Most submissions thus far work just fine, but agree we've got a few that aren't quite used in the context of a food, like Biscuit City. Yes it's a bread roll of sorts but not necessarily in this song. You could argue lobster pot and gin bottle too but since they are a food and beverage respectively I'd let them slide even if it's the container being referred to. Candy apples and oats are great, but do people really eat hay?
Chicken To Go works just fine since it is used in the context of a food, all be it one you can conveniently pick up through a drive thru.
Now as for Rainbow Trout, this littly fishy is used as a metaphor for a woman in the song with the same title, not in the context of a food. Since Gordon incorporated many examples of fish in his songwriting there are many examples that will work perfectly well and I suspect we'll be seeing submissions shortly.
Does the above make sense? If it's too confusing we can say "let 'er rip" to any and all with or without context of food. As long as the song was indeed written by GL himself. What does everyone think?
P.S. My faves so far...."home cooked meal," You just can't beat 'em--and chicken to go! (never knew of that one before!!)
