    Hi.
    I was quite supprised to learn that most chicken came to the UK, prepared from Brazil.
    Just thawed out & reheated.:eek:
    Excuse me for thinking everything was fresh.:rolleyes:

    I thought it came from thailand.

    That implies that they actually have some taste!

    I find them tasteless but they're OK with a bit of salt and a lot of BBQ sauce or ketchup.

    I've noticed they have stopped salting the fries.

    May be its just me but when I go to McDonalds or BK the food is pretty consistent, it always taste the same, KFC however fries can be under cooked, coke can be flat, burger buns can be stale, burgers can be cold, and 9 times out of 10 they forget something on your order or bugger it up.

    I love that you guys get fries (hehehe chips) with Chinese food, when a friend told me that, I was like really? She said ohh yeah chips come with everything.

    We call the fries too you know when you go to a fast food restaurant LOL! Chips are much thicker and shaped like fries. You have Chips with Fish. It's our national dish LOL! I have never met anyone that has Chips with Chinese food! :eek:

    When they come from a Chinese restaurant they tend to be chips not fries, they are disgusting in my opinion too :)

    Yes at KFC mostly but at BK aswell.
    Least at McDonalds they are the most consistent.

    The chicken is from the UK. There is no doubt on that issue.

    Yeah I love chips and gravy from the Chinese, maybe a chicken ball or two as well on top, perfect after a night on the beers

    i must say i think they need to back off on the mountains of fry's they generously give you! the fork/spoon combo struggles to stab and hold one of the many many fries i had to choose from ! next is the mini corn on the cob.is there a course you need to go on to get the thing open ? lastly the menu has got enormous and hard to know what's what with all the daft names.takes longer to read it and make a choice than to eat it. trying too hard kentucky.see you in 6 months maybe.rant over :(

    They have Chicken. You know what else they got, they got chicken.

    Thats why I buy the gravy when I get a KFC apart from I like the gravy it saves having to get lots of sauce sachets as well although none of the KFCs I have gone to have ever charged me for them.

    I don't think chips with a chinese is that out there either although its not my personal first choice I have had it on occasion but not everyone likes rice or noodles my mum didn't but she liked other things from the chinese so she would get whatever she wanted and have chips with it. I wouldn't order chips and rice together though and asides my old chinese did the best chips even better than the local chippies were.

    Back on topic I still don't get the complaint about too much value for money when the usual complaint is not enough value for money.

    I really like the chicken and the gravy but it always disappoints me when the chicken is mostly those wing things. They're the most rubbish peices of chicken ever.

    We called into KFC today when out and about, with that heat we weren't overly hungry just wanted something small and cheap to take the edge of hunger.

    For me, mrs and 3 kids we ordered.

    2 x Large Popcorn chicken
    1 x Large Coke
    1 x Snackbox
    1 x Kiddies meal
    2 x Fruit shoots

    How much did it cost? £17.50, I said that can't be right can it, they check it again yes it was right.

    We had went to McDonalds a few weeks back and had a nephew with us, for 2 Big Mac meals and 4 kiddies meals it came to £18, I mean today we didn't even have meals, £17.50 for what is essentially processed crap.

    Home now and am hungry.

    You are better off ordering the buckets and a bottle of drink.

    I know fast food chains are handy but if you're going to order that much you can usually get one of the meal deals from a local takeaway for £10-£12.
