Arguably one of the more confusing dishes in Texas is "chicken fried steak"
which has nothing to do with chicken at all but is in fact a cut of beef steak that
has been battered and then fried in a pan. It's like a steak schnitzel.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_fried_steak

To add to the menu confusion, they also have "chicken fried chicken" which
is crumbed chicken that is fried. One of the "chicken's" in the name is arguably
redundant, but they seem to have to add it in order to differentiate it
from chicken fried steak.
