I was in Paris last summer for only a few hours ( I had a long layover) and as I was walking through the beautiful boulevard of St. Germaine I saw this cute little sandwich place. So as I’m going in I’m rehearsing my appalling French, I get to the counter and turns out the dude was Mexican too! 🤣

I was waiting for the moment when he’d ask “what would you like me to do with the breast and thighs?” 🧨

It's actually a miracle that didn't happen. I don't know what I would have done!

Loved this. Don’t know why, but Dexter came to mind! Serial chicken killer.

Imagine your heebie-jeebies when you would have asked your butcher for a chapon 🤣

I loved this ……. Chicken is a very passionate subject for several people I know.

And, your illustrator is quite wonderful…..

Haha thanks, Amy! Chicken is indeed a VERY serious subject, apparently. And for the images—I design them with AI!
