Those who have travelled a lot in the US would be aware of it. Here in Vancouver it was never on menu's until a few years ago, BUT, it's only on menu's of diners that offer US Southern food. You most likely won't see it a
" normal " diner.
I bet though, if you were to stop 10 people on the street here and ask them, 8 would guess it was chicken, instead of beef.
If shown the dish, many may say it looks like a schnitzel. Which brings up the question when is a schnitzel not a schnitzel? My local grocery store sells schnitzel made from beef and chicken. No gravy is involved, but just a squeeze of lemon.
If you asked Canadians what a fried beef cutlet is and it was described to you, you would say "Oh, that is what we call chicken fried steak."
It's basically the same thing, prepped and cooked the same way, except there's different seasonings or coatings may get used depending on whether it's beef, veal, pork, lamb, chicken or turkey cutlet.
I would love for that interviewer to find me. I might ask him some Canadian history questions he doesn't have on the tip of his tongue. For example, what event triggered the 1958 election where Diefenbaker achieved a majority (the answer is that Lester Pearson, as minority leader, attached a rider to a Government bill, which passed. Pearson considered the passage of the bill to be a vote of non-confidence and requested a chance to form a minority government. Diefenbaker advised an election, which the GG then called. I doubt that this CBC interview could handle a reverse-interview.
