Rant: KFC in Canada
- Thread starter stinkynuts
- Start date
KFC stores in N. America are vanishing slowly, soon there will none. KFC is expanding in China faster than they are closing locations here. Are they now owned by Yum foods headquartered in China? They are still a niche player, occasionally I eat there, used to be more frequently difficult now since at least five KFCs have closed in the vicinity of my frequent travels. Usual KFC is satisfying but sometimes inexplicably nauseating.
i've been a couple of times and it's the same quality as vancouver. it's unfortunate all the old church's chicken places in toronto closed up.
church's is way better than kfc imo.
I cruise a lot in Caribbean. ... every island has a Kfc....lol... every one is better than Canadian Kfc.... they use real chickens, not 6 week old chemically enhanced chickens....here in Canada..?
KFC in the States is nothing like the original KFC. The YS KFC's use growth hormone pumped up genetically modified chickens that grow big fast and have NO chicken flavor, in fact, have a disgusting sinewish texture. Canadian KFC still uses meat that is recognizable as chicken. I don't care what spices you put on it, when you start with crap meat you get a crap product.
Same way Coke in the US is a crap product, unless you find a convenience store that sells Coke imported grin mexico. Hilariously that symbol of Americanism is worse in the US than anywhere else because of the low quality corn syrup they use to get the price down.

yeah I agree KFC doesn't taste nearly as good as I remember it from +5 years ago. KFC - Kentucky Fried Crap is a ripoff, pricey, small pieces, real grease pit, what herbs and spices?. I go and buy the roast chickens at your grocery chain stores.
I just discovered that sole surviving Church's the other day. I plan on a visit in the New Year. Still remember the TV commercials "Church's fried chicken promenade"
First time I ever heard of okra much less tried it.
KFC in Toronto was very good, but since I found Chick'n Joy here in Scarborough I have not had KFC for a long time. Wife occasionally gets a craving for it though.
I had KFC in the US a couple of times, always thought Canadian version was better ... of course this was back in, last time, early eighties.
Found that to me, McD's Canada to be better also. Most recent McD's US I tried was 2004.
It always surprised me that McDonald's US never had pizza. Poutine also only in Canada.
lol friends went to McD's Buffalo(90s) and the girl behind the counter said 'Sir this is McDonald's we do not have pizza.' We never though to look at the menu.
Nope not salt, secret ingredient is msg.. shhhhh.
same reason you soooo thirsty after eating chinese.
Same reason why it taste so different in each country. Apparently every country has a certain level of msg allowed... someone told me that this so don't ask me for proof.
I was in China a few years ago and was amazed by the number of KFC restaurants. I believe Yum is a subsidiary of Pepsico?
I no longer eat KFC because I believe I read somewhere that it's the worst fast food health-wise.

MSG is also a salt.
Regular table salt is NaCl = sodium chloride
MSG = Mono Sodium Glutamine
Key word is sodium.
Oh, and I don't think I've been to a KFC in 5 years, though Poppys (which is also not that great) I have been to (not my call).
I will stick to Swiss Chalet.

Those pricks have gotten more expensive now and give you less, have you noticed that with their fries especially?
Before, for take-out, they would give you one big silver dish like container loaded to the brim with fries.
Now they give you a piece of plastic with sectioned off areas for the bun, the fries and the chicken. They barely put enough fries inside the damn thing.
The quarter chicken and half chicken pieces aren't all that huge to begin with from before, but now the prices have gone up (which I understand) but come on, cheapening out on the fries???
They could at least give you more to make it look like you're getting a lot of food - in regards to the fries.
That's the best part for me, they have great fries and that sauce. Although, I should say, their fries do seem to be very wet, or too greased up? A little less and it'd be perfect, but they're still good, nonetheless.
