Food wars is great, the reason for the difference in ingredients is that the US gov't forces food companies to display the breakdown of each ingredient instead of just the ingredient. The "Finger Lookin Good Sauce" is called "Finger Lickin Good" but they changed it when covid popped off. LMFAOO when Gaynor said "that carpet needs vacuuming" if you go to the office blokes reaction to this video Daz says the same thing when he sees the carpet.
What's even more amazing how can same products have so much more crap in US, than other countries. Because we want cheap above all else. Chemicals, who cares. Years later, cancer and other stuff. Why didn't government protect me? But this is norm on many issues, government stay out of my life. Where is my stimulus check, where's my assistance after a storm.? Should have a big H on forehead, hypocrite.
Scones and biscuits are NOT the same thing! Everything I have read comparing them says that scones have eggs, and biscuits don't. They don't even taste the same.
Technically he is right, burgers can be made with beef, chicken, turkey or vegetables. But a hamburger is made specifically with beef. But im with you i call it a sandwich when it has chicken.
In Pennsylvania, at Roaring Knob Raceway they call it a burger (which is by far the best chicken sandwich we've ever had to this very day) and it's called the dirt burger haha
@@ArturoTorres-kh2oy I would think that the chicken you have mentioned above is ground chicken just like ground beef or turkey. It's ground and made into a patty then grilled, not an actual chicken breast that's grilled as a whole piece.
Mt. Dew is HUGE in America. Back around 2002, I coached and taught at a high school here in Iowa. We had seven pop machines throughout the school where the kids could get drinks all day. Five of those machines were nothing but Mt. Dew ..and they had to be refilled twice a day usually.
Finger Looking Good Sauce is made of Mayo, Ketchup, Pickle Juice, Tamarind, MSG, White wine, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and it’s signature “11 herbs and spices”
A 16 pc meal never has to go to waste, there are so many different ways to eat any remaining pieces. Some of my favorites: strip chicken off the bones & make chicken sandwiches. Shred the chicken for tacos, burritos & enchiladas. Cover the whole chicken pieces with Buffalo Wing sauce & heat in the microwave or oven for a bit & serve with coleslaw/fries. Chop the Buffalo Chicken into bite size pieces & make buffalo fries or cover the chopped pieces of chicken with heated teriyaki, hoisin or char sui sauce and make a banh mi sandwich. Make a stir fry. Slice chicken breasts into pieces and serve over a salad. Can do the same thing when you purchase a rotisserie chicken, shred the meat to make great chicken soup or Mexican chicken tortilla soup. The number of uses for any leftover pieces of chicken is endless. Freeze it for later! It never goes to waste, lol. For most people, ie: families, parties, etc. there aren't any left overs. We might have KFC once or twice a year max.
My least favorite, though I do eat a bit of it each time we order from KFC. However, I have been known to throw some out. To me it's just cafeteria quality. I guess mashed potatoes & gravy is something I'm really finicky about. No comparison to home made. The coleslaw is my favorite. Chicken & coleslaw is all I need. I do know loads of people that love the potatoes & gravy though. :)
Ya KFC in the 90s had real ingredients. Today, their mashed potatoes taste like they from a powder mix, biscuits r bland hockey pucks and Mac n cheese is just paste. Absolutely disgusting
Pies in the US are sweet desserts, however we also have many meat pies and we call them "pot pies". Chicken pot pie, beef pot pie, Turkey pot pie. If we are refering to a specific usually British item we say shepherds pie but that uses mashes potatoes rather than pastry .
Where I live in the PNW US KFC corn is on the cob, not in a bowl. We also have Coleslaw (shredded cabbage) 3 types of chicken- Crispy, Original Recipe and Skinless. 8,12,16,20 piece buckets. We also have individual meals in 2,3,4 piece with 2 small sides & a biscuit.
in Canada you can get a 6 10 14 16 or 18 piece and you can buy a full bucket of popcorn chicken here as well Canada and america are definitely top 2 when it comes to portion sizes 😂
When I went to England I was in Ipswich and that KFC was delicious. The chicken bowls make look gross but they are really good. The biscuits and Cole slaw are my favs.
Dave Thomas, founder of the Wendy's restaurant company, was once a vice president at Kentucky Fried. He suggested to the board the idea of testing the sale of boxed meals for sale. Prior to that the menu was mainly aimed at filling a family table. A bucket of chicken, with sides. Ready to go when you got home, for a Sunday dinner or a family get together. Not someone's lap at lunchtime.
Off the rip I was laughing like damn man! 😂😂🤣🤣 Guy from UK brings in full tray sits down... Meanwhile guy from US brings in tray but continues to bring in an extra 4 to 5 more buckets. Lawd have mercy we are crazy when it comes to the amounts of food here in the US. Most of us here in the US don't realize how huge our portions or ratios (if that's the right word) of food produced is until it's compared to an other countries food portions.
