• New Pope - - -New Friday menu

    From Ed P@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 8 16:37:42 2025
    For many years, Catholics did not eat meat on Friday because the church
    had a contract with Mrs. Paul's fish sticks.

    The new pope is from the US, a first. Rumor has it, Friday will be
    designated Kentucky Fried Chicken Day. Final contract negotiations
    nearing completion.

    I hope they opt for a low sodium version. That stuff
    will leave you guzzling water for hours while never
    quenching your thirst.

    Isn't that a sign of diabetes?

    No, that's a sign of over salted chicken. Other chicken
    joints don't have me wanting to sleep in the kitchen
    near the faucet.

    I can't remember the last time I had chicken from KFC. 20 years, at
    least. The best fried chicken in my neck of the woods isn't overly
    salty. It's freshly fried at a Shell gas station mini-mart. It's
    injected with hot sauce and is billed as "Cajun" even though the people
    who run the place are from India. It's nicely crisp and very tasty. It
    puts KFC and fried chicken from other fast food chains to shame.

    Over 40 years for me. I had KFC twice back then and after each
    I suffered badly from indigestion. So I have never felt like
    repeating the experience.

    You are not alone. I made the mistake of having some back in 1995. Past experience made me leery of having it but someone gave us some and I had
    a piece. It made me feel just as bad as the one about 20 years before
    that. Never again.

    I don't know what KFC in Canada does to its chicken. I've never been
    sick from eating it here. There are better places to get fried chicken,
    so when the mood takes me I go to one of the mom & pop chicken places.
    I'd like to try Korean fried chicken, but they all seem to add some
    kind of gloppy glaze afterward.

    I am assuming that they use the same recipe, ingredients and methods
    that they rest of the franchise uses. Perhaps we have different
    tolerances for the amount of grease we can handle in a meal. I always
    assumed that I had the family gall bladder and it turned out that I did
    have a problem there.

    I have had so few experiences with KFC that I can remember most of them.
    I remember having it when a kid and the first store opened up locally.
    It think it was a the novelty that made it appeal but she almost never
    ate out so that was a one shot deal. The next was when we moved to a new
    house in a new city and the contractor kept telling my mother not to
    worry about dinner he would bring it. We waited and waited and waited
    until the guy finally showed up at about 7 pm with one crummy bucket of chicken. One bucket for a family of 6 including four teenage boys, and
    no sides at all.

    The next was when I was first dating my wife and we got some take out
    KFC and took it to her apartment. It was just entirely unappealing.
    Maybe we weren't feeling great to begin with but it just made us feel
    bad. The last was when we were out on strike in 1995 and one of our
    managers went out and got us strikers a bucket of it. I was ware because
    of my bad experiences and there was no washroom around. I had one small
    piece. I ended up leaving to find a toilet.

    I have an iron stomach. KFC is relatively convenient to where I live.
    My wife gets "original recipe" and I get "extra crispy". We never had
    a problem until covid.
    However, since covid, all fast food drive-throughs, out here, fail in
    one way or another; poorly cooked food, mixed up order, "No hablo", or
    all three at once. We're five years in, and it's not getting better.

    I had a simple, austere, existence growing up. Getting a bucket of KFC

    around the bones. The fall of KFC is pretty much the reason we should
    live it up while we still can. If you can figure out what these pieces
    are, you must have a PHD in Chicken anatomy.

    You say that as if the fall of KFC is a bad thing, a sign of a failing civilisation. I think KFC is a sign of absence of civilisation. If you
    eat food from KFC you're uncivilised and you fail.
