The short story takes place these days, in BA. The narrator is a woman whose father is at a health center under post-operative stress. She goes everyday to feed him and does her best to make him eat the "rico pollito" served there. She sees him as a little child that depends on her, which exhausts her and makes her feel rather frustrated, too.I need a natural,up-to-date, mother-like word to translate "rico pollito" into English. Answers from English native speakers are welcome!

But I don't suppose she would be at all bothered about "borrowing" from KFC