If you live in the South East you'll find iced tea at KFC. And several restaurants that I've worked at kept bags of Twinings, or the like, on hand if anyone asked for a cup.
Childhood memory: my T-ball team practiced uphill from a KFC 😊, but also from a sewage treatment plant. Practice would end to the scent of KFC, which would be promptly killed by the treatment plant, which would start processing 😢...
I'm old school, I never call it "KFC", I always call it Kentucky Fried Chicken. Growing up that's what everyone called it. Not sure when people starting referring to it by it's initialism. Late 80's or early 90's maybe?
There was a period, I believe in the 90s, where KFC officially changed their name to KFC reportedly to get "fried" out of the name to sound more health conscious. They later re-branded back, though both are common now.
Amazing how many get so excited over fast food, rather than good sit-down Mom and Pops. Really sad when people go to other countries and first thing they want Starbucks and McDonald's. Why even go?
In our defense, we usually get large-sized orders on a road trip just to save on having to make so many stops- everyone slowly eating it until someone either needs to make a pit stop or fill the car up on gas. And there is another thing to take into account on why we have large-sized orders besides long road trips. 1.) Parties or 2.) A large family (we're talking about brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, aunts, and so on.) All in all, it makes more sense to order the larger portion for such reasons. (Both my parents come from a large family. My mom came from a family of 6 and dad came from a family of 12 😅)
KFC chicken is not so great in America either. I think they just got rid of their popcorn chicken. Their mashed potatoes and GRAVY are so good. I haven't been to KFC since 2008 cause I was grossed out. It's like their chicken meat is all slimy.
I don't know if this comment will translate to the UK. But Mtn Dew is the Pepsi equivalent of Coca-Cola's Mellow Yellow. 7Up is the Pepsi equivalent of Coca-Cola's Sprite. And it's the 7Up/Sprite that are supposedly lemon-lime flavor. It's been so long since I've had a Mellow Yellow/Mtn Dew that I can't even remember what the flavor is supposed to be.
Never really get kfc but I love Popeyes just amazing food for an amazing price. Chicken tenders with sweet heat and a side of fries are the best. The chicken sandwich is so good but can’t get to much it’s that hot.
The KFC in my town (in the US) went so far downhill that they closed it a few months back. It used to be so delicious but before it closed it was horrid
I hate the way they try and make innocuous ingredients sound like they’re these crazy chemicals when most of the stuff are things you’d use in your kitchen: baking powder, sugar (dextrose), MSG, etc. We need to stop being scared of an ingredient because it has a long name or acting like that means it’s bad.
Never was a fan of KFC. Plus, if I ever got carded out of state, they would ask if I like KFC due to my license being KY. There's a regional chain called Lee's that is better, actually founded by a former employee at the original KFC near London, KY.
In the past decade KFC has really lost both its food quality and my business. Now if I'm not going to make it myself I go to Popeye's or most likely Church's as both are better and generally much faster. I won't go to their restaurants in Corpus Christi or really anywhere in south Texas.
Well theres also the fact if you are getting a box of popcorn chicken for yourself or ording a 20 piece chicken mcnuggets at mcdonalls you are likely not also ording fries, you are just eating chicken which comes out to about the same calories and arguably healthier.
20 yrs since I've been to KFC, never been to Churches or Popeyes. Prefer baked chicken from the Grocery store deli or drive over to my Mom's house for homemade roasted or baked chicken.
Depends on how you cook and watch your health. I don't fry anything maybe an egg when I want it. Otherwise, I do eat fries Mc Donald's only, don't make at home. Soda is a big no, wine yes. Sweet potatoes, brown rice no white floured anything. I was raised with no sugar in the house as a kid, so my mom, one brother and myself hold to my mom's ideas into adulthood. Other twin brother went on a sugar binge and is now a diabetic.
I never gave my boys any drinks other than water. Declan would only order water in. restaurant and Aidan has never tried tea or coffee, he hates the smell. We never gave them kids meals either, they always ordered an adult meal and shared.
@Trey Knows I'm American but even I remember when this happened in the UK. It was much more than just a restaurant/store running out of an item. The equivalent comparison in the US would be(well, basically the same). Every KFC not having any chicken for several days, any pizza place being completely out of dough, Arby's running out of chicken. Really any food eatery not having their staple food item for a few days.
I dispute that US biscuits are like scones. Maybe visually. I love a biscuit, but can take or leave a scone.

