Kentucky Fried Chicken
« on: December 25, 2014, 12:32:20 PM »
Obviously, most of you have been asking yourselves "what's next" after the runaway hit thread "LJS."  The answer is the OTHER 3-letter acronym sensation of fried food! KFC!


Quote
One of the world's quirkier holiday traditions is now upon us. Every December 24, thousands and thousands of people in Japan leave the house and head to Kentucky Fried Chicken for the traditional Christmas Eve meal

Yes, that Kentucky Fried Chicken. KFC is so popular in Japan on Christmas Eve that there are often lines stretching down the block outside stores. Some people reserve their KFC "Christmas Party Barrels" up to two months in advance so as not to miss out.

Was trying to find out if they have LJS in Japan and learned that, just like KFC, LJS was founded in Kentucky. Holy crap, Kentucky.

It's on all of us that we didn't fight harder for Louisville over TCU/WVU.

Still, it's understandable how KFC is so beloved world wide.  It's delicious! Chum, let me ask you something personal...are you an original recipe or extra crispy man?  Be honest.

Holy crap.

And there’s romance. Christmas is considered the most romantic day of the year, surpassing Valentine’s Day and a similar celebration a month later known as White Day.

Most nice restaurants are booked well in advance by couples seeking to enjoy a romantic dinner on Christmas Eve. Love hotels, which cater to those who do not need more than a couple of hours’ stay, are usually fully occupied by couples seeking to enjoy some private time.

So lovey-dovey is the date that single adults often find it depressing. One restaurant in Tokyo even bans couples from entering on Christmas Eve in hopes of giving singles a break, though its approach doesn’t seem to have been adopted by its competitors.

I prefer original to extra crispy, but I eat grilled so I don't feel like a slug afterward.

Maybe controversial, but I've never had fried chicken that was definitely better than KFC. I've been to Strouds, Brookeville and others that are supposedly higher quality, but haven't felt they are much better in taste. It's an oddity to me that it's like the one national (International) fast food chain that does what they do as good or better than good mom and pop places.

Side note: I've never been to Chicken Annie's or Chicken Mary's in Pittsburg.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Are we talking fried chicken pieces only or can "fingers" and "nuggets" join the fracas?  Is so, then I have had better chicky fingers and nuggs than KFC.
