I much prefer the ghetto fried chicken places near my friend’s apartments in Brooklyn or Harlem. Well, when I’m not feeling out of place for being the big white guy. (not that that stops me from going there. Or restaurants where the entire menu’s in Mandarin)

Back in the ’80s, a guy named William Poundstone wrote a book called “Big Secrets,” which shed light on, well, big secrets. He claimed to have run an analysis on KFC breading and said it was … salt, pepper, and MSG (at least as I remember)–no herbs or spices found.

The box idea is dumb, they should just keep everything in the massive bucket. that way you can just puke into the bucket when you are sick from consuming the fat/chemical/salt combo and throw the whole thing in the trash outside for the birds/squirrels to consume (if they even dare…).

liz – You were?! You must be taking some amazing shrooms.

Clevegal42 – I should have known. The corn on the cob is probably dipped in lard for extra flavor.

Neil – That’s probably an accurate description, though I’m not sure “KFC’s Heart Killer Meal” sounds all that appealing. Even though it kind of does to me, now that I think about it.

Pomai – That would be amazing. It would be like one of those musical Christmas cards, where opening the box would produce a tinny Zeppelin riff that keeps repeating while you eat.

Natalie – I always thought that the chicken strips were kind of a rip off, you’re basically paying them extra to rip the pieces off of a chicken breast for you. But then that just might be my mind outthinking itself.

Suzanne – (Ace/Marvo, happens all the time) I love KFC gravy, even though it’s processed to holy hell. I wish I was joking, but I used to take bits of chicken and skin, mix them in with the leftover gravy, and eat it like stew.

NobleArc – What does a lazy Canadian eat when you have a fried chicken jonesin’? Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a kid on Degrassi eat fried chicken(I base all of my knowledge of Canada on that show).

Chuck – I take a lot of things for the team, you can pretty much say that I’m the tackle dummy of internet food bloggers.

Rick – I went to go see the Clippers last year because my friend gave me a ticket he couldn’t sell. We aren’t friends anymore.

Heidi – I gained an immunity of MSG from growing up in an Asian household, it’s been very useful for my blogging career thus far.

ratbuddy – If they’re going to do that, they might as well push cream of mushroom on it and a stack of fried onions. I’d probably order it then.

Sharon – I have a Popeyes near my school which I consider my home away from home. It is certainly my favorite fried chicken chain(I now love broasted chicken as well), but KFC has so many more locations that I have to settle sometimes.

That said, I am now living in Anchorage so KFC might be my only place selling fried chicken so I may have to hit it up.

This is like the modern take on Sesame Street’s “One of these things are not like the other, common’, can you tell me which one?”. lol

What Guitar Hero even remotely has to do with KFC (or fried chicken to be specific) beyond rockers with bad diets and/or corporate marketing-gone-desperate is beyond me.

All I know is, as soon as I take the first bite into whatever’s in that box, my stereo better be blastin’ somethin’ like ZZ Top’s La Grange.

But still tasty.