Yes. I do love food wars, especially because the US wins. I don’t know how good that is. 😂
Scones and biscuits are NOT the same thing! Everything I have read comparing them says that scones have eggs, and biscuits don't. They don't even taste the same.
Agree, they are nothing alike.
2:09 its important to note at KFC in the US the sizes are technically "personal" and "family" not necessarily small and large.
I will never get used to hearing Brits call chicken sandwiches burgers lol
Technically he is right, burgers can be made with beef, chicken, turkey or vegetables. But a hamburger is made specifically with beef. But im with you i call it a sandwich when it has chicken.

We used to have the baked beans in the U S. They discontinued them. To the dismay of many. Before the current bisquite they had awesome dinner rolls.
Have plenty of assortment in US. Even Heinz from UK. Would require heating, such a task for some.
I hate that they (UK ) call anything on a bun a burger! 😂 it’s not a burger.
Exactly, it's only a burger if it's ground meat.

And now we lead in Obesity.
I find it weird fries are the UK default side.
Ours is Mashed potatos and gravy. The fries are a relatively recent addition to the Menu.

Love KFC mashed potatoes and gravy. Makes me want to go get a big container of it right now! 😋

Last time i had the mashed potatos they were watery 🤢
KFC mashed potatoes & gravy used to be horrible. It’s still not great but it’s now tolerable.
It's mashed "potato" and gravy. Definitely powdered mash potato
the gravy is good but idk about the mash potatoes
Agree w/ G, KFC has gone down over here as well. I stopped eating there in the ‘90s when they merged with Taco Bell. Down hill ever since.
When I was a teenager, they tore down 2 of my neighbors houses and a vet clinic to put up a kfc/taco bell, it is now a Caribou coffee.
I only get the chicken sandwiches from there, I refuse to eat the chicken on the bone from there ever again lol
Ya KFC in the 90s had real ingredients. Today, their mashed potatoes taste like they from a powder mix, biscuits r bland hockey pucks and Mac n cheese is just paste. Absolutely disgusting
Me too. I quit eating there when they gave me a back instead of a breast. Once in a blue moon I will go for their chicken pot pie.
Pies in the US are sweet desserts, however we also have many meat pies and we call them "pot pies". Chicken pot pie, beef pot pie, Turkey pot pie. If we are refering to a specific usually British item we say shepherds pie but that uses mashes potatoes rather than pastry .
The famous popcorn chicken/mash potato bowl is fuxing 💣, one of the best items hands down, and you can make it at home!
This is the best channel to watch after a hard day at work

Mountain Dew is very sweet. It’s like a Mid West/Southern staple. There were news stories about decaying teeth and what not.
When I went to England I was in Ipswich and that KFC was delicious. The chicken bowls make look gross but they are really good. The biscuits and Cole slaw are my favs.
Never ever call a chicken sandwich a burger. A burger is only a burger when it has a hamburger patty on a bun.
Actually a burger is ground meat in a patty. You can have a chicken burger but it has to be ground chicken.
Well, for it to be a burger the meat has to be ground.
@@Riptionator not true any meat other than a hamburger patty is a sandwich. Ground or not it’s considered a sandwich.
They changed the fries recently. Used to only be thick wedges, and now they have more conventional seasoned fries. I like them much better.
The new ones are actually pretty good!

