Ok. So, the failure pile in a sadness bowl now has bacon.
I love potatoes. Irish on one side, east euro potato farmers on the other; I never stood a chance. I’d eat potatoes raw if it weren’t so gross.
I love gravy.
I love cheese.
I love chicken almost as much as potatoes, and that goes double for fried chicken.
I love corn, shucked through popped.
I love bacon.
How the hell did KFC manage to make something combining all of that that makes even MY arteries-made-of-string-cheese scream “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” ?
At the very least, this is a waste of good bacon. At BEST, something we should be sending to starving African villages. Surely two of these could maintain a decent caloric intake for several of them for a week or two. :smack:
This item features a hand-pressed beef patty topped with creamy Mac ‘n Cheese, melted cheddar cheese and Frisco sauce on grilled potato bread. The sandwich is served with wavy-cut French fries as a side (as shown in the picture above)."
I think the calorie count for that is over 1000, but I don’t remember. My arteries are screaming, until I remind them that I’ve eaten poutine.
More like You eat that shit, clog up your arteries and overburden your heart and then; :eek: heart attack when you are taking a shit. Not a very lucky way…
The KFC bowls to begin with are the most disgusting thing offered by any restaurant in the US. It’s taking the leftover scrapings of a meal and putting them into a bowl instead of the garbage where it belongs. I can’t even look at it without retching. And that’s even before you start thinking about the calories and fat.
Adding bacon doesn’t make any difference: it’s still disgusting.
Sorry, but that thing is an abomination before the lord. This nonsense of putting crap on funnel cake has got to stop. The only thing you should put on top of a funnel cake is a healthy dusting of powdered sugar. Then you need to eat it immediately while it is so hot it almost burns your fingers, because of course you are eating it with your fingers, from a paper plate that is becoming transparent from the grease. No syrup, no ice cream, and most definitely no bacon. Flodnak has spoken.
Gawd, I remember when these first came out. Minus the bacon I guess. Me and the SO thought it had potential as we like all the ingredients so we swung by on a trip to the lake to have something to eat for lunch while there. But the gravy was crap. The mashed potatos were crap. There were only trace amounts of cheese and corn. Not much meat either. The bowl was fairly small. And it wasn’t even cheap! Total letdown.
I can feel my arteries hardening just reading that. Reminds me of a weekly dish I grew up eating.
We called it heart attack pork. Not too original, I know. But we would fry those super thin pork chops in lard and lemon, to the point of almost jerky, cause pink pork would kill ya, doncha know. Then we would pour the grease over rice and eat it. We so loved it.
I can’t even imagine eating it now.
Speaking of which, they mentioned the KFC bowl on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me this past weekend – in order to promptly follow up with mention of Outback Steakhouse’s appetizer of choice, the Cheese Fries With Ranch Dressing that clock in at 182 grams of fat, 240 grams of carbs, and 2,900 calories.
Yeah . . . KFC gets a bad rap, but most of the meals at chain, sit-down places (Outback, Chili’s, Applebee’s, etc) put fast food to shame on the calorie count.
I was at Uno’s with friends a month or so ago, and now that they’ve got calorie counts on the menu, I was surprised at how few appetizers there were that clocked in at under 800 calories.
I’ll see if I can find it, I think Nate Silver did the analysis, but there was a study which proved that, based upon its serving size, the KFC double decker sandwich was the absolute worst menu item for you of any fast food restaurant.
