Fried Chicken
Ambrosia that preserves our mortality and humanity.
The most delicious unifier, it is consumed wherever fowl are found, spanning many countries and most continents. While it may be prepared in various ways, the desired outcomes are identical: crispy, crunchy, juicy, and flavourful.
A humbling dish that requires getting our hands dirty to consume it properly, as we bite, scrape and suck around bones in plain view of our guests.
When we eat fried chicken, we permit others to glimpse our true face: greasy and vulnerable.
