I only tried it once but didn't like the chicken. Odd that. I only tried
Macdonalds once as well and I didn't like that either.

Well I have lived in Germany and in Belgium too (or right on the border) so

True, but polenta was made from other grains (and probably still is).
Of course, boiling grain into mush is hardly cutting-edge
culinary innovation, so I don't think anybody can really claim its
invention. It probably was invented shortly before agriculture,
when people were still gathering grains in the wild.

A little too much grease for this culinary nouveau riche. I'll stick
with just salt, or occasionally a sprinkling of malt vinegar.

Of course, if it's sweet potato fries, a dusting of powdered chipotle
pepper is more than welcome.

That shows you have a functional sense of taste.

There is much better fried chicken than KFC, and better burgers than
McDonald's goes without saying. I recently read some food writer
who said (I paraphrase) that when you want a burger, don't go to
McDonald's, but if you're craving McDonald's, only that will satisfy.

Oh dear I suppose it is what people get used to. I enjoy cooking too
much to be going for ready made and it will never be that stuff. Once in a
blue moon if we are celebrating we will go out to a good restaurant, but if
I ask D if he would like to go out, he always says he prefers my cooking but
will take me if I want to go. Since I like to cook ... it is a very rare
event

Crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside, salty potato. It's a thing
of beauty.

If I knew I was going to die tomorrow, I probably would eat potatoes
every way I can think of today. (Of course, doing that would probably
kill me anyway.)

Can't argue with that one. I love potatoes but since I am now low carbing
....

I have to say though I love my chips (French fries) with just salt and malt
vinegar.

They aren't a place you'd give up a home cooked meal to eat at.
They're *fast* food, not fine dining.

There are many ways to deep-fry a potato, but at the stands I visited,
the basics were universal: Long strips of Bintje potato, sliced on site
to maybe a third-of-an-inch thickness, prefried in beef tallow, then
fried again to order. Served in overflowing cardboard cones wrapped in
paper, eaten with tiny forks and topped with the customer’s choice of at
least a dozen sauces, most mayonnaise-based.

I chose the sauce Andalouse — mayonnaise, tomato paste, peppers — which,
also predictably added a flavor kick (and fat kick, as if that were
necessary).

Really? I ate KFC on 2 occasions over 35 years ago and each time
I suffered the most godawful indigestion. I haven't bothered since.

Somebody's eating that chicken on your island. Well, at least in the part I was in - I never got to go to Scotland. Shocking as it may seem, the KFC density was greater in London that in Honolulu. The times I spotted a KFC was incomprehensible. I thought you guys only ate fishes and mammals.

The thing about McDonald's is that one does not go there to savor the food. We go there because we're damn hungry, don't want to spend a lot of dough, and we need food fast. We lack the time and energy to seek out something even a little better. It fits our immediate requirements for someplace reliable and predictable.

Actually, I'm surprised you've never eaten at a McDonald's before - after all, you live in Scotland. Hee hee.

They are popular everywhere here, but I can't believe I am the only one who
doesn't like it. If you come up to Scotland you will see just the same in
towns and cities.

Hey you don't need to give your excuses to me ... ;-)

I 'have' eaten at a McDonalds (once) and I said so! A friend was passing
through and I said I would make dinner, but he said he didn't have much time
so why didn't we go to McDonalds! We did and I have recounted in the past
what I found there)

Once was enough!

What I meant was that I was surprised that you never went to McDonald's before that one time you did go. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hee hee.

My guess is that McDonald's is favored by parents with young kids and teenagers. It's a restaurant they can go to and not get dirty looks from the other people eating there. Interestingly, elderly people consider it to be a place to meet their friends in the morning. It's how the old folks network.

It certainly is easier to find good fried chicken in Korea.

Here's an overview of fried chicken around the world:

What I'm saying is that you're simply not old enough to do this. When you do reach the proper age, it'll all start to make sense to you.


Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Here, it is teens and young adults who frequent McDonald's. The senior crowd hangs
out at our family restaurants (diners) or supermarket deli sit-down "restaurants."
