If you order this you'd better like corn! It's like a thick stew made from partially creamed corn, ground beef, bits of chicken, hardboiled egg, and raisins. Kind of like that, only better. There were about 6 or 7 plump raisins in the entire dish -- easy to pick out if you don't like that sort of thing. The bowls are around 6 inches in diameter so this is not a small portion. It comes with a choice of salad, rice, or fries and costs about 9 bucks.
