If You Could Be Fried Chicken...

"If you could be fried chicken, what type would you be?"

These kinds of pressing questions are the things My Special Man Friend ("MSMF") and I ask each other.  

When MSMF asked me this one morning in bed I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Me: "Fried chicken!? What type of fried chicken would I be!?"
MSMF: "Yeah... Original recipe? Nashville hot?"

Me: *having never thought about being fried chicken before I needed to think about this*

Me: "I'd be extra crispy with lots of seasoning. Like spicy but not saucy. You know I can't stand stuff all over my fingers..."
MSMF: *silently considering my fried chicken selection*
Me: "And I'd want to be a chicken breast. I hate skin or funky pieces of gristle-y meat. What about you?"
MSMF: "Extra crispy spicy."

Like two peas in a pod, we're two similar pieces of fried chicken in a bucket.

Following this exchange, I looked into fried chicken and how many different styles there are. There are A LOT! Japanese Karaage. Maryland fried with gravy. I'm just sad I missed the opportunity to be my fried chicken spirit animal - Popcorn! Anything with the name popcorn in it, including popcorn itself, I'm probably going to be a fan of.

Who's hungry!?
