I'm a long way from home and grabbed a KFC meal over Thanksgiving. I haven't had it since ... 2015, I think? and that was overseas.

My dad would sometimes buy it when we were kids, and it did hit the nostalgia buttons while also providing me with a few days worth of food. It tasted like I remember it. Sure it's fast food chicken, but it's not bad.

Although I guess when comparing it to Popeyes and some of the other fast food chicken offerings, it hasn't provided anything new in a while. Maybe they should try to get into the chicken sandwich space and try to market against Chick-fil-a?

I suspect this console will turn into a relic we'll see in videos 10 years from now, similar to the Hot Wheels and Barbie PC. At least it will probably be more useful than an Ouya.

in 2010, i was lucky enough to have KFC in beijing. it's a totally different experience, and was absolutely delicious.

once covid stops being a PITA, and travel becomes a reality, i strongly recommend trying out american fast food chains in other countries. i'm almost always surprised w/the quality!

Except McDonald’s, which for the core menu, tastes identical the world over. I believe this is deliberate and by design. They also accept USD in lieu of local tender the world over too (but you’ll get your change in local tender).
