The saying, “Silence is golden” is but half of the phrase. The complete proverb is, “Speech is silver, silence is golden.” Now, that is beautiful. And it eliminates the wise guy who will say something like, “Silence is golden, but the right word is platinum!” I think I’ve said too much.

Chicken
Food brings people together (i.e., breaking bread), but when there’s an issue with the food, that could make an issue with the togetherness.
