A couple's fight for the last portion of fried chicken left a man with gravy on his face.
The argument on October 29 between Cameron Wilson and his girlfriend started over a cellphone but progressed to their latest meal - KFC.
Wilson's partner accused him of being selfish when he ate the last helping of KFC - and at that point she picked up a pot of potato and gravy and threw it at his head.
Wilson became angry at this and grabbed her, dragging her to the bed, prosecutor Sergeant Drew Morrison told Whanganui District Court yesterday.
Wilson punched her in the back of the head, at which point she kicked him, the court heard.
