I don't think I really understand this dish. Especially the milk gravy. Can citrus fit in here anywhere to cut the glueyness?

Some of the fancier dining establshments in Texas do incorporate citrus into their chicken fried steak presentation. They take a single slice of an orange, make an incision from the center to the edge, and twist it into a neat little garnish. It goes on the plate right next to the sprig of curly leaf parsley.

Seriously, though, the only thing that flavors an authetic cfs cream gravy is lots of black pepper.

[Edit] And you don't know the meaning of gluey until you've had the leftover gravy the next morning, warmed up and poured over a couple of biscuits.

Well then, I'd rather have the frim fram sauce with the Ausen fay with chafafa on the side. But that's just me. I'm sure it has its glories.

Hot sauce is served on the table as a condiment. :wink:

Oh, that helps.
