Salisbury Steak

Salisbury Steak was named for James Henry Salisbury, a late 19th-century English physician who prescribed “the meat cure.” Salisbury said that eating beef three times a day could treat a variety of diseases and maintain health. He insisted that the beef come from disease-free animals and be made into chopped patties seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, horseradish or lemon juice. Years later, Salisbury Steak was the name given to an oval-shape ground beef patty, served with gravy and sprinkled with parsley. The Salisbury steak is often cited as an early example of what was soon to become “the hamburger.”

Chicken Fried Steak

Chicken Fried Steak:

is the classic example of an inexpensive regional folk food utilized by working-class folk and generally categorized as comfort food.

The precise origins of this dish is unclear, but many sources attribute its development to German and Austrian immigrants moving to beef-growing areas of western Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and possibly further north into Kansas, who brought recipes for Wiener Schnitzel from Europe to the USA. Now I am still wondering why call it chicken fried steak and there is not one piece of chicken in this dish. So I did a litle research and found out that one of the earliest mentions of a similar food is a recipe for veal cutlets. By the late nineteenth century numerous cook books provided the recipe. At that time the delicacy was usually called pan-fried steak or country-fried steak, or some similar designation, and it was very similar to the fried pork cutlets so popular in the South, where the swine industry was much more important than beef production. Chicken-fried steak is almost identical to German schnitzel

The actual term “chicken fried steak” was probably developed in the 1930s. It is possible the name change for this recipe was due to the war with Germany.
