The state of the world today...

 

 

Funny, I almost made a prejudiced anti-american comment before I realized this was happening in the UK.

... Well, I guess I can replace it with a prejudiced anti-UK joke :

 

I guess people are panicking because now they have to actually eat their awful english food instead ?

Yes, the traditional meat and two veg

the real question is - how does this affect The Chicken Connoisseur?

Should go well with some spotted dick for dessert.

Not a mouthful of sausage?  There is no chicken after all!

I'd start with the beans.

"FCK, we're sorry."

 

 

It's almost as good as French Connection UK, FCUK, a clothing company.

I think this is all some clever marketing ploy. Since reading about the closure all I can think is, "mmm, I could go for some KFC." We don't even have KFC in Switzerland! I'll have to go to some KFC-wannabe chippy this evening after multiple drinks!

Doubt it. They've incurred some serious financial losses. That ad is just damage control.

How about Burger King? Their chicken sandwich is almost the same as the one from KFC.

I guess I forgot to include the joke tag.

 

I think there is one burger king in Geneva. If I went there I wouldn't be going for a chicken sandwich!

Call me boring, but I'd take a double bacon cheeseburger. I'm not sure I ever understood the rave about the whopper. That said, I remember having similar feelings towards the Big Mac, then I had one a few years back and went, "huh. Actually that's pretty good" (as far as cheap fast-food goes).

And DHL will be liable for all of those...

KFC....just a box of grease.  Unless it is fresh, normally soggy.  In the states if I am looking for fast food chicken, I normally opt for Churches on the west coast or Boston Market.  Local grocery store here has pretty good friend chicken as well.  There is also a local town place called Country School Chicken that is pretty good.

 

KFC....meh.

I'm all for it, especially if they can cover for franchisees' operational expenses and lost revenue.

 

Don't care much about the franchisor.

Fast food shrimp is normally  .  Culvers in the states has decent shrimp though.  Otherwise, I go to a seafood restaurant if I want shrimp .

Big Mac used to be well, bigger.  Either that, or I am older and bigger and remember it wrong.   I do not eat burgers much these days, prefer chicken, fish, and pork,  but McDs has the Grand Macs again and I had one last night.

Exactly.  I'm still trying to figure out what all the panic is about.  Most KFC restaurants I pass in the states have just the employee cars in the lot.  Rarely is there more than 3-4 customers ever seen.
