Didn't want to start a whole thread on it, and this seemed like a decent place to mention, I just got back from the USA and while we were there had KFC. Now I know KFC isn't exactly great, and I realise there's a ton of poo poo English food and that there's an argument about British vs US food here every five minutes and it's loving dull. But what the gently caress is up with KFC in America? It tastes like rear end! Edit: I get the impression that here in England it was re branded as KFC instead of Kentucky fried chicken, and the recipe was refined and improved, but that to do so on its home turf would be blasphemous. Seriously, it tasted like a meal prepared in the 70s, all grease and rock solid batter, water plumped meat, mostly pepper. !Klams fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Sep 8, 2016 |

mdm posted:I've had KFC in both places and they are the same It's really really not at all the same. For starters in America you get what looks like a whole bird if you get breast meat, but then you start to eat it and you realise it's like 99% water. The batter basically tasted of grease and pepper. There was only one burger on the menu (whereas kfc here is basically just burger meals) and the wings were like, double fried? I dunno, they had a layer of tasteless rock hard batter on top of a layer of pepper batter? I'll grant you though, yeah, the side choices were amazing. Over here you either get a pot of baked beans, or else you get disappointment. But like, if the best bit of your meal is the Mac and cheese with biscuits, surely just go somewhere that does those things well instead? Oh yeah, lol, also one of the meal options was called "2 chicken littles", and I tried to order it and she goes "you want two chicken little meals?". Like, gently caress. !Klams fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Sep 8, 2016 |

Moridin920 posted:Yeah KFC is hit or miss (as with any fast food really). Try Popeye's next time a lot of people seem to prefer it (myself included). Ah, ok that actually makes sense, I guess there's just less quality control then, every single kfc here is exactly the same. Fair dos. I was expecting it to be like the golden source, the paragon of fried chicken and then it was just strictly worse and I was sad. Next time I visit I'll try again, and certainly make a trip to Popeyes.
