So, do you like KFC? All the health problems aside do you like the food? the taste of it?

My parents just bought some KFc and its been like ages since I had some KFC.

No, KFC is low quality peasant food. Where's my fuckin' caviar?

No if I wanted to eat a pigeon I'd kill it myself.

Fried chicken is the food of the gods.

They are displeased with KFC for doing it wrong.

My parents

Ohhhhh this explains SO much.

No, KFC is low quality peasant food. Where's my fuckin' caviar?

Doesn't caviare taste spectacularly bad? (An acquired taste sort of food?)

Ohhhhh this explains SO much.

You didn't actually expect him to be in the 13-16 range?

Ohhhhh this explains SO much.

Well I can be bothered to go to KFC, to much effort for the quality of food you get.

McDonald's is way better.

You didn't actually expect him to be in the 13-16 range?

So what happens if I'm not?

You didn't actually expect him to be in the 13-16 range?

I find most stupid teenagers to be in the "I'm a libertarian!" phase. The "I'm a racist!' period I find doesn't really begin until the early 20s.

So what happens if I'm not?

Then the educational system in your country has deeply, deeply failed you. If you were young you'd have an excuse.

McDonald's is way better.

The McDonalds I've had, regardless of location is always massively disappointing. And If you've ever let the cheese harden (which happens pretty fast) it really does seem like plastic.

yes, I love their honey BBQ wings. I buy their 20 pc bucket and freeze the extra to be eaten later.

Hmm its failed me so badly I think I might have to retake my past Exams to see whether my collection of A's, B's and C's where a mistake then. (Haven't actually finished school yet but these are the results I've been getting so far)

Psst...I don't know. I was kidding:p

Though the consensus seems to be that its foul, and that people generally have only ever really eaten it for reasons of status. I haven't had KFC in years. Generally if I want chicken, I cook it myself rather than give the responsibility to one of the main representatives of the Evil Empire of American super-capitalism.

I'm not stupid, I'm not a libertarian and I'm not a racist.

mmmm, well I've seen both really... it all boils down to 'I know everything, and you people can't handle the truth'.

There are just various phases of it from pretty much 13 - 25.

Didn't you know that after 18, children cannot get together with their parents, ever? no dinners where the parents can bring over an entree or dessert, nothing. All contact with parents are forbidden after they graduate from High School. :p

I'm not stupid, I'm not a libertarian and I'm not a racist.

I'm guessing yeah. Now, ok, I admit, I'm a horrid speller. I'm really not very good. I don't know how to spell words. But at least I know the basics of grammar, where does this craze of randomly capitalizing letters come from?

This may also be the first time I've seen someone brag about getting a C.

I've never tried caviare, but the few times I've tried "posh foods" they've all tasted pretty disgusting or just pretty boring.

true, and maybe it varies in different countries what form it takes.

Wow your really being childish, and I'm not bragging about that, I'm giving you a summary of my Exam results and general school report - Mostly A's and B's followed by some C's (In R.E and maths)

Not sure how this is relevant.

His 'tone' is young. The OP seemed to indicate he is living at home.

Wow, we really don't care.

Only one of these things is true.

Well I'm not a libertarian I'm more of a centrist, I'm not stupid my grades and reports show that, plus no one has ever thought of me as anything remotely close to stupid, I'm not racist because I do not believe in any racist nor do I think it is acceptable in practice, though some may say that due to the fact I don't particularly like the appearance of black people I'm racist, but that's about as far as it goes.

Wow, we really don't care.

You cared enough to comment, several times.

Well where else am I going to live? and don't most people call the place they are living as "home"?

Fair enough, 'living with parents' is what I inteded to express. Though no...I find that often when kids move out of their parent's house, they do not call their dorm rooms, or their shared accomodations 'home'. 'Home' generally remains the parents' domicile until such time as said kid grows up a little and actually acquires a real domicile of his or her own.

