Sorry, Jerry, but she's right. A Southern home-cooked Chicken-Fried Steak was a nuclear secret the South never gave up, Lee's surrender at Appomattox notwithstanding.
We can't reverse-engineer it, however we may try.
If it's any consolation, New Englanders make the best clam chowder.

That's not what I was hmmmmmmming about, PI. I was hmmmmmmming over Bov's Yankee comment.
Ok, then what was the Yankee hmmmmmm about? Was it that their baseball team wins by means of outspending everyone else?
Arthur is just about finished with us. All we got was a lot of rain, but we needed rain, so all is good. 
Yup there are definitely some things yanks New Englanders do better! Clam chowder, lobster bisque, fried clams...!
Hi Sashwa, oh yeah and "stuffies" stuffed clams. Can't forget "steamers" either. Boil the clams, until the shells pop open, then remove a clam, dip it in butter and voila a taste treat !!!!! 
Hiya, Bov. When Rhode Island was still a colony, lobstah was so plentiful, that farmers would use them as fertilizer in their fields.

Do you mind if I ask where in RI you are? I have relatives in Foster. I was born and raised in Putnam, CT.
Edit: I bet most don't know that RI chowder is different than white or red chowder.

I'm in Cumberland, Sashwa. I know Foster, I used to go camping at the GinnyB campground in Foster, way back when. I have been to Putnam too. I had family in Rockville, CT.
From the way you were talking, I figured that you were a local at one time. What the heck are you doing in Alcatraz? LOL

Long story short - I joined the Marines when I was barely 18 and ended up marrying a local San Francisco Bay area guy. I stayed out here after our divorce because it was important to me for my daughter to have a relationship with her dad so I stayed. I also love the diversity and the weather of this area. Plus I was always considered the black sheep of the family.
I probably have been to Cumberland when I was a kid. At least I recognize the name.

Aha, another veteran on the thread. I was in the Army.
Cumberland is in the northeastern corner of RI.

I want some clam cakes and fried whole clams. I can't get them out here.
Alcatraz is a tall order for exotic seafood fare. Even in its current tourist incarnation, Pizza delivery would be out of the question.
Thank you for your service, Mr. Jerry.
I cheated and googled Cumberland because I knew the name sounded familiar to me.
When we had the Loma Prieta quake, I wasn't able to contact any of my family back there so when I went into work the next day I started calling the police stations in Putnam and Foster to see if they would get word to them for me that my daughter and I were okay. My staff thought I was crazier than normal. They kept telling me that they wouldn't do that. I just told them they weren't use to small towns. The Foster dispatcher told me that my aunt and uncle were on vacation but they would let my cousin know. My staff was amazed that both the stations said they would take care of it for me.
