True, but they serve those nugget things (which are "what's for lunch"
today at my son's elementary school), and turkey nuggets would be just
as easy to fry.
My objection to turkey legs is those tendons. Plus, I don't like them
anywhere near as well as chicken legs, which I adore.

I think I'll go by Popeye's today. Their "spicy" is pretty good.

i'll tell you what i like at KFC - those mash potato bowls....$4.99
and that includes a medium soft drink


they have the mash potatoes...and they have the gravy...and they have

i don't normally like KFC because i don't think their chicken is

No one can argue with your taste and likes and dislikes, but just in
case there is some reader out there who might be thinking of trying
this on your recommendation, I'd like to point out that:

* the mashed potatoes are reconstituted from dehydrated flakes,
not mashed from real potatoes.
* the gravy is from a powdered mix, flavored mostly with salt
and msg.
* the half ear of corn was boiled to death hours ago and kept
hot under a lamp.
* the cheese-type foods are unidentifiable.
* the chicken nuggets are reformed and compressed together from
scraps, fragments and flakes, not cut from any known part of the
chicken.

Full disclosu about twice a year I get an order of 'chicken only,
original recipe' as a guilty pleasure, even though the original
mixture of spices is long gone. Never touch any of those awful side
dishes. -aem

John's a lot worse on alt.punk. He's actually a VERY old friend.
Known him for more than 2/3 of my life. The stl groups are tiny
(stl.dining has 14 members). There is some "culinary action" here,
but often I just **** people off by pointing out their culinary
shortcomings. John is a defender of jarred mayo.

I too go there about once a year but last year I walked in and when I
saw that almost every customer there weighed in excess of 300 pounds I
walked out never to return again.

These are what I don't get about KFC, people say how much
they like the mashed potatoes and gravy. Every time I try it
I just wonder Why.

Same here, original recipe bucket or box of chicken. There is no
KFC near my house any more, I wonder how far I have to
go to find one.

As I recall, the cole slaw had and appeal of its own.

Everything you just said. Their sides are awful.
Church's sides are just as bad. Popeye's, on the other hand, has some
decent* sides.

I like the Orig rec chicken too, but it's awfully expensive, and
sickeningly greasy. The ex crispy is flavorless.

I can't stomach the mashed spuds, chicken or cole slaw slaw from KFC. I
do prefer the cole slaw and chicken from Chicken Delight a different
chain. Perhaps there is a popeyes or some other chain you would like
better than KFC in your area.

It is that the food coloured ground slaw and the instant mashed spuds
turn me off. Plus the lack of flavour in their chicken has turned me off
KFC. The 'Irish Spring' green of their slaw I find truly disgusting.

Chicken Delight uses shredded veggies and a oil based dressing in their
slaw.You can actually see some carrot shreds. And they use a little
garlic seasoning in their chicken batter.

I can forgive them on the instant mashed spuds, because I prefer fries
with my fried chicken so it affects me not.


But nobody has touched upon the gastly thing KFC calls chicken gravy. A
must for me ...my Chicken Delight gravy goes on my Chicken Delight fries.

When I'm in Chicago, I eat at taquerias every day. Jeez, great
burritos are everywhere, except the North Shore (the one consolation
there is that you have the privilege of waiting overlong to get
breakfast at Walker Bros). I wish we'd get a few of those mom&pop

people are funny...

today there were these two really huge women in the cafeteria, and one
walked past the steam tables and was complaining to her friend, "they got
too many vegetables".

I saw them at their table later, and they had chicken nuggets, chili, lots
and lots of packs of saltines, a big chocochip cookie, and one lady had
both one of those giant 3 serving Arizona Iced Teas in a can, AND a
"fountain drink".

Well, as long as greggy is gonna cross-post:
1. Don't any of you people eat at Brown's Chicken? Or did they go out
of business?
2. The last time I had good chicken from KFC was in 1967, in Canada.
It was not as yet called Poulet Frit de Kentucky.
3. KFC sides have been nasty reconstituted shit since at least 1970
4. Popeye's spicy is decent except when it isn't.

I mean registered to read through Google. Yeah, I know...but that

proportion of people who register on GoogleGroups is fairly similar
for most NGs. Heck, I'm the #1 all time poster there, with only 199

Put another way, I think there are (x-posts excepted) only about 15-20

In fact, I've made bowls with Thanksgiving leftovers. I skip the cheese
though, and add some peas. Mashed potatoes, with a layer of gravy, some
chunks of turkey meat, and vegetables is really not bad.