My brother goes to university but still lives at home, these days in Britain it is way to expensive to afford to live on the university for most people.
And yes I was being rather pedantic but meh.

true and Neo's post indicated he was looking 'down' on someone who either still lived at home, or still had their parents buying a meal or to for them.

but I meant no harm or insult, hence the ":p"

no offence meant to either you or Neo A.

I dunno, I called my two room dorm home when I was in undergrad.

Err.. not it isn't.

KFC is shitty garbage. I ate there a total of one time, and had to be hospitalized with food poisoning. Whether that was indicative of the overall quality of KFC or was just an isolated incident, it's been enough to encourage me to never eat at KFC ever again.

Fair enough. I think he was looking 'down' on someone who has an inflated view of his own ideological development actually...I don't think there's really all that much you can ridicule when it comes to having your parents drop off the occasional meal. That just rocks.

Was it in a sort of self-mocking manner?

Cuz otherwise, well.:p

Hey, it was where I ate, studied, shit, pissed, and took a shower. It was home. Just like my apartment in grad school is home.

The vast majority of uni students live on campus, there are ways the government help you with fees you know.

true and Neo's post indicated he was looking 'down' on someone who either still lived at home, or still had their parents buying a meal or to for them.

No, I noted that the fact he has his parents bring him meals and he lives at home is a likely indicator of his age, and a young age would be a fairly good explanation of his posting history.

I have nothing against adults who land on hard times and have no place to go.

Or whose mommies drop off bannock and smoked fish cuz they're just awesome like that? :D

the chicken by itself is horrible but, i love snackers and toasted wraps

Utter rubbish. I would estimate that at least 90% of the students at any given UK university are living away from their parents, and thusly by induction 90% of the university students in the UK are doing the same.

Indeed, it's probably a higher figure than that.

I don't like their chicken, but I like their macaroni and cheese as it's something I'll actually eat as opposed to burgers.

Depends on which one i go to, the one on Cedar Lake is shit...But the ones in Gulfport are great though...

I mostly only go to KFC when i get a craving For Gravy though...

I go to Popeye's or Chick-Fil-A for Chicken...

Yea, but everyone on NSG has ADD/ADHD. *nod*

*plays with shiny object*

No we Donoooohshiny!

You just made me hungry! Stupid <CENSORED> diet!

McDonald's is way better.

been very much diggin the new southern style chicken sandwick.

for my money, i'll take that over kfc, most days.


might just have to go get me one right now...

I tried KFC once in 1980, thought it was horrible and haven't eaten it ever again. Still the is one more time than I have eaten anything from McDonalds.

I love kfc. Their 11 ingredient fried chicken is awesome.

Home is wherever one plans on sleeping tonight, be it a dorm, a friend's place, a girlfriend's place, a hotel room, their parent's basement, or a public park.

As for KFC? Well, it's never been home, and I don't go in for fast food chicken much.

Home is wherever one plans on sleeping tonight, be it a dorm, a friend's place, a girlfriend's place, a hotel room, their parent's basement, or a public park.
'Home' depends on your cultural and personal context.

In western society 'home' generally refers to where you and your family reside together. That is not to say you can not, as a single person, have a home of your own...but that rather, the change from your family's domicile to one of your own is a conscious decision based on more than simply where you happen to be sleeping any given night.

You can have a different cultural and personal context even within 'western society' whic would allow your definition to be valid. It is not, however, universally so.

Fried chicken is my 'home'. It provides the requisite refuge and saftey I require to label something 'home' :tongue:

On top of paying for other things it is.

Not if you budget....Who am I kidding? Hooray for Student Loans!

I liked KFC a long time ago. Unfortunately, I can longer stomach it. I have eaten the finest fried chicken in the universe and everything seems disgusting in comparison. If you ever happen to be in Kansas City, eat at a place called "Strouds." It is unbelievable. Be warned, though. After eating there, you will no longer be able to eat any type of fast-food chicken.

Ah, the days of Kentucky Fried Chocobo. Them's good eating! *hides*

Figures... only a business concerned with legs, thighs and breasts would they go for the largest ones!

