Just as they fry it "down on the Farm" -Donahoe's Farm Style Chicken Dinner- You begin with a Pineapple Sherbert fruit cup, then picture yourself a platter of piping hot fried Spring Chicken (fried as they fry it "down on the Farm") with that buttery, golden crispness- and along with the Chicken comes a gravy boat of thick, rich Chicken Gravy, then a bowl of light fluffy Mashed Potatoes with the center hollowed out into a pool of melting Butter.- Of course, there's Corn-on-the-Cob, served with plenty of Butter- a bowl of that tasty Sour Cream Slaw(the farmer's favorite).- Tasty Dinner Rolls, Corn Muffins, Butter and old-fashioned Apple Butter in abundance.- Then choose your favorite dessert from a large variety- and you may finish your dinner with Donahoe's Famous Coffee with rich cream, Tea (Hot or Cold), Milk or Buttermilk.- Eat All You Want- Donahoe's wants you to feel that you've had a REAL feast.$1.25
