KFC's Variety Big Box Meal

[schutd]

I wish I wouldn't have agreed to not rate your posts. I wanted to come in and trounce on that post, but I was way too late.

Obviously Ryan's onto something. I seriously don't intend to come accross holier than thou and arrogant or a-holish. And it hasnt been since I became a "so-called chef," that was over 3 years ago. Its beeen in the past 6 months. Ive read a lot of interesting information and a fantastic book (The Omnivores Dilemma) that talks at length about our nations food supply, various food chains and the price we are paying both from an environmental standpoint as well as a physical standpoint (not to mention the ethical standpoint in terms of treatment of animals which is at the bottom of my concern list when speaking on this subject) for our agriculture business practices in this country, from the government subsidizing of commodity corn to the nightmares that are stockyards, pig pens and chicken coops that operate on a purely business level, no longer an agricultural one...

Anyways, I guess I overestimated to importance of this to people, and I apologize for coming across as too zealous. Im surprised so many people wanted to get all over me about that post. BUT, if you do want to discuss this issue and it is interesting to you, I can certainly try to do so from less of a judgmental standpoint. Just say the word and Ill fire up a thread that talks about the way we eat, and the big business behind feeding this country. Its honestly quite alarming...

I promise to lay off the lambasting of those who indulge in a little of the ole fast food. I do it too. I heart Chipotle and I heart in-n-out burger as well. Ill even eat me some taco bell when Im hammered, just not in New York...

My next adventure will be to try this thing with wedges instead of cole slaw and a bucket of soda.

Start it, there can never be enough food discussion.

Well, round 2 of my large meal eating tour ended today at KFC.

It was suggested by a coworker that we go here for lunch. You get a choice of a drumstick or thigh, (choose drumstick) popcorn chicken, (which was very tasty) a chicken strip, a choice of two sides, (choose french fries instead of wedges because I went to a KFC/A&W location and mashed potatoes and gravy)

I get back to the booth and realize that they did not give me a biscuit. So they decided to give me two.

It was a pretty filling meal, and the two biscuits at the end were hard to eat through. I even thought about going back for one of their 99c snacker sandwiches.

It is not as much food as it looks like.