It's often confusing to people when one doesn't fit in with the norm on that particular issue. I spent my childhood in two houses, one farmhouse and one in "town", both of which burned down shortly after I joined the Army and went off to Germany. My mother moves on a fairly regular basis, often without telling me where she's going other than in very general terms.

For example, at university when breaks come along I'm often asked if I'm "going home", to which I answer that I go home after class every day. They clarify that they meant where my parents live, to which I reply that I'm really sure where that is. Recently it's "I know she moved way down south, down by Detroit, or perhaps in Detroit but that's about all I know", which gets very mystified looks from these 18-22 year old kids who still go "home" every weekend.

Anyway, about KFC it sucks. I worked at KFC for 2 years during high school and then 2 years during university. The food is terrible for you and it's just poorly done chicken, especially if they don't cook the original recipe right. When I started at KFC during university they cooked the original at 337F, when I distinctly recalled the KFC I worked at before cooking it at 363F although it had been 5 years so I may have just remembered wrong. It turns out I was right and their original was soggy and even nastier than normal. 337F is technically within tolerances for food safety but cooking it at 363F sears the chicken and makes the breading much less soggy and somewhat less disgusting.

Although potato bowls are awesome, I used to take them home from work every day. Damn, I'm glad I have a high speed metabolism or I'd be 1,000 lbs by now.

I've been vegetarian for almost 17 years and, on the odd occasion, I have had dreams where I'm eating meat. It's always the fattiest, most unhealthy meat, including barbecued sausages, souvlaki and... Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Well, at least you didnt work at McDonald's, where the trash bin, for wrappers and such, is misused for Rotting Meat and is directly beneath the sandwich line...people's food, made directly above the most horrible rotting meat.....


Im am SO glad i do not work there anymore.....Although, working as an Usher isnt much better, people are slobs...

Yeah, I really can't complain about the standard of cleanliness in either KFC I worked at, it's just the quality of the food itself that was substandard.

Hmm its failed me so badly I think I might have to retake my past Exams to see whether my collection of A's, B's and C's where a mistake then. (Haven't actually finished school yet but these are the results I've been getting so far)
Grades are hardly an indication of having learned anything. Especially those earned in high school.

I don't eat at KFC. I never liked their food when I ate meat and now that I don't I can only eat side dishes anyways.

The vast majority of uni students live on campus, there are ways the government help you with fees you know.

You shouldn't really judge someone without knowing their financial status first, maybe it is a bit harder for them to be able to live on campus, or maybe and here is why many of my friends who attend uni still live at home it is a hell of a lot cheaper, think about it no rent, no food bills, no utilities bills that is cheaper than paying $200 a week to stay at a dorm.

I like KFC when it's done right. But for the last several years, it seems the only place they do it right is at the KFC Museum (and restaurant) in Corbin, Kentucky. So I don't usually get any unless I'm on my way down to FL for vacation. I always make a little detour and get some Extra Crispy.

But when it comes to the original formula, that sucks so irredeemably that I haven't tested it even at the Corbin location.

Sad to say, all other restaurant fried chicken I've gotten is about as bad as the Original Formula KFC, no matter what kind of restaurant it is--they all make it with some nasty combination of mushy and overspiced crust. So if I want a passable fried chicken dinner without driving about 450 miles (or making myself nuts checking out 100 closer restaurants hoping to find the one with a good cook working there) I have to make it myself.

Recently it's "I know she moved way down south, down by Detroit, or perhaps in Detroit but that's about all I know", which gets very mystified looks from these 18-22 year old kids who still go "home" every weekend.
The fact that Detroit's in the northern part of the US may have a lot to do with those strange looks...

I use the term "home" to refer to wherever it is I'm staying that night. When I'm out of town I use the term "home" to refer to a hotel. I believe this is fairly common.

So, do you like KFC? All the health problems aside do you like the food? the taste of it?

My parents just bought some KFC and its been like ages since I had some KFC.

Peasant chav food, but it the "zinger" spicy stuff tastes good nonetheless. It's a guilty pleasure along with McDonald's breakfast sausage and egg muffin things.

For burgers though, there are much better places.

