Chicken & dressing would greatly be appreciated. šŸ˜‰ You can only get it at home. Restaurants only offer turkey & dressing. 2nd choice is fried chicken breast. That is what the OP offers and I accept. Iā€™ll take mashed potatoes, whole corn with apple pie for desert. Can you pass the shaker of black pepper to me? Iā€™m ready to eat. Milk to drink. ---

Fried please. Legs and wings. Mashed taties with chicken cream gravy. Roasted corn on the cob, lots of butter. Apple pie, no ice cream. A glass of skim milk. Thank you, I look forward to dinner. ---

Thanks, man! Pan-fried chicken, go ahead and do up the whole thing, Iā€™ll take the breast sections home in a doggie bag after I demolish the dark meat and wings; mashed with pan gravy; corn stewed with okra and tomatoes; apple pie with two scoops of French vanilla; copious amounts of Pilsener beer. See you next week at my place. The cold snap is supposed to continue, so Iā€™m making a big pot of tripe soup. ---

Broiled, mashed (skins on, salt, pepper, and only a dash of butter; none of those dairy mountains held together by potato starch that some people prefer), on the cob (boiled, but not over cooked. Make sure thereā€™s still crunch!), apple pie (none of that overly shiny and gelatinous filling; just apples, spices, sugar, maybe citrus, and an eentsy bit of corn starch is fine), and a not-too-oaky and not-too-fruity red wine. Thanks! Itā€™ll go great after my peanut butter sandwich on stale bread I had for lunch! ---

Fried. But I donā€™t want potatoes. Can I get a biscuit? Thanks. And no corn. Because Iā€™m already eating a biscuit and thatā€™s already enough starch for me. Can I get some collard greens instead? Thanks. And because Iā€™d like to do the pie ala mode, Iā€™ll just take water. I ainā€™t trying to get diabetes. Thanks!! [/difficult person] ---
