I had to stop myself from going on a bird tangent, but the short version is that only SOME birds are delicious, so the potato still reigns supreme.

Clearly, dinosaurs are delicious since birds are dinosaurs, and you yourself pointed out Lord of the Rings are the potato movies, so I think we’re good to go.

Counterpoint:

1. Only some birds are delicious! I bet hummingbirds are gross.

2. LOTR are the "second breakfast" movies.
