I love me some KFC... Can't wait til it comes to Galway

Bonzodog · 14-09-2009 04:15PM

I thought it was....maybe I'm wrong. I also thought that Pizza Hut was going to up here in Ballybrit in the Dunnes complex. There is definitely planning going through for a drive through Fast Food joint there, so maybe KFC are locating a drive-thru there?

I hope so.

What's the deal with KFC being allowed get away with not revealing their full ingredients? Highly-addictive, E-number-laden, MSG-loaded, carcinogenic muck!

Bon appetit!

You know E numbers aren't necessarily bad :rolleyes:, that's a myth, for example E300 is vitamin C and E162 is just beetroot juice!

Redhairedguy · 14-09-2009 04:49PM

Plus if you're walking into KFC or any other fast food restaurant, you are hardly expecting a nutritious, well balanced meal... Mmmm... Deep fried goodness...

Ok, thanks. :rolleyes:
I've read that 'not all e-numbers are bad for you'. That's a long way from 'all e-numbers are harmless'.

They can still shove their 'secret recipe'.

Pretty sure I read that this got declined on the grounds that they don't know what's happening with the roading/outer by-pass yet.

No, that was Phase 2, which was a major extension. The drive thru was approved at the beginning o the year. Don't recall if it was announced that it was KFC(going in, but they were interested for sure.

Is KFC popular in Nigeria et al?

I wouldn't have expected Africans to be any more well-disposed towards America's attempts at world-domination of food brands than Irish people are.

black people love fried chicken. Didn't you know? It's hilarious, like saying Irish people are all drunks.

Then again, who DOESN'T like fried chicken? (besides vegetarians, vegans & hippies)

Carcinogenic?

Fried food is carcinogenic - that lovely browning? Oh Yeah. But even toast has the PAHs that make fried food carcinogenic. Being overweight makes you prone to cancer as well and duh, KFC is pretty good at makin fatties.

But you know what? Nobody here is suggesting that eating dinner from the chipper every day is like, the world's best idea. And frankly, the people that are stupid enough to think that... the world is better off without. Natural selection, baby.

MSG is a bunch of crazy unscientific crap. It's absolutely harmless. Some people claim to be sensitive to it, but for most people it's no different than getting sodium from table salt (basically it should be taken in moderation)

Addictive? **** guys. It's not like it has crack in it. Self control. Granted, I'm being pretty hypocritical on this point since a packet of ginger nut biscuits to me is like a flame to a moth, but there's nothing truly addictive about it. That's just a phrase people who have no self control (like me) like to bandy about to feel better about the fact that we can't walk past our food nemesis without grabbing it and scarfing it down.

E-numbers? More reactionary hippy mumbo jumbo that's been picked up by the media and overblown and now smarties are pastel. ****ing hippies. E numbers aren't the problem, processed food is the problem. Takes all the nutrition out of it, adds too much sugar and salt. E-numbers are nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I cook most (as in, 85%) of the food I eat from scratch. I eat fairly healthily, 34 cent ginger nut biscuit sleeve obsession notwithstanding. Two meatless days a week, lots of oily fish and very little fried food. In fact, I can't even tolerate too much fried food because my stomach isn't used to it and so I get terrible gas which is oh so very attractive. Anyway, my point is, KFC isn't the problem. The problem is people. And there's been plenty of chippers and packaged food around anyway, if people want to slowly waddle themselves into an oversized casket they'll be doing it whether the american chicken kaiser colonel arrives or not.
