We asked Anna Comfort, 10, about her favourite food made by Mom, Judith Comfort, a Nova Scotia food writer and author of Spuds! Dulse! Fiddleheads! (Nimbus, 1986). Anna says, "I like her chicken better than Kentucky Fried because it's not as salty, but it's still very crispy and not too spicy. My mom lets us eat it with our hands. But it's sticky, so plan to use about 10 napkins. It's an easy recipe I can make myself. I like mashed potatoes and peas to go along with it." Younger sister, Lillian Ruth, 7, would add a crunchy salad made from greens gathered in the Comfort family's large ocean side garden.
