Nah, I meant the Japanese style katsu. There's "katsu", aka cutlet, and it's basically a Japanese style schnitzel (I use the German word only for humor and to emphasize the cross-cultural nature of this food). It's traditionally served with raw cabbage, maybe pickled vegetables, and usually a thick Japanese sauce that is a distant relative of Worcestershire sauce; it's a lot like A1 steak sauce. And then there's katsu-don, which is same cutlet served atop rice in a bowl (hence the -"don"), now generally with more of a Japanese-curry sauce. But alas the latter dish seems to be outstripping the former in popularity, to the point that one cannot be sure that "katsu" without "-don" is being used to refer to the former!
