Not only is it fun to say (it's rather cartoon-like, don't you think?) Chicken Fricassee is good to eat and easy to prepare. A fricassee is a bit like a stew but isn't quite as heavy.

Bostonist doesn't know many people who dislike delicious & elegant food-but we DO know lots of people who dislike making it.
