Me and dh were really hungry and tired and saw a KFC and bought a bucket special. I like the occasional McDonald's, but the KFC was just not very nice, especially the fries, which were inedible. I so wish I'd not bothered.

I had a variety bucket on Friday and it was bloody lovely.

@SilverySurfer
Are you me?! I found that Lemonade myself recently and have a cupboard full. It's the first lemonade I've found in ages I can drink and thats nice.
I shall boycott KFC now, I get that I can have another drink, but why should I compromise.

I'm not a fan of any chips tbh but I love toasted twisters and hot wings! Mmm...

My DD and nephew love KFC, DN even goes there for his birthday meal.

It's always so quiet at my local I have no idea how they stay afloat, but it has been like that for years. Even at peak times the most cars in front of me in the drive through is 1.

I love the greasy chicken skin on the boned chicken and the gravy and corn on the cob, no new fries or mash when I went last week.

I am always really disappointed when I go for eating all that grease.

I find the niceness is dependant on which branch you go to. I love a KFC! I like the new chips too.

A new mash you say? How have I missed this? We don't go very often but I now really want mash and that gravy. I'm sure they put crack in the at gravy.

Are we talking about the own brand cloudy lemonade with the picnic basket on the front it's absolutely lovely. Also KFC is pretty crappy.

DaisyChains6 · 11/08/2019 17:06

Since they changed suppliers their chicken is very greasy and a strange texture. It's disgusting!

I used to love a fillet burger but the last one I had was inedible, again the chicken burger had a very strange texture and was nothing like it used to be.

If we want a chicken treat now we pay more and go to Nandos.

Ds absolutely loves KFC

He gets rather obsessed about things. A few years ago it was KFC (asking everyone who he had a conversation with if they liked it, what they liked, making mental lists of who liked what, and viewing people suspiciously who didn’t like it or worse had not even tried it). When choosing to do a school project on someone famous who has had an influence he choose Colonel Sanders ... his teacher didn’t seem that surprised Blush I managed to talk him out of it

Though the cloudy is also fabulous.

I am veggie now but also really miss the gravy !!

They are the only fast food place who sell iced tea, I can't abide fizzy drinks and if I'm having junk food I don't just want water, elsewhere I end up with a fruit shoot.....

PumpkinP · 12/08/2019 23:48

Im not impressed with them today, made an order at 10.20 so 40 mins before they shut (haven’t eaten dinner don’t judge me!) was accepted with delivery at 10.50 by that time no order then they changed the time to 11.15, then at 11.15 checked again and my order was cancelled Angry theyve just made me waste an hour so I’m now awaiting my McDonald’s
