Sounds like someone has never had chicken fried steak with white gravy.

He didn't say chicken fried steak, he said steak. You have to specify to get chicken fried steak, you can't assume chicken fried if you just say steak.
(And yes I have, times too numerous to count. I am now only allowed to have it once per quarter on doctor's orders)
ETA: your note on country fried is concurred with.

Not smoked gouda?

Certainly a suitable substitute.
For the sake of the taste buds.

Well, yes, but I think I'm funny.

You have my condolences.

HUZZAH!

You don't put gravy on steak, amigo.

I didn't mention you had to do anything with the gravy any more then I specificed what you had to do with the sprinkles.

You can put it on the steak, you can eat it like soup, you can put it on the dessert and put sprinkles on the steak, you can throw it at your enemies ... I am not dictating this - it is in theory your gravy you can do whatever you like with it.

My basic point was that gravy is nice and so having some is a positive regardless of what you use it for.

I have had gravy on a steak (with mashed spuds) - I personally like it, but you don't have too you can do what you like with your gravy (including swapping it out for raw, fresh horseradish if such is your preference).

I've seen some people asking how RC is going to explain why he has Detect Evil prepared right now, but he hasn't admitted that, just that he's used it that way at least a couple times in the past.

As long as RC doesn't start until the next day, his ruse is still good.

...Except for the fact that it clearly isn't and Xykon is just playing along with his excuse so RC can keep telling himself he's smart for manipulating Xykon.

[KorvinStarmast]

Perhaps I should have used a different smiley.
And to be fair, there is a hamburger patty / ground beef dish sometimes called Salisbury steak that is most usually served with gravy ... but that's not really steak.

That's an easy lie that goes with what RC said earlier.

He needs to be ready incase Xykon goes off on his own for whatever reason and RC needs to track him down. I somehow doubt Xykon tells RC everything he does and I wouldn't be surprised if Xykon pursued activities on a whim. So RC can just say he is preparing to roll with whatever Xykon may do.

Ribeye steak with gravy.

Imagine if Xykon did figure out what the ritual did... and instead of immediately taking revenge on Redcloak, he altered the ritual to send the Snarl directly into TDO's realm.

Not likely, the arcane part of the ritual doesn't do anything per se, it just alter the gate to make posible to be moved in the future, but doesn't move it, the divine part give control to TDO to move that "altered gate" wherever he wants.

While likely delicious, perhaps a smaller image would have been better?

I suspect they posted that from a phone because if I look at the thread on my phone, while the image is still big, it's sized to fit within the phone screen, unlike when I view it on my laptop and it's larger than life. lol

Ribeye steak with gravy.

That's a violation of all that is beef. Ribeye steak is grilled. (and if the weather is bad, it can be broiled or cooked at high heat in an iron skillet). {remainder of this rant has been excised}

Ribeye steak with gravy.

That's great, what did it look like before you ate it?

[Larsaan]

Last time I bought a steak, I sliced it into thin strips and stir-fried it with noodles. Where does that fall in this conversation?

As long as you put shrimp or crawfish in it, you're good. If you put tofu in it, you are beyond Evil!

What's wrong with tofu?

[dancrilis]

What's wrong with tofu?

There is an arguement*that it is made from people.

*(not a terrible good, convincing or factual arguement)

[pearl jam]

is that supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing?

[Ruck]

I found a great cast-iron recipe that we use pretty much any time we have a good steak to cook. It's never failed me yet - super high heat, baste it with butter and herbs for the second half of cook time, serve immediately.

[Peelee]

Not much of a recipe. "Take your iron. Add a dash of carbon. Slightly more than you might think. Fin!"

Are you Steven Wright, because I'm detecting a lot of deadpan literalism in this comment.

I've yet to meet an invertebrate that I agreed with having on my plate, so no, but I also didn't use tofu.

It was a pretty simple affair, really. I velveted the beef with a light marinade, stir-fried it with some red bell pepper in home-made scallion oil, added light and dark soy sauce with some chili flakes and a pinch of sugar to form the sauce, then tossed in the noodles at the end.

[faustin]

Yeah, I can only think of two examples of non-Evil fiends, and one of them is from Pathfinder. They're also both succubi, go figure.

Fall-From-Grace and Arueshalae?

Well if your pans were alive, they wouldn't be after the first time you cook something in them.

This is an affront against all steak.

[pearl jam]

That's, like, your opinion, man...

(though you are, indeed, not the first to express such an opinion in this thread)

[Larsaan]

Fall-From-Grace and Arueshalae?

That's the pair, yep.

[andowero]

Well, Xykon should keep away from Central Europe, then. Our most popular foods are just a ton of gravy with few bits of (anything, really). And the default state of meat is a schnitzel. And a schnitzel without a breading (I hope this is the correct word) is steak.

And the best sushi is avocado sushi.

Tofu is not made from people, you have confused it with _soy_lent green.

[brian 333]

Soy beans = good
Soy sauce = Good
Tofu = EVIL

It is known.

Not a fan of Asian cooking, I take it?
