^ Everybody knows that the fast food industry has been perpetrating such crime of substitution for real food since the beginning of time:

I saw a fight in our local KFC once caused by someone pushing in. I guess there's 2 potential ways of dying there - a fight or a KFC burger. LOL


Our local KFC was always full of people who look like they're going to attack you. The food is also awful. The chips are indeed cold and I don't know what it is about lettuce in fast food places. Last time I checked iceburg lettuce was supposed to be green and crispy, not brown and slimey... I wouldn't give that food to a dog to be frank.


I had KFC in canada once, and it wasn't great but it was a far more positive experience. The kids serving the food didn't seem to have the same skin problems that our fast food counter staff seem to have either, and they smiled.


KFC is also rather disgusting on the continent... I used to think it tasted somewhat goodin Canada, though...

About the fries not being potato (not just KFC, but McD and BK as well)... can anybody support this claim ??
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

The KFC employees in France (near me, at least) are also way nicer than in McDonalds or Quick. But the food still tastes like it's been sitting in the bottom of a dirty fryer for days.
Stop me from dreaming?
Okay :-(

Oh dear... These things are from my hometown. Thank god the inventor of the pneumatic tyre is too, and pipped the chippies to the post in getting his name on the "Welcome" road sign.

A few years ago, blundering around the city after a drunken night, I ordered a burger from a(nother!) chip shop. When it came, the whole thing was deep-fried! Surely this can't be normal?! I've never tried it again to see if I just stumbled upon a rogue frier that fatful night.

Anyway, anything could kill you these days, we're living in violent times. Embarrassed

Every year when I go back to England I make sure I have 4 things :-
 
Chicken Jalfrezi
Pork Pie
Cream Cake (with real whipped cream not the crappy US synthetic stuff)
Pint of Proper Beer (though truth be told I usually have about 30 of these during the week)

I suspect 'fries' in the same way as McD's are fries - ie, maize flour & water (no potatoes!)

How  are the chips/fries in your local KFC? Ours are truly awful. Much worse than either McDonallds or Burger King.
When I used to eat from KFC I noticed the chips were always stone bleed'n cold!!! >.<
