Had my first KFC Double Down yesterday
Wow, was it gross. I could only take one bite before giving it away. I really couldn't taste the innards, it was just a big wad o' meat in my mouth. They were out of the crispy variety so I stupidly chose grilled. Maybe that was why it was so gross.

1. Miracle Whip would help.
Don't tone it down. Whip it up. Whip it good.

7. Miracle Whip is an abomination.
Mayo is the only way to go.

From another mayonnaise purist. I know someone who actually uses Miracle Whip LIGHT. What the hell is up with that?

14. That is not toning it down a little toned down.

15. Hold it right there.
I belong to a group of closet Miracle Whip lovers. We are folks who were raised on Hellman's and were always told about the evils of MW but we all would go to our MW friend's homes and enjoy the sweet nastiness that is Miracle Whip. There is nothing like it.

I want it now!!!!!!

21. Makes sense, when you think about it.
When you're KFC, what do you have the most of at the end of the day?

Chicken fat, of course.


It's kinda like Wendy's taking the hamburgers they have left at the end of the day and using them for the next day's chili. Only even more gross.

46. I wonder what in the hell is "Propylene Glycol Alginate"?
Among all the other junk on the list, that sounds like an explosive. Good grief, the junk we're ingesting. Let me stick with cigs and booze. At least I *know* what I'm killing myself with.

6. Thankfully, they're quite small
Edited on Mon Apr-12-10 02:57 PM by Ratty
Even I won't touch one of their KFC Famous Bowls. Like vomit and diarrhea topped with corn and gravy, if you ask me.



On edit: Mmmmm, here's an even TASTIER picture of one:



I totally forgot about all that yummy CHEESE on top. My mouth is sooo watering right now!

10. Just had one and I hate myself for it.
I think eventually KFC is gonna invent a chicken shake. Nothing but liquefied fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, bacon and cheese in a cup with a giant straw.

Dogs, twists, some kind of fermented chicken drink... :rofl:

18. OMG. I'm trying to think of a sound to represent the liquefied chicken concoction.
It would have to be a mélange of "aaargh-eew-wrrzlbrm-pfffft". Ooooh. My gall bladder is acting up just from me thinking about that.

Think I'll forego dinner tonight and go to bed hungry. I'll maybe have a nice cup of lukewarm mint tea. Thanks, bud.

30. My body can handle massive amounts of booze, drugs, and cigarettes
but two bites of that fried monstrosity was too much.

25. Yeah, I should try it once more just to be impartial
I think the grilled chicken was at least 30% of the grossness.

29. I don't think I'd like that either
It doesn't sound very appealing with the grilled chicken, the crispy fried chicken is a big part of the experience :P

sloppy to eat? It looks like it would be from the pic someone posted in another thread.

They look yummy! I don't really "do" fast food, but I'd pull over to try one of these.

31. It's sort of along the lines of chicken cordon bleu, no?
Edited on Mon Apr-12-10 07:24 PM by gmoney
Just assembled differently, with bacon in place of ham. Eat it with a knife and fork maybe?

IIRC, Arby's used to have a Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich that was actually pretty good. Tons of salt, I'm sure, but tasty.

33. I plan on getting it, but only through drive-thru. And I'll only eat it in the comfort of my home
Id be embarrassed to be eating it otherwise.

36. Oh, lovely.
I love the mac & cheese and the mashed potatoes, and that is it.
Even looking at that make me want to take a shower and then wash my dog (who really needs a bath).

41. I make homemade versions...
.
...of the infamous "vomit bowl" that are actually quite good.
.
Boneless, skinless large diced chicken breast, mashed potatoes,
peas, cheddar, and usually some ranch dressing. Looks pretty
good -- tastes MUCH better.
.
Looking at Ratty's OP -- "big wad o' meat".
.
Suddenly turned into Homer Simpson, shuddering and moaning,
"M-m-m-m-m-m, big wad o' meat."
,

43. I'm fat, and I won't even eat that stuff
Yuck. Of course, that's my opinion.

The only fast food we do now is Bellevue, WA's Burgermaster. Locally sourced products, no trans-fat, grass-fed beef with no hormones or additives.

It costs more, but it's worth every penny.
