I've added it to my "books to order" file next time I place an Amazon book order. I like to order enough to get the free shipping option. I normally just use white pepper, garlic powder and onion powder on fried chicken. I'll probably add MSG to that now. <g> -- Peace!

One has to merely taste the original recipe chicken to see that it doesn't contain much, if any, herb flavor components. I always thought there was an odd taste that reminds me of Vienna sausages in KFC. Perhaps it contains ground Vienna sausages - or garlic powder? Salt, pepper, and MSG is pretty much what I use when making fried chicken. I make a great fried chicken - it's one of the few dishes that I excel at. Sometimes I'll use some dehydrated garlic or paprika (for color) if I'm feeling a little kicky. Oddly enough, for a lot of Japanese folks, Christmas just ain't Christmas without a traditional KFC dinner. I ain't making this up! :-) |

The stores will have sales on pork, masa and lard, along with their sales for turkey, sweet potatoes and cranberries. In Hawaii, has KFC become a Christmas tradition for the islands as well as for the Japanese? Becca |

I ain't making this up! :-) My childhood memories of KFC are different from todays taste which may simply be age of tastebuds but I thought it used to be fried in hog lard and that will add a (good) flavor by itself. Don't know what the fry in now, anyone know? It used to have a mushroomy taste to me as a youngster as I compared it to batter dipped and deep fries mushrooms we used to get. -- regards, mike piedmont, The Practical BBQ'r http://sites.google.com/site/thepracticalbbqr/ (mawil55) |

I first had KFC as a kid in the 50s and I loved the stuff. Maybe it was the novelty. It was pretty good through the 60s. In the early 70s it was disappointing. The last time I had it was about 10 years ago and it was downright disgusting. |

I think it's more probable that after the Good Colonel sold the US business and moved himself to Ontario the original purchasers of Kentucky Fried changed the recipes themselves to create lower food costs. Colonel Sanders himself was quite convinced of this and very angry, to the point of ultimately unsuccessful lawsuits: (From Wikipedia's article on Harlan Sanders:) "Sanders sold the Kentucky Fried Chicken corporation in 1964 for $2 million to a partnership of Kentucky businessmen headed by John Y. Brown, Jr. The deal did not include the Canadian operations. Sanders moved to Ontario and continued to collect franchise fees. Sanders continued on with Kentucky Fried Chicken as its spokesperson and collected appearance fees for his visits to franchises in the United States and Canada. In 1973, he sued Heublein Inc. (the KFC parent company at the time) over alleged misuse of his image in promoting products he had not helped develop. In 1975, Heublein Inc. unsuccessfully sued Sanders for libel after he publicly referred to their gravy as "sludge" with a "wallpaper taste"." pavane |

Tamales is one of those foods that is made in large quantities to be passed out to family and friends. They like to make a day out of it, don't they? I have been on the receiving end of these tamales and I sure wish I had more friends that passed these out. More common here is pateles, which is a lot like tamales except instead of using masa paste, green banana paste is used. The common filling is pork as in tamales. Instead of corn husks, we'll use banana leaves or aluminum foil for the wraps. > > In Hawaii, has KFC become a Christmas tradition for the islands as well > as for the Japanese?

Dad coming home with a bucket of KFC was sure a welcome sight! Back then, it was cheap and tasty, nowdays it's kinda pricey and just so-so.

Fast food when I was a kid all seemed better than it does now. Part may be my palate has matured but it's all gone downhill too. Arby's used to be a treat we'd love to enjoy. Even mCshittes was edible. Around 1980 I went to Taco Bell all the time. Now I find it revolting mush. The secret herb and spice mix may produce good chicken but not at KFC. Lou |

The first time I tried KFC, I was with my grandparents and it was 1970, so I never tasted the original KFC recipe. I had chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, cole slaw and a roll. The chicken and the cole slaw was fine, but everything else was just terrible. Their mashed potatoes and gravy tasted worse than you would get in a 1970's frozen TV dinner. Thankfully, KFC has improved and so have frozen entrees. Becca |

It was awful by the time they changed the name. Makes me glad they aren't dragging the real name in the mud anymore. I've always liked their cole slaw and (yes) even their mashed potatoes and fake gravy... but the chicken? No. Gobs of crunchy grease with more dripping down your arm. Can't stand it. Church's chicken was so much better. I don't know the back story, but McDonald's was built on that site after a few years. -- I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food. |

The produce section sometimes makes me feel the same way... We take SO much for granted in our modern world! It's why gardening programs for children are so important. It helps them to understand their "roots". (pun intended). Too many people are so very ignorant and I hate to see them stay that way. My baby sister grows a few plants in pots on her windowsill and my nephews are fascinated by the little pepper plant I bought her. She also has fresh herbs, a potato and a tomato plant. -- Peace!
