The three of them put mashed potatoes in a bowl and ladled the chicken and noodles on top. I caught grief because I had a separate bowl of chicken and noodles plus another with my mashed potatoes topped with a generous portion of butter. I’ve tried my mashed taters topped with chicken and noodles before but I simply prefer to keep them separate. It becomes a mushy mess of sorts but with just a dash of sugar, I find that quite tasty. My Dad would spread butter on a slice of bread and then top it with the peanut butter.
