I wish deep-fried chicken had been invented when I was a kid. I would've loved it.

The Roman cookbook of Apicius (4th century) has a recipe for deep-fried chicken called Pullum Frontonianum.[1]

The American English expression "fried chicken" is first recorded in the 1830s, and frequently appears in American cookbooks of the 1860s and 1870s.[2] The origin of fried chicken in the southern states of America has been traced to precedents in Scottish[3][4][5] and West African cuisine.[6][7][8][9] Scottish fried chicken was cooked in fat (though unseasoned)[3][5] while West African fried chicken was seasoned[3][4][9] (but battered[7][10] and cooked in palm oil).[6] Scottish frying techniques and African seasoning techniques were used in the American South by African slaves.[3][4][5][9] Fried chicken provided some means of an independent economy for enslaved and segregated African-American women, who became noted sellers of poultry (live or cooked) as early as the 1730s.[11] Because of this and the expensive nature of the ingredients, it was, despite popular belief, a rare dish in the African-American community[6] reserved (as in Africa) for special occasions.[10][8][9]

when kfc is good its goooood but its a massive gamble and probably plays into one time I had it as a kid and it was good

is there a kfc near you? does it taste like american kfc?

prefect posted:

it smells too drat good. a combined taco bell/kfc is a problem, because the wonderful smell can trick you into ordering the wrong food

I worked with a boomer who would go on vacation overseas with her husband and she would go see the sights of Paris or whatever while he would stay in the hotel, watch TV, and eat whatever she brought back for him. lol

the popularity of american fast food has nothing to do with the taste and everything to do with how many calories you can slam down your gullet for as little money as possible, as mentioned while completely wrecked on booze or other drugs. that people do it while sober is a testament to how evolution has failed us

There is absolutely nothing wrong with fast food and the people wandering around hooting and hollering about how it's debased and how it "makes them sick" are virtue signaling classist shitheads.

McDonalds has one of the cleanest and most efficient supply chains to ever exist in human history.

Taco bell is ground beef with significant vegetable filler (which isn't a bad thing imho), tortillas, cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce in various configurations. It's basic, normal food. If you can get uppity over something that simple you can get uppity over anything.

The fact that people will piss and moan about how 'unhealthy' McDonalds is before going to some local place and slamming down some 1800 calorie burger of the week and three beers will never stop being funny to me.

Yeah. Also people complaining about "processed" food but not being able to define the term coherently or explain why cheap food that has a certain step performed in its production is "processed" but fancy food that has an identical step performed in its production is magically not "processed."
