Untrue. Yeah, KFC markets chicken as a Christmas tradition, but every chain shop, convenience store, supermarket, shopping mall, car dealership, sports shop...anything and everywhere rides the bandwagon for marketing holidays. This is just one of the better known ones. No one I know has ever made a Christmas feast of take-out KFC. It’s just a thing that’s been in popular culture for 50 years or so, so it gets international attention. Some people like to get a bucket of chicken on Christmas for their families simply because it’s funny and something they probably remember growing up with as a child. There’s no actual “there, there” in the way foreign media always repeats this story every Christmas.
I’m smoking ribs and chicken.
With coleslaw, cornbread muffins and beer.
Merry Christmas!!
Because there are no Ls in the name?
Six percent of the population.
The problem with “Chinese Turkey” is that it smiles at you!

The Big Guy gets 10%. Or else.
Now I could easily get behind making Popeye’s Red Beans and Rice part of my Christmas Dinner!
I never took it to be a widespread thing. Just enough of a thing where pre-orders make sense. Sounds like a fun, silly tradition for those that do it.
Before the Montreal Expos moved to Washington DC, I went to games at Stade Olympique.Among the food shops:
PFK...Poulet Frie Kentucky.
Terry Pratchett’s novel Truckers about
four-inch-tall people living among us
describes them rummaging through discarded
food wrappers that depict a famous man
who is clearly based on Col Sanders.
“Col Sanders wants to cook his goose
But Pyscho Chicken’s still on the loose”—The Fools (parody of Psycho Killer)
KFC leaves a bitter aftertaste in my mouth whenever I eat it.
I also don't like the aftertaste from eating KFC. Popeye's is better, and better yet is Louisiana Fried Chicken, a local chain in Southern California found mostly in black neighborhoods.
A perfect example of “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it”.
novelty song
Oh it’s a technicolor Christmas when you’re Jewish/because the moviehouses never close
I get my kicks down at the flicks
While others go kissing under Mistletoe
While others want to carol in an open sleigh
We’ve got a date with Yentl on this special day
Anticipating 8pm CT tonight when it becomes officially Christmas with the first showing of that classic movie marathon.
Me too. Im not a fan of chicken, but ive had KFC a handful of times both before and after they changed their recipe.
Back then you had a choice between original or crispy (i always preferred original). Today, you dont. They also gave you dinner rolls. Not biscuits (that i can recall).
Worse thing they ever did was to change the recipe of their fried chicken.
you cvan find KFC-like recipes for home made chicken online- Here’s one:
2/3 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons white pepper
1 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon dried mustard
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/3 tablespoon oregano
4 tablespoons paprika
1/2 tablespoon thyme

They say to add in MSG though for ‘the secret flavor’ and claim MSG isn’t bad- and explain why in seperate article- but I’ll still avoid it thanks
[[Some years ago, they changed the recipe, so now it doesn’t taste as good.]]
And it makes me sick now every time too- something sure does seem to have changed-
I do like their slaw- I used to make a ‘Hungarian style’ slaw for a Hungarian restaurant i worked at- it was really really good- folks loved it too- along with potato pancakes- which i didn’t really care for- wish i could remember what went into the slaw-
“instead of honey for your biscuits, they give you something called ‘honey sauce’”
That’s how I feel about that disgusting “horsey sauce” at Arby’s. Horseradish must be virgin and hot, otherwise it’s just slime.
Over thirty years later and I still LOL. Classic indeed.
Well, now I’m conflicted on whether it’s good or bad to get meat from China, because I read there’s a food shortage there and I want them have to eat their dogs...oh wait!
