I totally agree. I have a "thing" about not putting gravies or sauces on
meats that have been fried with a crisp coating. For me, that means fried
chicken and chicken fried steak. I don't mind having gravy on the side,
but *never* poured over it. I have an aunt who always poured gravy over
the entire platter of chicken fried steak that she had just fried to a
crisp perfection. I wouldn't eat it. I always asked her to save me a
couple of pieces before she drowned them in gravy. I ordered Maryland
Fried Chicken once in a restaurant only to find it covered in gravy.
Bleh!
