That includes such obvious specialties as crunchy fried chicken with livers and other giblets, fork-tender country-fried steak, braised pork chops, fried catfish and black-eyed peas.

Detroit Manager Sparky Anderson, who ultimately retrieved Morris but lost Catcher Lance Parrish to Philadelphia, is typically philosophical.
