2. I thought they had "potato wedges" instead of fries --
(potato wedge = a 1/16 or so slice of the potato with the skin still on)

but it's been quite a while since I've eaten at a KFC

4. I had the misfortune of being in
Downtown San Francisco one evening on my honeymoon, a couple months back. The only thing open was a KFC. And they definitely had Potato wedges, not fries.

Perhaps Gato was in one of the dual restaurant dealies, KFC/A&W. they have fries, and those fries are indeed horrible. On a par with undercooked McDonalds fries that have been left out too long.

11. Julia Child once did a comparison test on which fast-food chain had the best fries:
Wendy's (by her estimation).

41. spork!
http://www.spork.org/

A spork is a perfect metaphor for human existance. It tries to function as both spoon and fork, and because of this dual nature, it fails miserably at both. You cannot have soup with a spork, it is far too shallow; you cannot eat meat with a spork, the prongs are too small.

42. god - i remember seeign that site back in the early 90s
i think.

But really this si true - the spork is a perfect emtaphor for human existence.

but it works really good for mashed potatoes! and pudding. and I bet if you melted it it would make a really good shank!

25. are you joking?
wendy's are way better than kfc.

when wendy's first started they had awesome fries....they were like steak fries, big and thick and tasty. then they changed to the new fries in the 80s and they paled in comparison but they're still better than most fast food places.

33. Not our local Wendy's. They are always pale white and soggy. Not a hint of
golden crispness in the box. :(

35. oh, you mean slimy fries....sweet jesus i hate slimy fries
they're soft, undercooked and saturated with artery clogging vegetable oil. like freepers, they have absolutely no redeeming quality.

34. Garden is suffering. It's been hot and dry this whole year.
Don't know when I can make it down. Maybe when I get me a promotion so I can afford tickets for both of us. Come on up anytime. Except the next week. I'm out of town.

27. Who eats fries at KFC?
I didn't even know they *had* fries.

KFC = fried chicken, biscuits, and mashed potatoes/gravy.

I can see the temptation, as the commercials do chicken right.

43. you ain't missing much......
....there's probably not much on the menu that you could eat. i doubt kfc is vegan friendly. colonel sanders was undoubtedly a meat lover.
