I don't mind any of it. I will attack fried chicken on the bone, steaks
and chops, ribs, etc., in public or private. I was taught to keep my
elbows "down". :-) Fried bonesless chicken is on my "won't eat" list.

My steak preference is rib steak. Unfortunately, most places now only
serve rib eye. Not nearly as flavorful.
