What is this with "dipping?"

@taxlady - I think it is: To tell the truth

@dragnlaw - I've posted dinners done this way a few times...see this Thread - and I've notice others do it too. I call it my Over & Under move...for those that do both. ;-)

yep, thanks Ginny, it does mean "truth to tell" -

and yeah, I remember you posting that. Don't think I've ever worried about whether or not it stays crispy - usually gone too fast. At least, hopefully! cooked right it will?...

In my house, there can be a lot of delays. Yakety-yak...or, ooops, doggies gotta go, NOW...or DH has to (colitis)...if the CFS is on top of the gravy, I don't fret.

 

[dragnlaw]

I hear yuh! My usual delays occur just when I CANNOT leave the stove.

When I want crispy, I want crispy. Sauce on something that comes by delivery means it won't be crispy when I get it. Heck, I don't even want my CFS sitting on a puddle of gravy. Just put it on the side. I'll take as much as I want. I don't usually want much sauce or gravy on something crispy.

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't believe I've ever served gravy for some meat that has been encased in breading. Isn't the purpose of encasing the meat to ensure juiciness?
I make gravy if something is pan-seared, sometimes. Roasts, yes; pot/blade roasts come with their own gravy already. Not for Schnitzel's even though they are pan fried.
More likely to make gravy to go on mashed potatoes, etc. For sure a hot chicken sandwich, but that chicken wasn't breaded.

Where I live, you pay extra for gravy and you do not get your choice of colors. Crispy things tend to crawl out of it.

That sounds creepy.
