I've always expected the the ersatz margarine for the biscuit.
Today I found a little packet of KFC honey. But it's NOT honey.
It's the "Colonel's Honey Sauce".

It comes in a little clear plastic squeeze packet and you cannot read
the label without great difficulty. Under the word "Honey" in 36
point three color type it says "sauce" in red outline 14 point type.
On the back it lists the ingredients: High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar,
Corn Syrup, Honey, Caramel Color.

That's it. No more KFC for this family. I'm gonna google to find the
parent company and dump the whole lot!

Dammit. I really like their coleslaw.

I know my response isn't really about biscuits from KFC, but as a
potential alternative for KFC-anything, (some) grocery stores have
decent fried chicken in their deli sections, maybe biscuits too. For
instance, a local grocery store in my area has "chester's fried
chicken", and it's way ever so much better than any chicken from KFC
(IMNSHO!)! Then it's possible to just the honey one has at home, if
that's prefered -- not to mention real butter, too <G>. Hm, that gives
me an idea for tomorrow's dinner!!!

I'm not sure what you expected... but maybe you should check the ingredients
of the cole slaw, too

When I've travelled I have been tempted by Popeye's. We don't really have
them around where I live. But they remind me of what KFC used to be when as
a kid my grandfather would take us out to one for some really good eats.
Back then that was real family food. Now KFC is about as vile crap as I can
think of.

Find a Popeye's.

Any time the named ingredient is followed or preceded by a modifier,
you _know_ it ain't gonna be pure whatever. Even Juicy Juice which is
"100% real fruit juice" doesn't tell you til you get to the 4-pt type
that it's apple juice and a dozen other bits and sorts of fruit juices
to make ti taste horrible (to an adult, of course).

So?Buy their coleslaw and ignore the rest of the menu.

Spending a fortune telling everyone how good they are and then serving
mediocre industrial food is pretty much the standard procedure for big
box industrial food places. Were you expecting anything else?

Ersatz margarine? Margarine is ersatz butter.

Maybe it was because I was a kid and thought any take out food was a
real treat, but back in the late 50s when I first had Kentucky Fried
Chicken it was pretty good. Within a decade it had gone downhill and
now I won't touch the stuff.

30+ years ago Louise worked in an old chain we had here called
"Chicken Unlimited." One of her duties was making the cole slaw. To
this day she won't eat cole slaw unless we make it. They mixed it
with their hands in big vats not wearing gloves. Nobody cared if they
washed their hands or not.

I haven't had KFC in 30 years. Maybe a half a dozen times prior in my life.
They are overpriced, greasy, garbage quality, high in sat-fat calories,
lazy, fast food.

Makes me wanna puke, just thinking about KFC.

If you eat KFC, you don't belong on r.f.c!

We don't do KFC, either. It's so expensive and so salty. If we want fried
chicken, we either make it at home or get the grocery store brand for just
about the same price that we can make at home.

I have a friend whose ex-fiance' was a manager of a KFC. There's no 11
herbs and spices in the recipe anymore. He claimed they used powdered
buttermilk, flour, salt & pepper. 4 ingredients. That's it.

That is pretty much the way I felt after the last two times I had the
stuff. I clearly remember getting a bucket of it when I was still dating
my wife and was disgusted with it. It was nothing like the stuff I had
had when I was younger and I felt ill after eating it. About ten years
ago I had another piece of it courtesy of someone who had brought some
for lunch........ greasy, horrible stuff. I haven't touched it since.

I hate to tell you it is not just KFC but a number of food
manufacturers are catching on to the fact that most American's don't
pay attention to what they are eating or buying. Please, the next
time you purchase dried herbs or spices, make sure they tell you what
is in them. I recently purchased some Gumbo File and it was cut with
thyme. Yeap, on the ingredients label, instead of saying sassafras
leaves, it said sassafras and thyme. Needless to say I did not
purchase it cause as any tried and true Gumbo maker knows that would
have altered the flavor of the Gumbo. What is the world coming to???

A few weeks ago I stopped at a KFC that is near an
amusement park. This is one busy place. I'll be darned,
the chicken was the way I remembered it years ago.
I was pleasantly surprised.

Regardless, it's my guilty pleasure, once in a blue moon
I have KFC.

We've loved Popeye's since our daughter worked there (her choice, not
ours) the summer she was 16. The quality varies quite a bit between
locations, however. The one 5 miles away is terrific. The closer one
never seems to change its oil lately and you can taste the evidence.
We've stopped patronizing that one.

Check the garbage ? I suspect the cole slaw comes from some large
distributing plant in large plastic pails or bags. They should have
the ingredients listed.

Just wear old clothes and try to look like a dumpster diver. Avoid
locations where you are likely to meet friends and family.

Popeye's is not much better. I love their red beans and rice (which they
claim has won awards), but it is salty beyond belief. The LAST time I
patronized Popeye's, I ordered their collard greens, much to my distress,
literally. Never again.

All the Popeye's around here closed a little over a year ago. Some were

As I see it, the problem with places like KFC is that they start
out with a good product and idea. They are popular in their
locale because of that. Then they start expanding and cutting
corners. They forget why they were popular in the first place.
Eventually, that leads to their demise. (Somewhere along the
line, too, the company may be sold to another entity, and that
entity may do the cost-cutting, etc.)

OK Just to Clarify Something

I'm learning to live with Type II Diabetes. Thanks (really) to a few
folks on rfc, I have become much more aware of the KIND of sugar in
the foods I eat. I am trying to avoid HFCS and corn sweetners for the
little amount of sweet I feel I can handle. I'm trying to stick to

I am a fried chicken common-sewer! About a month ago I was jonesin' for
some but it was late and the grocery stores didn't have any and I was too
tired to do it myself, so I bit the bullet and went to KFC.

That was it for me. I'll never ever go there again. Overpriced nastiness.

It was good when I was a kid in the 70's. Those days are gone.

Maybe you have to go to one in a lower class neighborhood if you get my
drift.

I've never had bad Popeye's chicken. Church's on the other hand...
I'm glad to see them going the way of the buffalo in the Tampa area.

I think the slide started when Pepsico bought the chain.
Before that I remember the product as being much better.
I think that's when they started pushing that extra-breading ...
I mean, extra-crispy stuff. All crispy, no chicken.

If you were compelled to eat KFC every day, then something might be
wrong with you and your lack luster pallette. But....every now and
then it is ok. Just like I don't eat MoonPies and and RC every
day.

There are rats everywhere. Hell, there's 2 living right beside me in a
cage!
