Yes, yes, a thousand times YES! KFC gravy is what they put on mashed potatoes in Heaven. I sometimes cut the chicken off the bone, dump the taters-n-gavy on a plate, crumble up the biscuit, and stir it all together. Now that’s some good eatin’!
Oh, BlackKnight, excellent rant!

I’m thinking you’re a fucking three headed mutant if you don’t want to drop trou and make love to KFC’s crispy strips, the finest chicken strips in the world.
Followed very very closely by Arby’s.

I’m sorry, KFC biscuts are simply inedible. You should have threatened the cute girl with forcing her to eat their dry, nasty biscuts for failing to bring your potato wedges promptly.
KFC potato wedges are excellent though. KFC potato wedges dipped in the wonderful light brown mush that is KFC mashed potatos thoroughly mixed with KFC gravy… divine.
And they even re-heat well!

You ain’t missing a thing.
The OP was funny, but I read this, then had to go back and read it aloud, get the inflection right, and make the proper hand motions, to get the full effect. Great work.
Guess you wouldn’t want to here about the old KFC in my home which was shut down when they found a teenager adding there own special touch to the cole slaw.
Bravo, BlackKnight, Bravo!
What are potato wedges? Some kind of pituitary-freak french fry?
– Uke, who fries his own chickens at home, and puts them on the table with butter beans and cornbread, the way God intended
Very funny rant, BlackKnight.
Only time I ever ate KFC was in Copenhagen, and let me tell you it was the grossest thing I’d had in a while. Maybe they have better standards over here, but man, I felt sick-full way past dinner
And they didn’t have any wedges either I don’t think
Uke – have you ever seen an apple slicer, the kind you push down through the apple, which cuts the apple into wedges while removing the core? Imagine the same device, but without the corer in the center, pushed down through a potato. Then imagine the wedges deep fried. That is a potato wedge.
To compare them to the vastly, vastly inferior french fry is a work of blasphemy.
Now, mind you, I’ve never had a KFC wedge, but if they’re 1/2 as good as my own, they’re damned fine.
The title alone was a treat. Hee Hee. Spork in neck
girlish titter
PunditLisa, you might not be so happy about the KFC coleslaw if you knew how it was made. Thanks to a dark past I’d rather not talk about here, I do know… and it ain’t pretty. I can hardly look at the stuff now, unless I’m starving.
Still like the chicken, though, and can’t resist the biscuits when dipped in the gravy. Strangely, KFC gravy sucks on the mashed potatoes, but is ideal for biscuits.
Food of the Gods, though? Ahh, now that would be the Crispy Strips or the wedges (or even better, both!) dipped in KFC Honey-Mustard sauce… I’ll drop trou for that. grin
Damn fine rant, BlackKnight. You set a standard to be aspired to.
I am not a big fan of potatoes, but I must say, this rant was one of the most entertaining things I have read all day. You tell a great story. I am glad your suffering paid off in such a beneficial manner. May potato wedges flow freely in your future.
I’ve never seen “potato wedges” used so many times.
Great post, funniest thing I’ve seen all day.

How is the KFC coleslaw made? You really got me wondering. I must know!
The KFC here used to be good before they got new management. now the biscuits are rock-solid and the buffett line is never full. The chicken is still the same, though. I’ve never had the potato wedges there. Might need to try them.
Blackknight makes a very good point here: KFC potato wedges are actually VERY good. Crisp and slightly spicy on the outside, moist and tender inside; it’s the stuff that dreams are made of.
You are, of course, free to indulge in whatever suits your gastronomic fancy. I, however, much prefer the sublime pleasure of Popeye’s Spicy Chicken with a side of red beans & rice and a much tastier, buttery biscuit. In my not so humble opinion, KFC pales in comparison.
