyed-in-the-wool Yankee from Upstate NY, I was completely taken by surprise with "biscuits and gravy" when I was first introduced to it, back in the mid-'80s. I was in North Carolina, in the USAF. One of my pals was a local and one Friday evening he asked me if I wanted to ride with him to his parents place and have dinner. I readily agreed, being tired of fast food and the chow hall on base. He said, "She's making biscuits and gravy!" with such enthusiasm, I had to contain the fact that I had no idea what he was on about. I thought he was talking about dinner rolls, covered with a smooth beef gravy, as one puts on mashed potatoes. I thought to beg off, thinking his folks were rather poor, if that was the evening's menu. -Imagine my surprise when we got to his place. His mom was a legendary cook, and I was treated to the best biscuits and gravy that I am ever likely to taste. Everything was scratch-made. Even the sausage. My heart knew, instantly, that this is soldier's food, only fit for someone burning 10K calories a day, and not for some modern American young man in his 20s. I could tell it was bad for me the moment my mouth lit up and wanted me to pour the entire tureen of sausage-laden silky gravy into it. As we finished up, I realized we had a Northern version of this "delicacy": "SOS", or "Shit on a shingle", or, properly, "Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast". I grew up on that. No wonder I had a heart attack at 46. Sheesh. Thanks for dredging up those biscuits and gravy memories. I tried it many times since then, but it always falls short of the amazing culinary miracle my friend's mom pulled off that steamy summer night, so long ago.

Mixing in crackers, dry bread, eggs, tomatoes, and many other things to make meatloaf, was for the purpose of stretching a pound of ground beef as far as possible.

Fun fact: clam chowder became popular in the US during WW2 when rationing made fresh foods difficult to find but canned clams were readily available.

I think the "meatloaf" you showed is what we in Tennessee call "souse," pronounced like "house" with an "s," bits of meat and gristle left after processing the bigger cuts, pressed into a loaf or roll and baked until the gristle melts into gelatin. "Meatloaf" is ground beef mixed with bread crumbs and spices and sometimes eggs as a binder, usually topped with a ketchup-based glaze, baked in a bread pan or casserole dish.

You can get sausage gravy in a can here at most stores. Get one of those and a tube of biscuits and you have a cheap, easy meal for after work when you need a pick me up.

As a NZer, I was surprised that "meatloaf" is something I have had since the Fifties. You would think we followed the British colonial pattern, but in this case, what I remember is definitely as the USA people describe; coarse beef mince with chopped onion, egg, grated carrot, herbs, baked in a loaf tin in the oven. Also good sliced cold as a lunch dish, or for a sandwich.

What he showed is nothing like American meatloaf. Ours typically has ground beef, onions, peppers, maybe celery or carrots, egg, and some kind of starchy binder like bread crumbs or oats. And of course it has salt, pepper, herbs too. But then it usually has a sauce, or gravy. Brown gravy is common but so is ketchup! Or a ketchup sauce with other stuff mixed in. My family always did half ketchup half barbecue sauce. As it bakes the sauce gets caramelized. It's not dignified by any means but it's hearty and all the add-ons really stretch the meat for a bigger family. With leftovers we do sandwiches but never cold, we griddle the slice first in a pan.

Yeah there's other chicken fried dishes like chicken fried pork chops, chicken fried catfish, etc. But chicken fried steak is by far the most popular.

@@jarvindriftwood country fried pork chops are so much better than the steak (imo) - I dunno why so many people sleep on those!!

@@DJMarcO138 So, very much, agree! My favorite pork chop is still dipped in egg, rolled in spiced corn flour and baked. It soaks up all that grease for an excellent (probably not heart smart) flavor. Any left over egg is mixed with the corn flour and served on the side. Just in case my heart doesn't feel the pain.

@@jarvindriftwood Never heard of chicken fried catfish but guessing it is much like Long John Silver's. I can walk right out 50 feet and dip my line into the rive for a catfish and dip it in some cornmeal to fry up a batch. Leftover cornmeal soon becomes hush puppies. Leave the tail on for a nice crunchy treat.

As an American living in the South, I love cornbread! 🤤❤️

There's another KZread video in which some British schoolboys and their schoolmaster are served some biscuits and gravy. Their initial skepticism ceases when they try it. The same group is served American fried chicken and sweet iced tea, and it's sheer heaven to them.

Chicken-fried steak is also commonly referred to as country-fried steak in many restaurants.

I believe each has a different style of gravy if I'm not mistaken (which I might be).

The difference is whether it's white or brown gravy, respectively.

the way i make meatloaf is basically a giant meatball shaped to a loaf of bread, then finish it with a gravy / ketchup glaze

As an American who moved to the UK I was confused the first time I was served chili over rice without any cornbread. It’s not the same. Cornbread goes with chili served in a soup bowl not on a plate.

Biscuits N Gravy is one of the greatest things ever. Instantly make me think of when i used to spend the night at my grandparents growing up and my grandma would make it everytime for breakfast the next morning.

There are two kinds of Clam chowder. New England clam chowder is thick, creamy, and milky-white. Manhattan clam chowder is tomatoey, brothy, and clear. I like them both.

Three, actually. Rhode Island Clam Chowder is clear instead of red or white.

Only 1 of these is actually a Chowder as it is milk based and the Manhattan is technically a Bisque as it is tomato based. As for the rarely heard of Rhode Island which is clams in broth.

I grew up in New England (Connecticut) and my mother would make clam chowder and stuffed claims when we went claming. I preferred the Manhattan style.

54 year old here. This was told to me by either my grandma or aunt, not sure who. It is called chicken fried steak because the batter and seasonings are the same as u used in fried chicken.
