Anyone else dying for a kfc?
Discussion
Often crave the original recipe chicken, especially the crispy skin.
A lot of the time its provided as soggy greasy skin which is the beginning of the let down.
Finish it off and the guilt sets in whilst you almost start feeling the grease inside you.
Make note to self not to have KFC based on the above.
Time passes, forget the above.
Lured back to KFC due to the smell and the 'crispy' original recipe chicken.
...and repeat...

On the contrary, McD's is always consistently fabulous
I've always thought McDonalds was consistently extremely average. You're never likely to get anything too offensive from it, you're never likely to wait too long for your order and it'll never cost you too much.
Though I suppose someone with my username would say that

Although McDonald's has issues with quality control, the main failing with McDonald's is the bland, sugary burgers. The fries are fantastic, on the rare occasion they reach you in peak condition. The burgers are dreadful. Burger King are a clear winner if quality matters over price. They're considerably more expensive than the competition, but always deliver a product that looks pretty close to the advertised item and they taste fantastic. They always have crisp, fresh veg too. The aforementioned 3AM McDonald's usually comes with grey, wilting veg that looks like it was scraped off the floor. But even at their best, McDonald's can't compete on quality.
I've always quite liked MCDs, although I've never been a regular customer, but generally thought they were tasty...
Until last year. A couple of us stopped for one at lunchtime, and it was absolutely disgusting. I don't think the "burger" could have been any thinner - and it was as dry as cardboard anyway. It was absolutely rank.
That visit was probably my first in a couple of years, and I was genuinely surprised at how awful the food had become. Maybe I was just unlucky, but even if they were having a bad day I assume the 1mm thick burger is still going to be just as thin on a good day. Don't think I'll ever be back in one.
I agree with some of the earlier comments that KFC is pretty variable in quality too - but even when it's bad, it's still pretty good!

As a parent of 2 young (under 6) children, I can vouch for the "Oasis" that McDonalds can be - worldwide!
You know exactly what you are going to get, how much it will cost, the quality is average - not great, not s
te, just average, free WiFi and usually spotless inside, especially the toilets! Coffee is good too & you get the freebie stickers!
Also, in France they are excellent when travelling as quite often, you fail to find that quiet little Bistro, frequented by all the locals that dishes up the most amazing French food & is just off the Autoroute!
McD's can be a winner - cheaper & less hassle than a divorce or whinging kids! I know I have not set my aspirations high but real life kind of gets in the way most of the time! Was eating at the Shard on Saturday night but McDonalds after swimming on Sunday - living the dream!

I agree in France. It's the only bloody place open on a Sunday. Like going back to 1978!

I don't mind a bit of junk food now and then (apart from Subway after the halal thing), but my local KFC is a right drongo zone.
The food is exactly what you'd expect, but the clientele is noticably scummy. Chavs! Fatties! Layabouts! Tracksuit-wearers! Nose-pickers! Big gobs!
I don't go there in case I become infected with council

Around here KFC is essentially a North African enclave.
