Thanks again everyone for your comments!
Having eaten catfish (yummy)(with all the trimmings) for the first
time in Austin last year (at the Catfish Parlour - what a place; the
owner/or manager personally welcomed us, gave us a cap and shirt and
told us how he enjoyed a trip to OZ some time ago), look forward to
trying the Ky version. Also had fried chicken steak which was terrific
- however in Ky you may mean real chicken as in Kentucky Fried
Chicken. Now of course KFC is all over Oz and I have experienced it
once or twice in my life with no desire to do so again -- but I'll try
the Ky version for educational purposes as the birthplace of same <g>
-- maybe there is a world of difference!
