Guys,

SPeaking about KFC,they just lost a case for USD 8.3 million in Australia.

Now that is most certainly not what Yum brands would like to see.Especially the publicity part of it..

A girl goes brain dead after eating at KFC,not good news.

No wonder KFC is so successful in emergying markets. Just went to couple of KFC resturants in China, amazing to see they got some special menus there. Like this one, they serve congee there. Shall they be more creative in North America?

Like any good party once you start talking tacos, fried chicken, and pizza, things get out of hand...

The hotdog stuffed crust is nothing. when I was in Thailand last year there was a pizza place that would advertise a sausage crust, tom yum seafood pizza.....

May she rest in peace, my mother was a terrible cook!  Betty on Mad Men is more talented in the kitchen than my mother was!

But the nadir of my mom's haute WASP repertoire...worse than the chop suey...below the Sweet & Sour pork...was a SPAM creation that she used to serve on Sunday nights. She would take hamburger buns, grind up SPAM and add mayo and pickle relish to it; then heap the SPAM onto the open-faced buns and BROIL them so they had a hard crust on top.  

Even now the thought makes me gag, and of course, we had to eat TWO halves instead of one whole.  Then we would eat them on TV trays in front of Lassie, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color (in B & W) and Ed Sullivan!

@Street Smart,

Drat! I really wanted to go to that. (Truth be told, one of the rare terrible cooks in my family loved spam. And as a kid, before I knew any better, when I went to visit, she would often make me fried spam sandwiches on gummy white bread from A&P. It was just as good as her other speciality: boiled ring bologna. I loved her to death, but she really made me appreciate the cooking of my mom and my surly German grandmother.)

Years ago I heard about the Grand Central Station Men's Room Diet.  You can eat anything you want in any quantity, but it has to be consumed in the men's room of Grand Central.

Spotted dick in the Grand Central Men's Room?  The mind reels!