Is "really not bad" a good standard? I'm not saying the leftover bowl
sounds unappetizing, but "not bad" is not a compliment.

My ISP got bought out, and let their news server go defunct. We can't
practically change because my wife's website is hosted there, and
people all over the world have it bookmarked. When I talked to them a

I hear ya, Bryan. I left Chicago and the working world more than 2 years ago
and settled in southern TN. Although I have discovered a whole new sea of
foods and cooking styles, I miss real mexican food and the abundance of it.

Voicing that, *quite* a while back at a cookout here, some friends
individually took me to a couple of mexican restaurants within a day driving
distance. They were owned by mexicans, mexicans did the cooking, but the
food was totally toned down until it was one step above Taco Bell.

I tried to be as gracious as possible to my hosts, but I really wished I

I saw that on the menu board the last time I was at a KFC, and
the first thing that came to mind was that it's an American
version of poutine; a treat for the tastebuds, but hard on the

I bet it's a hit with the stoner demographic...

Sounds like Applebee's in Antioch, CA.

That being said, I'm going to stick my neck out and sing the
praises of Applebee's as a chain. They're dependable, they're
available, they offer good service and a selection of palatable
food, and they have a full bar. They aren't as quasi-hip as
T.G.I. Friday's, but they'll certainly do in a pinch.

That's the way almost every place is here. Most St. Louisans wouldn't
know real taqueria Mexican food if it hit them over the head.

In Memphis, you can get the real stuff. Taqueria Guadalajara.
A taco there is a taco. Two 6" soft corn tortillas topped with asada,
onions and cilantro (I always say, "No cilantro").

I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. There's also a
taqueria inside a mercado on Getwell (TN-176) just a few blocks south
of I-240, on the west side of the street that was also excellent.

The Brooks Museum is also quite nice. It's no Art Institute, but for
its size it's a real gem.

Actually, there are some brands of instant mashed potatoes (hazy
here..betty crocker potato buds?) from which you can crank out
a accptable batch of mashed. The "just add water" ones taste as
bad as KFC, but the ones where you add your non-dried dairy (butter,
milk) are fine by me, especially if you add your own finely chopped
green onion and roasted garlic...

Boston Market's mashed are OK to, gravy good there too...they have
corn...buy your own cheese/bowl and make your own?

I haven't looked at it in years. It used to have a low-level, but
steady, participation. Then some time back it seemed to just become
moribund. stl.general had become just political arguing, and really

The cole slaw is terrific, and that's about the only thing I buy at
KFC. The help is unkempt and looks dirty, and so are the outlets,
around here at least.

As for Applebee's, aren't they the ones who have Weight Watcher points
on some of their menu items? If so, we really like the franchise
here, although we don't indulge often.

Like any other chain, the quality of the shop depends on the quality
of the franchisee.

is it me, or is everything at Boston Market way way way over-salted. I
find the creamed spinach to be completely inedible, for example, for the
saltiness of it.

I only go through the drive-in. Never thought to go inside.

Yes, last time I went to Applebee's I ordered a portobello/chicken
sandwich and was reminded loudly that it was the Weight Watcher's
Chicken and Portobello sandwich. It was tasty. No complaints.

From what other people have said, Applebee's must vary much more
than I would have thought. The two I've been to offer decent food,
no complaints from me.

taqueria inside a mercado on Getwell (TN-176) just a few blocks south
of I-240, on the west side of the street that was also excellent.

The Brooks Museum is also quite nice. It's no Art Institute, but for
its size it's a real gem.


Man, I appreciate that, Bryan. I see it's on Winchester, so easy to get to
and don't have to lock the doors.

Have to drag my narrow ass away from Blues City Cafe next time and do that.
though I do love the catfish sandwiches and ribs over there.

I'm gonna ping you in stl.general soon so we can get off the cross-post.

Gosh, poor peteinchicago.

Really, I don't know how you can look at those mashed potato bowls.
Gravy on corn? Ick. Corn mixed in anything: ick. Corn on chicken?
Ick. Are you getting the idea here?

Yes, I know everything's mixed up once it's inside your tummy, but
that doesn't mean I want all the flavors mixed up to begin with. The
concept is totally unappetizing to me.
