On that subject though... about a decade ago I was in the US and they were serving "Grand Macs" or similar in their McDonald's restaurants.  I thought to myself that when those come to the UK, that'll be the sign of the times where we become truly American in appetites.  Well, McD's are now selling Grand Macs.

The number one story in Essex and Suffolk according to the East Anglian Daily Times (not a spoof site, I promise).

 

About 3 or 4 years ago i was visiting family in Lowestoft and called in the KFC for a meal near Lowestoft sea front. It was that bad i couldn't eat it all and i really thought i was going to throw up.

If the Rugby World Cup has taught us anything ( and I very much think it has), it is that KFC is the place to go for chips'n'gravy at an unbeatable price, not this "chicken" of which you speak.

You have to question how and where so much chicken can be produced for the likes of KFC and Nandos. However, if you had a video of the process of producing the chicken playing on loop outside a every KFC and Nandos people would still go in.

We started buying our Chicken from a farm shop, it’s a bit more expensive than a supermarket but we just eat less meat based meals.

Chicken salt is also extremely popular on chips in Australia.

Has anyone thought of vinegar-infused salt?

I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel"

Yes - here's a recipe: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/salt-vinegar-seasoning

You can also buy it ready-made.

First week of a new suppliers contract.  Shows the dangers of thinking the grass is greener (and cheaper?) over the fence.

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

This closed the KFC in Bexhill.

Gingeron, head up Bohemia Road, Joe-Joes is much better.

I don't doubt it.

At nearly every single fish and chip shop in Australia you will be asked what type of salt you want on your chips “chicken or plain?”

Some fast food chains also use chicken salt as their default salt.

It’s so delicious and pervasive it’s hard to believe it is so rare outside of Australia and (I think) NZ.
