Elizabeth Taylor’s Favorite Food Was This American Comfort Classic.

1 # Elizabeth Taylor even cooked her own fried chicken.

Perhaps it boggles your mind to think of Elizabeth Taylor touching a stove — the actress’s very name does evoke an otherworldly glamor not usually associated with plebeian tasks like food prep. However, it’s been documented that Taylor actually knew how to fry up her own chicken. Designer Vicky Tiel, who penned a memoir in 2011, reported (via Middleburg Life) that Taylor took a high-low approach to her dinner parties, pairing the most humble eats with the loftiest Champagne and priceless bottles of wine.
