Here's something to blow your mind, KFC in the US don't sell chips (fries) only wedges.. and in the UK they have chips but no chicken salt on them.. My friend and I used to run home and pour on the chicken salt before the chips got cold (we had her mum send it over) !!
I have to say I was very confused my first time in an American KFC, standing there wondering "Where's the chips? I want a combo with chips! I don't get it!" I didn't have quite the same reaction as butter lady though lol! Especially as I said all that in my head, I just stared at the menu with a stupid look on my face!
"You're perfect yes it's true, but without meeeee you're only you!"
Heh, in canada, they have fries but not wedges, and they don't serve corn on the cob. Its pretty much mashed potatoes, salad, macaroni and cheese, and buns not biscuits. I like the buns better than the biscuits.
Damn. Now I miss some real kfc fries and buns. Haven't had any in at least four years, and I live in the US now.
Down here they sell, in addition to the standard chicken:
-Small and large chips.
-Sweet Potato chips (for a while)
-Coleslaw.
-Potato and Gravy.
-Dinner Rolls. (you get that with the 2 or 3 piece feed)
-Sara Lee Cheesecake thingies.
-Krushers. (slushies)
The UK version is pre-wrapped as well, from the last time I ate there. I very much suspect that it arrives to the place ready to slam into the oven and cook, so no chance of extra butter/oil etc.
not to threadjack, but THIS! I hate the fact that we don't get those delicious biscuits here in Canada. I always make sure to stop at a KFC whenver I'm in the US.
The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.
They're pretty much the same thing. Just different words for them. The difference is that they aren't sweet at all. At least that I can taste.
The KFC buns they have in Canada are closer to scones than what the Americans refer to as biscuits. In Canada they always have a slightly sweet taste, I think due to the butter they brush on top, it must have a tiny touch of sugar. They also don't fall apart easily, you have to rip them apart.
To me, the biscuits in the US are incredibly dry and rather bland. They flake to pieces almost the moment you grab them. I don't like them much because of that.

I mentioned before that a friend of mine works for KFC in the UK, and he told me how they cook the corn in the cob. They put the corn in a little bag with a stick sticking out the end, and they then pour, what he described as "butter oil" into the bag and microwave.
It looks like this irate woman has gone up and demanded more butter, but they can't really help her because they don't actually have any butter to give her.
You'd be surprised at how much of KFCs food is actually properly, freshly cooked.
