    Be honest now, mate. The “mashed potatoes” in KFC are rehydrated instant mash, which has a nasty taste, and an even nastier texture, that is only overcome by slathering it in similarly artificial gravy.
    In the UK, we just don’t do American “biscuits”.

      KFC just really isn't that popular in the UK compared to say McDonalds etc. Went to MDS for a treat after swimming with kids its crammed KFC next door. 1 family. They have a controversial reputation in the UK for selling crap and cruelty to animals. I avoid like the plague it is just full of crap. MDS at least makes a partial effort and keeps its ingredients fairly plain and homegrown. KFC can't even call their chicken genuine chicken due to their practices. Its just gross.

      They're not scones; they're cobblers in the UK. But they're pretty much identical, just you don't eat them with jam and cream.

Jamies reaction was the same as the fries reaction.... what happened to just potato cooked and salt added.!?!?!.
    The food culture in the US has crazy portion sizes,in shopping mall in L A killing time before my flight I saw a whole floor of restaurants offering all you can eat menus from 10$ .... ironically on the next floor were clothes stores with sizes up to XXXXL.

    More expensive to produce food in the UK due to food and farming regulations & standards, thus why the menu is limited as are the portions. Also we don't have mass battery farming, etc on the scale that you have in the US. The crops we grow to feed the livestock are also more expensive to grow without the use of GMO and banned fertilisers used in the US. Bulking agents, artificial ingredients are also kept to a minimum in the UK. However given all that, we still manage to be the biggest junk food consumers in Europe.

    I see comments where people say watching how they made the gravy put them off. That's how you make proper gravy though. If I was doing a roast dinner, I'd use the tray full of congealed meat fat and juices which I roasted the potatoes in on a shelf under the meat, pour water from veg onto tray and heat on the hob while stirring, it's called deglazing the pan, then you skim the fat off top but no one knows how to make proper gravy anymore, they just boil a kettle and get the bisto out.
