I tried Simply Sara's Pasta Salad......AND LIVED!!!!!

If you don’t have a Vietnamese coffee filter, make espresso. Mix some SCM with the coffee, and then stir it into a glass of ice.

Anyone?

The KFC coleslaw is not green, except for maybe a few bits of green cabbage. KFC coleslaw is pre-chewed, so there’s mince like pieces of cabbage and carrots swimming in a milky substance that tastes like tangy sweetened milk.

I hate the stuff, it so looks like somebody took a spoonful of regular coleslaw, found that there was found that there was far too much sugar in it for their liking and spit it right back into the KFC container.

KFC coleslaw in Canada is green and comes in a vinegar-type sauce. As mentioned, it’s like a translucent (unnatural) type of green: like it was dyed.

I’m surprised to find out there’s a difference between the two countries. Why would there be a difference? Marketing is a really weird science.

I thought she did a fine job as The Great Goblin in The Hobbit.

US version…

Yep. There’s a difference all right. I think I would prefer the US version. Why the hell would an international chain keep two different variants of the same salad anyway?

It’s not like Canadians have any really strange taste differences compared to Americans. Someone should email the Colonel and ask for an explanation. Actually I think I might. Just not tonight.

Absolutely. I LOVE IT in coffee. Very caramelly tasting result, yum, no extra milk or sugar needed. In fact, if you have a place with coffee available but no fridge space <like, work> a can of this at your desk well makes up for not having liquid creamer, if that’s what you like.
Just so yum :slight_smile:

It pretty much is. I used to see it at Asian buffets, and I was always a little leery of eating something with heated-up mayonnaise in it. So I’d pass it by. Then a friend took our family out to this Chinese restaurant that he’d been raving about and insisted that we try the Honey Walnut Shrimp.

So it’s like a marketing thing.

Hi there! I wanted to make a post here because I have never come acroos anyone who has made any one of Simply Sara’s recipes as well. So, I wanted to comment on them.

First of all, after watching the macaroni salad recipe, I can tell you, I have no desire to ever make it, so we’ll just get that out of the way right now. The 2 recipes I did try are the taco cups and spinach and sun-dried tomato stuffed chicken breasts.

Ok, the taco cups: I thought it was very bad idea to use biscuits as the taco bowls, but I wanted to brave a SS recipe, so I gave it a try. The recipe would have been fine by itself if you just used recular tacos, actual taco tortilla bowls, NOT BISCUITS! I couldn’t get past the flavor of the biscuits with the stuffing mixture. YUCK! Will never make it again.

The spinach and sun-dried tomato stuffed chicken breasts: IMO, I think her recipe calls for way too much sundried tomatoes. Or instead of that, just leave out the sun dried tomato vinagarette because it was just too tangy. The whole stuffed chicken breast just also seemed waaaay too much, and I couldn’t finish it all, but overall, it was good…even my hubby liked it, so I will probably make this again. Also instead of just stuffing the breasts, you can pound them out flat, fill with the mixture, and roll them up.

Other than that, I applaud you for having the bravery to try that disastrous macaroni salad. For the amount of salad she was making, I would have used at most 3-4 tablespoons of mayo, just enough to keep the noodles moist. And I about wanted to puke when I saw a whole jar of mayo and a can of sweetened condensed milk in it.

I decided to revive this zombie to say that leftover SCM can also be made into dulce de leche in an Instant Pot. Cover the can with foil, and put it on a rack at the 45 minute setting, and let it natural release.

RIP Sara.

Too bad I don’t have that half-can of SCM anymore.

But at least we have confirmed that you not only lived after eating Simply Sara’s Pasta Salad, you’ve made it twelve years!
