Interesting, but not interesting enough to make me go there again- once was enough- foul food.

KFC food is more fowl.

We don't do any of the fast food chains, I like to have some flavour in my food.

I prefer Hungry Jacks to Maccas and KFC.
I've currently boycotted KFC for their disgusting advertising using words like "gooder, goodest and goodification".
It really grates on my nerves when I hear it.
It's just so wrong to use these words in advertising aimed at kids and their parents.
The media has a responsiblity, and this is a clear indication of abuse of responsibility.
I've even logged complaints to the relevant authorities but they hand ball it to the next bloke.
What hope do we have.

I still have horror memories of Big Ben pies in NSW and the stuff you found in them, no wonder they called them Surprise Bags......glad I don't eat meat anymore!  Do like vege pies and rolls though...

 Nor do I, apart from Subway occasionally.  I do have a weakness for the occasional meat pie from a local bakery.

I like Subways or Oporto Chicken.. I don't mind the occasional maggot bag providing it comes from a decent pie shop, not mrs mac's or the like.

When I'm on the road I consider it my duty to be chief pie taster will travel.
I've only been disappointed a couple of times, more to do with the poor pastry rather than poor contents.

____________________________________________________ same here Jimricho. Best pies we have had were from Morgan SA Bakery, Tassie scallop pies, green lipped pies in NZ and pies from the Winton info centre. But must admit Subway anywhere is great taste and value especially is you stick to their basic subs. Cheers Glenda
