    Central to this image is a close up of a rotisserie cooked chicken on a white plate with its orange-ish chicken juice pooling underneath it, all on top of a wooden dining table background. A piece of the chicken breast has been ripped off by an unseen person revealing the sinewy white meat within – it doesn't look very appetising. Placed behind and in front of the chicken, slightly out of focus, are side dishes; there are bright green peas, a green bottle of sparkling water, the stem of a wine glass, and then another plate with some salad greens, a red tomato, and what could be the missing piece of chicken breast – a blurry dinner knife is next to this plate. At the bottom of the image there are the edges of two more plates suggesting the table is set for a normal, suburban, family dinner.