I've never tried caviare, but the few times I've tried "posh foods" they've all tasted pretty disgusting or just pretty boring.

That's because you are a peasant with no sense of taste :tongue:

Err.. not it isn't.

It really is

The vast majority of uni students live on campus, there are ways the government help you with fees you know.

Fees aside, a uni room isn't free, you know. Out of your £5k a year loan, you need to pay around £100 per week for a room of your own, plus transit, food, clothes, toiletries etc. etc. It is doable only if you work part time as well. Provided you do that, you can survive, if you don't mind living in a shoe box. If you don't you have to live at home whilst you study. Amongst British-Asian students studying in London, this is actually a popular option, since cost of getting into town is way less than the cost of the dorms.


Utter rubbish. I would estimate that at least 90% of the students at any given UK university are living away from their parents, and thusly by induction 90% of the university students in the UK are doing the same.

Indeed, it's probably a higher figure than that.

Nationwide, it's between 75% and 80%. In London it's lower.

KFC is always disappointing. When you arrive there's a delicious smell of chicken in the air, teasing you with it's beautiful appetizing odour. Then, excited, you oder, and they had you a piece of shriveled banality. And then, realizing that you've been fooled again, you start cry at the injustice of it all. Not fun.

Yeah, but it's in the southern part of Michigan, and to people where I live (Mt. Pleasant) Sandusky is the southern edge of existence. This is similar to calling the Lake Michigan coastline the "West Coast", which is prevalent in many parts of the state.

I really want to try their new vegetarian chicken

I live in Minnesota so we get some huge-ass mosquitoes during the summer months along with all sorts of other large spindly insects. I couldn't quite make out which one it was but it was squashed into a poorly made wrap I got at KFC in June. I haven't been back since and don't plan to visit one any time soon.

Yeah, but it's in the southern part of Michigan, and to people where I live (Mt. Pleasant) Sandusky is the southern edge of existence. This is similar to calling the Lake Michigan coastline the "West Coast", which is prevalent in many parts of the state.Oh... It sounds like the Mt. Pleasant people need to do more traveling!

I've frozen, er, lived, here (Commerce, about 45mi from Detroit) all my life, and the only direction-based place I usually hear referred to by its location is "up north" for the U.P.

I have had a couple of people say they were from the "West Coast" and not mean California, but they were just passing through...which I'm glad of, because that's confusing as hell! :tongue:

I suppose the fact that this area is freaking frozen half the year serves as a painful reminder to me of just how north Detroit really is. Just thinking about it makes me want to jump in the car and go to the real South, where it cannot snow!

Fergi America;13942263']Oh... It sounds like the Mt. Pleasant people need to do more traveling!

Much of northern Michigan is that way. Since it takes so long to get anywhere else (except Ontario) by car, society is a bit insular up there. Of course, most of the kids I know in Mt. P are college kids from Detroit...

"Up North" means all sorts of different things, depending on where you are. Some parts of the state consider it to be anything north of Alma or Clare, some just the UP.

I suppose it could be, but when I'm in the states I'm in Michigan (and in the last 6 years the only anglophones I've been around much overseas are Michiganders), so that's where my geographical reference points are.

It could be worse. You could come hang out with me in Kuwait where it's 120 every single day, no clouds or rain. Personally, I prefer the cold because I can always put more on. When it's hot I can only take so much off before they arrest me and even then it only helps so much after a certain point.

Which isn't fair, because not everyone who lives at home is young or retarded. Sometimes they're just broke, and that's not their fault because in order to GET decent job and move out they have to take on $40,000 worth of debt to the government.

Not that I know anyone like that, I'm just saying.

I go to Popeye's or Chick-Fil-A for Chicken...

I'd take either of those over KFC in a heartbeat. Even better, Roscoe's. But oughtn't you have some finer quality fried chicken than Popeye's out there in Biloxi?

I find most stupid teenagers to be in the "I'm a libertarian!" phase. The "I'm a racist!' period I find doesn't really begin until the early 20s.

Which makes a me a stupid teenager. Thank you - in part - I like the idea of being a teenager, but stupid only when I can be.
