tonyh29 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 1 hour ago, Stevo985 said: Do you think anyone would actually eat KFC if the reason they had to change the name was they were breeding mutant chickens, so different to real chickens that they weren't legally allowed to call them chickens?! KFC claim they changed the name to get rid of the word "Fried" to make it sound healthier. The real reason, I've heard, is that the state of Kentucky was broke so they trademarked the name. Which meant to keep it KFC would have had to pay a shitload of money. So they took the word out of their name. That might be a myth too, but it's a lot more believable than the mutant chickens It is another myth they are still called Kentucky Fried Chicken and they still own the Trademark etc ... it was partly as people already called them KFC and partly as they wanted to get away from the perception that they only sold chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remmeber when I heard/read it they said the same thing had happened to the Kentucky Derby. But I know Kentucky Derby is still called the Kentucky Derby so that pointed towards it being false.

Instead, go to BK and get a bacon double XL with cheese and bask in its glory. Now you're talking.. accompanied by a large fries and a coke. I rate this over McDonalds tasteless shite. KFC... I don't mind a bucket now and again but I always leave it on a plate first as it just swims in grase if left in the bucket too long otherwise.

sharkyvilla Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 We don't have a McDonalds or Burger King where I live. Must be one of the biggest towns not to have either (about 60k). Got a KFC though, I do love a Zinger Tower every now and then and always thought the chicken was pretty decent quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've shrank the size of the regular burger, the XL one is simply the size of the regular one 10-15 years ago. Also, Burger King used to have the best chips out of the lot, but they changed the recipe and they are now awful. Burger King is just a massively overpriced bag of shit these days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The burger is twice the size, with as many toppings as you want and infinitely better quality. A small chips could feed 3 full size blokes, compared to the 6 fries you get in a large portion of maccies and a massive choice of pop. its absolutely worth it compared to the rest.

For me it is a occasional treat very overpriced but its better quality than mcds and BK 36 minutes ago, Dr_Pangloss said: Yeah, good, but overpriced. >£10 for a burger and chips, they need to get real.

Who could eat all that? Who would want to? Give me a regular burger and chips combo in the £8-12 range and I'm happy - portion size that is happily unamerican without breaking the bank. If I'm paying c£30 for a meal for two, at the very least we're sitting somewhere nice. The five guys restaurants I see always seem so plasticy on the inside.

Genie Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I went to Nando’s once and failed to see the appeal. It was twice the price of KFC and half as nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Five Guys is middle of the road IMO. I’d put it in a similar category to GBK or Byron. The best burger I’ve eaten is from Bleeker Street (not sure whether they have a branch in Birmingham). If you’re ever in London then definitely try their burgers. **** unreal.
