    Its true, depending on where you go, Popeyes in other places outside the US may not have the same level of intense flavor, and its a shame because theirs two reasons why this is so. First is Popeyes own taste testers who adjust their recipe according to the assumed taste profile of the region. So for instance if a nation collectively does not eat salty, they will reduce the salt in their recipe. As the customers may find the product overly salty to their levels of taste acceptance. The other reason is due to the local franchise changing the ingredients according to sales figures. here in Puerto Rico, Popeyes on average is no where near as flavorful as in the US. And it really pisses me off, because although people still love it, they are not getting the full experience. we know such practices to be true with other FF Franchises.

    Popeye has been around in Dubai for a while now. However I found the chicken way too salty! It is a better quality of chicken than KFC but for a fast food chicken meal that is way too expensive in UK. 350 stores?
