My beginning English student told me that he had eaten chicken and candy for dinner.
I hesitated a moment before I clarified that.
Who am I to judge?
Maybe he DID eat chicken and candy for dinner.
It sounds like great comfort food.
A few shots of whiskey would make an excellent dessert pairing.
I was very disappointed to find out, on questioning him, that he had actually eaten chicken and vegetables for dinner.
I am now rethinking my own dinner plans for tonight.
