Anyone else see this on the BBC the other night?

I always wondered why their gravy was so nice, but I'm kinda put off it now. I'm surprised KFC haven't changed the recipe before now.

Their gravy is like a new borns calfs scour.

Haven't tried that myself.

That is truly disguising

Vile stuff. I don't know how anybody could think it appetising.

Why is there another way to make stock and Gravy ? That's industrialised, But the principle is the same. Stock from bones, Gravy from stock and other items like skin left ever meat.

Never was a big fan of gravy.

My one experience with KFC involved a delayed flight, no where else open, and a need to eat. Absolutely foul and inedible stuff, even by the shockingly low standards set by other fast food chains. How places like that manage to establish a presence all over the world shows how little people think about the food they eat.

Un Croissant · 27-03-2015 07:55PM

The gravy really is ****ing rank. BBQ beans are where it's at.

Drumstick smothered in grease is gorgeous. Should open the taste buds Angus

I wouldn't mind if it was made from the chicken carcass when they're prepping the portions. But this is effectively sludge scraped from the bottom of the fryer, after being heated and reheated god knows how many times.

KFC is the worst of the worst when it comes to takeaway food. Just awful, awful stuff and their places are always understaffed.

Nope, I would say from 1 day and it's prepared at the end of the shift for the next day I assume due to health and safety and all that. Yes does not look the best, But a lot of stuff that's nice looks rank.

Cr@p, cheap and overrated.

Fowl. Opportunity missed there.

Reiketsu · 27-03-2015 08:11PM

I want a boneless banquet with gravy now.

Aongus Von Bismarck · 27-03-2015 08:14PM

A really good gravy should be a rich and decedant treat to compliment good meat. Not something you dip the most gross pieces of 'chicken' into at a plastic table, before shoving the remains into a bin. It's dreadful stuff and really bad value.

We are talking about processed food here. Don't ask what mechanically recovered meat means for example in food terms....

They put lsd into it I hear

mad muffin · 27-03-2015 08:29PM

*came here to read the, how shît kfc and fast food in general is. Was not disappointed*

fergus1001 · 27-03-2015 08:31PM

I rate KFC below every other fast food outlet their food is absolutly sickeningly bad

humberklog · 27-03-2015 08:36PM

I only go when I feel a little bunged up in the bomb bay. A 15 minute walk to KFC- snack box, gravy and a drink.

Q's are always bad even when the place is empty but one (me), eventually receive food, sometimes even with eye contact. Sit and take 2 bites and realise how the thought of KFC and the reality of KFC are very different.

Half finish food, fries left 'til last of course, slurp away the taste with god sweet pop.

A brief walk in the shops and then a 15 minute walk home and good as gold, I'll be dropping the kids off at the pool as soon as I'm in the door.

About once every 3 months. Regular enough.

KFC is not a ****ing patch on Hillbilly's in so many dimensions, especially their gravy!

Duckworth_Luas · 27-03-2015 08:46PM

Do they still make their chips out of soap?

Un Croissant · 27-03-2015 09:43PM

KFC is the worst. You hear that guys? The worst.

Am I cool yet?
