The other “steak”

So after I was contemplating chicken fried steak, I still had this nagging feeling…  “I remember two things on the school lunch menu that I never understood.  Chicken friend steak and something else.  Some other steak thing…”  It bothered me all night, UNTIL, I remembered the other weird steak offering:  Salisbury steak.  What is that?  How have I gone my entire life since second grade without ever running across this entree again?  I’ve never seen it on a menu.  In a magazine.  On an episode of Top Chef.  Never.

After finding this description on Wikipedia, I hope I never will: “Salisbury steak is a dish made from a blend of minced beef and other ingredients, which is shaped to resemble a steak, and usually is served in brown sauce.”
