Kentucky Fried Chicken comes to Munich

Yeah, but what do Europeans know about biscuits? They think they're cookies.

why call it a biscuit when you mean bread? Defies logic really, IPJ, doesn't it?

Eat me (biscuit).

Why have they not figured out that Taco Bell would be a big hit in Europe? KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell are all owned by the same big corporation. I remember just freaking out one day while in Germany that I could not get a bean and cheese buritto!
Can we all just visualize a Taco Bell in Germany? Maybe we can make it happen!!

Got a few thousand to spare and a desire? That is all a franchise needs! Other than that, got a few thousand and a desire to make it work and I can help you make a substitute, only better.

@Antaresglow

The Taco Bell story has already been covered before.
Go Hooters comes to Germany to see why you will not be seeing a Tacobell in Germany anytime soon...

Because she means biscuit. If you start calling biscuits bread, you may as well call pretzels bread. Or crackers. Or communion wafers. It'd be anarchy.

How is it possible to have a KFC with no biscuits? Fried chicken and no biscuits is against the laws of nature.

Actually, communion wafers are simply bread, until they are consecrated. The specialized word for it is paneity: the quality or state of being merely bread.

An American biscuit is nothing more than a scone. Scones don't go with fried food.

Everyone knows that...

Naw, scones and biscuits are a very different texture.

I only came on this thread to see what Hazza said. Hazza, the man who's never met a chicken he didn't like.

@Randy
I thought they were Oblaten. Meaning to give or something

actually, I can see how the "mix & drop" style biscuit could be compared to a scone, but it's the rolled biscuit (or the angel biscuit, etc. depending on which state in the south you come from) that we're talking about and which some of *us* find superior to the drop biscuit. mmmm.

agree, UpQuark - fried chicken without biscuits is culinary blasphemy.

takes a moment to say a prayer to Popeye's EggBo biscuit...sniff...

I cant believe that there are 9 pages about a shop that hasnt even opened yet and basically sells overpriced chicken in a bucket!!!

But tasty overpriced chicken in a bucket.

the bucket is also quiet tasty

@brokenm: if it looks like an Oblate, tastes like an Oblate and smells like an Oblate, it must be an Oblate.

Oblaten can be the host served at communion or more commonly the wafer used in Lebkuchen.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaa i cant beleive we are on this theme again about KENTUCKY FRIED CRAP!!!

the bucket has more nutritional value

2nd that!

I strongly dislike and could definately NEVER see myself purposely eating KFC in the states...however, here for some fucked up reason, it sounds very appealing. I'd even bet you'd see me there the week it opens...

...not that I'd EVER give a shit if anything is nutritional, though...I climb up a mountain 6 days a week, the hell if I care about some extra calories!!

is there an organized trip to KFC on the opening day?? we need representatives from TT

Really???

Then some bastard in America must've taken the piss and given me scones instead.

Probably laughing at the stupid foreigner who ate scones believing them to be biscuits...

On a similar note though, I was distressed to find that KFC in the States (at least in California) didn't serve chips (fries) as a side dish. What's all that about?

If you want chips, go to McDonald's. A proper meal of fried chicken has biscuits (much less dense and less crumbly than scones), coleslaw and mashed potatos with gravy. Mmm.

Oh yes...mmmmm. My friend used to actually drink the gravy out of the little Styrofoam cup they serve it in. She considered it a drink She looooved it. But then again she's a bit strange. She also used to ask for extra sauce on her pizza...like sauce on top of all the fixins'. Man I miss her

I remember a KFC in Frankfurt back in the early 70's. Never tried that one. I Wonder why it took so long for a KFC to get to Munich. What I can't undersatnd is why any one would settle for Amberican fast food in a city like Munich.

Kentucky Fried lard with lard sauce and lardy chips more like.
hee.
but that's why it tastes so good actually.
you can always trust lard.

Lard Rules

bleurgh!

Have you looked at the line ups in McD's and Burger King lately? Seems people here like their fast food.

Mmm. Pass the lard.

heehee. gladly my dear.

hope it doesn't stop at KFC, we need a Dairy Queen here, and a Taco Bell!
hmm...am off home to have my tea getting hungry now!

OMG now we're talkin'. Mmm...

Screw Dairy Queen, we need an A&W. Mmm...rootbeer floats...I stopped at one in Nebraska once and learned pretty quickly that it was one of the last three in the country that still made their own rootbeer on site. Aaaaaaah, pure heaven.

I would if I could IPJ, I would if I could. Steak finger baskets and one of them chocolate hand dipped cones. mmmmm. I need a cold shower.

Just found out hubby's new job is less than one block from KFC. And he is an addict. Oh boy.

Better get a head start and look into what the German version of "Big and Tall" is.

Just 2 more weeks to go...
I hope they have enough chicken in to cope for the demand on opening day.

Several Germans have mentioned to me their disgust of the horrible drink they tried in the US called... root beer.

I don't think we will see Dairy Queen here any time soon.

I have a German friend in the States who had never heard of it when he arrived there. He saw a vending machine with root beer and thought, "Hm, they sell beer in vending machines here." He bought one, opened it up and took a big swig, expecting beer. Needless to say, he wasn't very happy about it. Like most people who've never tried it do, he thought it tasted like cough medicine. It's definitely an acquired taste.

hmm. I'm guessing they'd really hate birch beer then.

I'm also guessing IPJ is going to hit the Napa A&W soon. And hard...

Oooooh, baby! Napa here I come! A&W for lunch and then off to visit Winegirl for some discounted wine tasting. Hm, I could spend a couple days there and alternate between wine, root beer and Blackhawk Stout and Red Tail Ale at the Mendocino Brewing Company. Ah, there's the life...

If my kinfolk weren't in town I'd vote for next TT Tuesday at the KFC. Yeah, yeah, I know its scheduled karaoke at GMs.

Im just reminding peeps that KFC is opening next week. I might have to take my bucket of chicken fried goodness on a picnic to the biergarten. Well the second bucket, as the first one wont make it out of the parking lot. Oh and yes I'd probably hide the bucket if I went on a picnic. I mean someone might try and steal it

Dude, i love crispy strips, cant wait.

It doesn't taste that bad but never can it be called great food. It's like Mac or Burger king. It's nice that they are coming but this can't be an exciting news...

@ Kalidas

ohh it is if you are doing private research for the next installment for supersize me

The opening is in less than a week and I'm not gonna be here for it They better have a KFC out in Lithuania or Latvia!!!

This KFC will also be doing the free refill service on drinks.
Saw the first advert for it yesterday, Radio Gong is doing a tie-in promotion with their breakfast show, something about winning pairs of tickets to U2.
Could I swap them for chicken though? Coz I already have tickets.

But will they have root beer? That is the important question...

right so whens the KFC meetup? lunch on wednesday everyone? i mean I dont reallly want to be there on opening day, do I

/off to check my schedule

The ad said U1 Georg-Brauchle-Ring - how close is it to the U-Bahn?
Although this is v. bad it being on the U1

It's at the top of the steps, literally (north-east exit)

This is not good being so close to where I work ...
