what is so hard to understand about that?

Hummm I dunno, maybe the fact the FC in their name stands for Fried Chicken

At first I thought you had to be trolling in this thread, but I thought about it and I believe you might be serious here. You fucking food snobs are really bizarre people.


And to respond to your statement you bet I eat Hot dogs with ketchup, I only eat Hot Dogs with Chili, which doesn't have beans.

Ok that's fair enough since i've never had real ramen and my only experience is instant noodles. But I do like pho and authentic noodle soups from real Asian restaurants.

Speaking of spaghetti and meatballs, that's an Italian-American dish. Its not really from Italy. Same thing with chicken parmigiana etc... Thats not to say we don't serve it in my family's restaurant. After all, if the people want it, then we will serve it. But we make it a point to also serve many authentic Italian recipes and stay true to our roots.

So let's get this straight, you are true to your roots, but will whore your culture out for extra cash?

Not sure what the bold actually means, it's missing a verb. I've eaten the best Fried Chicken in the country, it's at a soul food place in San Diego, I routinely drive 100 miles to get it. I don't like or dislike KFC, it's not what I'd consider good. But even if you think it's the worst chicken on the planet, it's kind of mind boggling for you to keep insisting that it's not even fried chicken. I also make my own home made fried chicken. So I understand the process very very. Chicken + breading + deep fryer = fried chicken. This is exactly what KFC does, the quality of said fried chicken's debatable, but saying it isn't fried chicken isn't debatable. At least not by non retarded people.

Should THEY be telling the customers what's acceptable fare? they're evidently being smart and trying to remain in business, would you sell "only certified Italian food" and wind up closing because customers went elsewhere to get what they wanted in the first place??

If they are true to their roots...which from that statement he made says they are just out for profit.

Real kosher restaurants do not even allow you to bring a bottle of water in off the street. They don't have chicken fingers and hamburgers to please the typical American palate.

You eat your Shawarma and whatever else you ordered.

Sorry bro, fried chicken and California do not go hand in hand, just shows you haven't travelled and/or don't really care much about fried chicken.

KFC uses a pressure cooker.

That is perhaps the most American thing anyone has ever said. Please tell me you drive a large truck or SUV, and are obese by BMI.

The chicken is pressure fried. It is fried chicken. I'm not sure if you're trying to be obtuse, or really just stupid, but its really not an argument you can make.

Also, my opinion on fried chicken should not make you sad. But you do this alot. With the exception of maybe one or two other people on here, no one makes as many "I represent my baseless opinion as fact" bitchpinions about food as you do. :biggrin:

That all being said, I don't eat KFC. I don't really like the flavor.

owned? By referring to a pressure fryer (a type of pressure cooker) as a pressure cooker?

A pressure fryer is a type of pressure cooker just like frying is a type of cooking..

Pressure Frying -> Pressure Cooking

Pressure Frying -> Pressure Cooking

Good. Grief.

Frying is a type of cooking.
Pressure frying is a type of pressure cooking.

Cooking is not necessarily frying (poaching, braising, baking, etc.)
Pressure cooking is not necessarily pressure frying (pressure canning, pressure frying, etc.)
