Buckfast. HTH.
Now yer talking. A man that knows buckfast.My wife currently has a bottle in her suitcase flying over the Baltic Sea to give to her brother who misses it.
Disgusting stuff and I'd argue against the benefits of nostalgia. But if he wants to drink alcohol that tastes like milk of mangesia soaked in cola cubes fair f
ks to him. Nephew screwed me for 17 quid on a bottle of that stupid over priced prime juice which is also in the suitcase so I can't criticise.The best wash down for KFC is wheat beer. But it's generally the best wash down for anything. Alternatively check your supermarket for grease cleaners.

I had a KFC before Christmas and ordered a box meal. What has happened to the Zinger burger. It's shrunk by about 1/3rd.

Honestly lads, who goes to KFC and orders a burger? It's a bit like going to McDonalds and ordering chicken. Wrong place for the order.
A zinger is a chicken burger, not beef.I was and am joking but if I go to KFC I want deep fat fried chicken. I see no other reason to go there. If I want a good burger from the main chains it'll be BK. Debating in my head now whether a McChicken sandwich is worse than a KFC burger, I've lost the will to care but at least McDonalds aren't as dry and stingy.
Separate, but as a proper chilli head who thinks vindaloos are mild the zinger burger has no noticeable zing for me.

All of the spicy options in any chain take away or restaurant never taste spicy to someone used to heat unfortunately as they cater for the lowest denominator who see a bit of black pepper as a challenge vaud said:
I remember thinking it was the ultimate when I was about 10, and also there were very few KFCs.
Good fried chicken can be excellent, I've only found KFC to be crap as an adult. Soggy and greasy.
You say that like it's a bad thing! Good fried chicken can be excellent, I've only found KFC to be crap as an adult. Soggy and greasy.
To be fair, it does vary from restaurant to restaurant. Also, if you've ever tried fried chicken from any of those KFC knock-off places, you soon realise that KFC isn't actually so bad after all.

This is the big issue with KFC and something they really should be tackling on a corporate level. More often than not you get greasy chicken, cold chips and gravy like water.

I'd recommend reading the book "Fast Food Nation", it's years since I read it and I've forgotten lots but micromanaging everything down to a consistent level is part of McDonald's special sauce, that and being child friendly when many other places frowned and harumphed at people bringing their children in.

I agree that one of the things McD's has to a tee is consistency. I can order a Big Mac in pretty much any country and know what it'll taste like. KFC can be a bit of a gamble.

a) consistent
b) clean
c) edible
I got food poisoning in Paris in November at a restaurant and after 3 days of not eating I went for McDonalds as it was going to be safe, easy to eat and give me some energy back...

I can't remember the last time I was abroad and didn't have a McDonald's at least once. They are everywhere and you know exactly what you're getting.

Man cannot live on Italian pizza slices and white wine alone, mainly because I'm not always in Italy and don't really like white wine.
this is an interesting watch on the fall of kfc in the usa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVNSn7oYnOU
