The **Now Eating** Thread

I find KFC to salty in general these days, certainly not as nice as it used to be

You’ve probably got an intolerance to MSG.

I can go for a chinese and eat a lot but not feel the same way and that is laced with the stuff. The only thing I can think of is the oil KFC uses

It depends how much MSG that particular Chinese uses. KFC is the same across the board as it’s premixed into the coating. Do you have IBS at all?

True, sometimes I rewatch the 80’s ads on YouTube with the colonel and the red and white striped boxes. It brings back a pang of nostalgia as the chicken was so much better back then.

No I haven't got that, I just think I find the oil that they use doesn't go down well. I use to like a KFC every now and then but the cramps it gives me nowadays is just explosive (in every sense of the word). I can eat a chinese and feel fine though.

I haven't had KFC for yonks, never really been that into them (not bad, though). I seem to recall Wimpy being a regular choice of the family when I was a lad.

Dang it, walking into a food thread when you're hungry is never a good thing.

 

[robfosters]

Haven’t had a wimpy for years. I think they’re too expensive. A lot more money than McDonald’s, for not much more quality.

I didn't realise they were still around, I thought they went bust.

We’ve got loads round here. They’re much more popular in the south east I think.

There's only two within 40 miles of me and two places I don't really want to go, Brean and Porthcawl.

That looks absolutely delicious. Would love a slice that with some new potatoes, green salad and a glass of chilled white wine.

Just gone through Coconut, Chicken and sweetcorn soup. Damn tasty, but not quite enough but don't want to snack if I can help it

 

[MikeTheNative]

Soup isn't a meal, it's a starter.

Normally I'd agree but I've just had 4 peoples worth apparently haha

Cheers, super simple and good for using up bits and pieces.

This one has:
1 medium potato
2 cloves garlic
2 stalks cavolo nero
Half a white onion
Handful of peas
Half a courgette
1/4 red bell pepper
4 or 5 mushrooms
1 slice ham and 1.5oz grated cheddar
8 eggs
200ml milk

Chinese buffet. I know the score with these places and go for the most expensive, less filling foods. Got through 9 plates (packed) so I won. Money well done.

And no stomach cramps

Everyone’s a winner!

Well, like i said, that is fine for me. KFC just kills me

The last double down I had was missing bacon, I couldn't be bothed to say anything but was annoyed as I wasn't informed when making my order, I can only assume this was because the KFC branch in question is in an area with a high muslim population. (I haven't been back since, principle and all that)
