Is it me or was KFC tastier as a kid?

[Stanley Edwards]

Are we talking about the days when they used real rats?

Fuck off Jazzz. Given the popularity of the stuff across London you're either being a patronising twazzock of the highest order or a bit of a delusional twat. I'm hardly atypical of many mixed up families, with Asian and Caribbean influences, in finding fried chicken a staple of many a family cook up. The sneering conceit towards fried chicken, one of the most popular snacks in the working class and BME communities, is one of the things which gets on my tits about this site.

You stick to your organic food, having your mercury fillings pulled out and drinking 'extra pure' Pentawater eh. Weren't you one of the precious goons protesting about having Nandos in your neighbourhood, scared it'd drag the area down with its clientele.

I used to think you were a food snob. Honestly I did. Now I know you just read far to many Sunday supplements

I just like food Stanley. The fact that I like the occasional bit of fried chicken and the occasional delectable pork scratching doesn't discount my cooking ability or enjoyment of other food. It's part of a balance of gluttony.

Honestly this tendency to paint fried chicken shops as dirty smelly ethnic places gets on my wick. Especially when they're often balanced against 'good' British chippies, also frying unhealthy food in batter, often only using endangered fish stocks instead

Erm...

We're talking about good ole uncle Sam's KFC? No? Or, colonel fuckwit, or whatever his name was - the guy that used to deep fry rats to sell as chicken.

 

[tarannau]

Some people will believe any old cobblers Stanley. I once heard that a man ate three packs of space dust, followed by a can of coke ... and EXPLODED.

Imagine that eh.

the thrill of victory
the agony defeat

 

[Jazzz]

it's okay tarannau you enjoy the KFC, if others are missing out that's their problem isn't it?

<backs away from thread>

 

[tarannau]

Ah, vague apologies on that one Jazzz. In this case you were probably the misshapen saddlebag that caused the plastic horse to buckaroo. It's something that genuinely gets on my tits, but there could well have been a more fitting time to rant.

 

[Jazzz]

ah, no worries. and I did have a sneaky fried chicken about a month ago

 

[Stobart Stopper]

She's also the woman, as I've said here before, who conned me. It's only after she died that I twigged that she was an old car-less woman with a KFC 20 minutes away - the crafty cow had been cooking her own chicken and putting it in boxes that she had saved (complete with lemon facial wipes). She had a reputation as a legendarily talented cook in my family but that perhaps takes the biscuit. I don't know if it's good or bad to admit that that deceit's probably the thing that still most impresses me.

PMSL! Excellent stuff!

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Do children like it any less? I doubt it. Come on, you are meant to grow out of this stuff, it's if you still like it you have a problem

I still love it. I don't see it as a problem.

 

[The Loon]

KFC was better, Big Mac's where bigger and if you've never been to Huckleberry's you just ain't lived (who remembers that?)

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I don't see it as a problem either aslong as its not eaten as an everyday thing or something. I have it maybe a few times a month if that.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

I'd rather nosh MA than that shit...

I'm not sure how to take that.

So I will take it the best way, you want to eat me.