No one orders fries at KFC. They are soggy here as well. The top two sides are mashed potatoes and gravy and cole slaw.

Same here. I thought I was the only one that still called it by it's full name. I agree with Lisa, early 90s for sure.
Calling it Kenny Kings is old school lol
There was a period, I believe in the 90s, where KFC officially changed their name to KFC reportedly to get "fried" out of the name to sound more health conscious. They later re-branded back, though both are common now.
OMG send me a Famous Bowl!!
Little known fact (outside of Utah): the original KFC was in Salt Lake City, Utah
I personally have never seen chips/fries at the KFC's where I live in the US.
Only potato wedges.
Amazing how many get so excited over fast food, rather than good sit-down Mom and Pops. Really sad when people go to other countries and first thing they want Starbucks and McDonald's. Why even go?

I'm glad the KFC in my town closed down because the Famous Bowl is too addictive and really bad for you. Lol
How can they call themselves a KFC and not have mashed potatoes and gravy and biscuits?
Absolutely unacceptable
Kfc definitely gone down hill in the past 5 years but largely depends on if u have a good one in your area.
Aidan wants to eat, ALL OF THE FOOD. Typical young man.
KFC used to be a go to, but that is now Chick Fil-a. KFC isn't bad, but Chick Fil a is just better.
Nooo. American biscuits are NOT scones. As an American, that dude should know better.

More Food Wars! 👍👍
KFC over here in the states has gone downhill .
I think Popeyes is way more popular.
The location of the very first KFC is just down the road from me here in Utah. The restaurant did exist prior, but didn't use the same name.
Never was a fan of KFC. Plus, if I ever got carded out of state, they would ask if I like KFC due to my license being KY. There's a regional chain called Lee's that is better, actually founded by a former employee at the original KFC near London, KY.
Do you guys have Popeyes? In the US their chicken is superior to KFC.
The best kfc is korean fried chicken.
KFC has gone downhill in the U.S. too
In the past decade KFC has really lost both its food quality and my business.
Now if I'm not going to make it myself I go to Popeye's or most likely Church's as both are better and generally much faster.
I won't go to their restaurants in Corpus Christi or really anywhere in south Texas.
The US guy is showing what would be for a group of people and not a single individual. I don't know anybody who eats that much KFC alone.
Well theres also the fact if you are getting a box of popcorn chicken for yourself or ording a 20 piece chicken mcnuggets at mcdonalls you are likely not also ording fries, you are just eating chicken which comes out to about the same calories and arguably healthier.
I have no idea when kfc decided to sell fries. I've never had them.
Love the food stuff, I am not a fan of KFC. Prefer Churches or Popeys
20 yrs since I've been to KFC, never been to Churches or Popeyes. Prefer baked chicken from the Grocery store deli or drive over to my Mom's house for homemade roasted or baked chicken.
UK kfc might not taste good as US but atleast it didn't gives me a heart attack or diabetes 😂
Hey can someone please tell me what does Bloke mean?
A man, an "ordinary man". Similar to the American phrase "average joe". Hope this helps.
Chicken always too greasy and salty i feel sick at KFC
KFC does not sell burgers😂😂
Our chickens are full of hormones and antibiotics
So sad that's their only choice in the UK. Here, KFC is like the Olive Garden and McDonald's of chicken. The bottom of the barrel :(
It's semolina genius, I hate the American they use on these videos.
Popeyes is way better
This is a good explanation as to why Americans are so notoriously tiny and frail. ;)

You must never have worked a restaurant job if you don't understand how a store can be out of something.
Yeah, you had bad management... We were turning tables double time, and never ran out of anything.
@@DashRiprock513 Even worse than running out of chicken? Running out of BBQ ribs. It happens frequently, lol.
No, the whole of the UK KFC ran out of chicken. Not just one store! We couldn’t get shipments in.
