    a friend of mine who works for kfc told me they have bred a chicken with six legs to increase portion size's,unfortunately they cant catch it to see what it tastes like...

    I hear they're breeding square chickens now to make them easier to stack.

    Yes my wife and I have noticed the portions are getting smaller, we rarely go to those places, but on a rare ocassion you just can't resist it can you :rotfl:

    Normally we have the 3 piece strip meal, but they now got soooo small, so we buy a 5 piece and a 3 piece so we can have 4 pieces each.

    As a foot note, tell me a place that has not reduced portions and standards, seems to be the thing now :o

    We've all seen the ad on the TV where the family get the bucket and share it around. My children have been pestering me to try KFC, so we got a family bucket last month.

    We got 8 scrawny chicken wings, 4 bags of chips with about half a dozen chips per bag, 4 small pieces of corn on the cob and a bottle of pop for £9.99. It wasn't enough to feed 4 people as a main meal, and we were really disappointed.

    They've done you a favor, your kids will now stop pestering you for buckets of deepfried junk food.
    The money, Dave...
  • Yuck KFC. I've been there once and will never go ever again! It's rank, and the only good thing about it is that they have Pepsi Max.

    I love a bit of KFC, My secret is flirt like mad with the hefty girl behind the counter, that way I always get the decent chicken. Then again, my daily sandwich from the deli, always has more filling than anyone else due to my flirting.
    Its amazing what a bit of cheek will get you.

    when back in the UK last month, went to what was my local fish and chip shop, couldn't believe the size of the portions, the cod was huge! and it all tasted good
  • for those complaining about kfc if you join gapbuster as a mystery shopper you might just be able to help change what you dislike......

    otherwise just dont go anymore. money speaks
  • Sadly our nearest Nando's is a five mile drive, therefore we have to put up with the local KFC.

    You cannot beat a Nando's!
