Had my first KFC Double Down yesterday

[Ratty]

Wow, was it gross. I could only take one bite before giving it away. I really couldn't taste the innards, it was just a big wad o' meat in my mouth. They were out of the crispy variety so I stupidly chose grilled. Maybe that was why it was so gross.

[BurtWorm]

1. Miracle Whip would help.

Don't tone it down. Whip it up. Whip it good.

[Lucian]

7. Miracle Whip is an abomination.

Mayo is the only way to go.

[muffin1]

12. +1

From another mayonnaise purist. I know someone who actually uses Miracle Whip LIGHT. What the hell is up with that?

[BurtWorm]

14. That is not toning it down a little toned down.

;-)

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

37. Miracle Whip is the work of the devil (nt)

[yankeepants]

15. Hold it right there.

I belong to a group of closet Miracle Whip lovers. We are folks who were raised on Hellman's and were always told about the evils of MW but we all would go to our MW friend's homes and enjoy the sweet nastiness that is Miracle Whip. There is nothing like it.

I want it now!!!!!!

[ceile]

2. Is that bacon and chz between two fried pieces of chk?

oh, that's just gross.....

[namahage]

4. Don't forget the "Colonel's Sauce"!

http://www.kfc.com/nutrition/pdf/kfc_ingredients_apr10.pdf

Colonel’s Sauce
Soybean Oil, Water, Distilled Vinegar, Egg Yolk, Sugar, Salt, Modified Corn Starch, Paprika, Xanthan Gum, Monosodium Glutamate, Spice, Chicken Broth, Garlic Powder, Propylene Glycol Alginate, Potassium Sorbate, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Soy Sauce (Soybean, Wheat, Salt), Natural Flavor, Chicken Fat, Dehydrated Chicken and Hydrolyzed Corn Gluten.

[Initech]

11. OMG!!!! Chicken fat is an ingredient in the fucking sauce????

:wtf: :puke:

[Sebastian Doyle]

21. Makes sense, when you think about it.

When you're KFC, what do you have the most of at the end of the day?

Chicken fat, of course.


It's kinda like Wendy's taking the hamburgers they have left at the end of the day and using them for the next day's chili. Only even more gross.

[PBS Poll-435]

35. At least it is near the end of the list...

:yoiks:

[XemaSab]

24. .

:puke:

[tango-tee]

46. I wonder what in the hell is "Propylene Glycol Alginate"?

Among all the other junk on the list, that sounds like an explosive. Good grief, the junk we're ingesting. Let me stick with cigs and booze. At least I *know* what I'm killing myself with.

[brendan120678]

3. Even watching the commercials for those...

makes me gag, thinking about what a big, greasy mess they probably are.

[Dappleganger]

5. It looks like a turd sandwich...

how could anyone possibly eat one of those??

[Ratty]

6. Thankfully, they're quite small

Even I won't touch one of their KFC Famous Bowls. Like vomit and diarrhea topped with corn and gravy, if you ask me.



On edit: Mmmmm, here's an even TASTIER picture of one:



I totally forgot about all that yummy CHEESE on top. My mouth is sooo watering right now!

[Bertha Venation]

9. This is why I have always called this the vomit bowl.

:puke:

[msanthrope]

16. "A failure pile in a sadness bowl." Patton Oswalt, on the KFC Famous Bowls. n/t

[Initech]

39. That looks half-digested already.

:puke:

[aquattro_660]

8. oh man

just looking at it makes my heart hurt

[name not needed]

10. Just had one and I hate myself for it.

I think eventually KFC is gonna invent a chicken shake. Nothing but liquefied fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, bacon and cheese in a cup with a giant straw.

[Initech]

13. Remember that episode of Seinfeld where Steinbrenner trades George to Tyler Chicken ?

Dogs, twists, some kind of fermented chicken drink... :rofl:

[tango-tee]

18. OMG. I'm trying to think of a sound to represent the liquefied chicken concoction.

It would have to be a mélange of "aaargh-eew-wrrzlbrm-pfffft". Ooooh. My gall bladder is acting up just from me thinking about that.

Think I'll forego dinner tonight and go to bed hungry. I'll maybe have a nice cup of lukewarm mint tea. Thanks, bud.

[name not needed]

19. The sound you're looking for is the sound of congenital heart failure.

[tango-tee]

20. Indeed.

Here I am, a smoker and a person who also likes to have a drink and eat fatty foods (European! We haven't caught on to all the latest in preventive medicine yet!), but HOLY COW! Brrrrrr.

[name not needed]

30. My body can handle massive amounts of booze, drugs, and cigarettes

but two bites of that fried monstrosity was too much.

[tango-tee]

40. I can imagine....

So let's you and I stick to what we KNOW is bad for us, but which at least is enjoyable while it lasts...

:smoke:

[lunatica]

17. It could probably feed a family of three or four

[HopeHoops]

22. And you're still alive?

:shrug:

[guitar man]

23. I just ate my first one

With the crispy chicken....I have to say, I liked it :P

it's certainly not something I'd eat all the time though :crazy:

[Ratty]

25. Yeah, I should try it once more just to be impartial

I think the grilled chicken was at least 30% of the grossness.

[guitar man]

29. I don't think I'd like that either

It doesn't sound very appealing with the grilled chicken, the crispy fried chicken is a big part of the experience :P

[hippywife]

26. Wasn't it just a tad

sloppy to eat? It looks like it would be from the pic someone posted in another thread.

Howdy, L! :hi:

[guitar man]

27. Hi hw !

:hi:

yeah, it was a little sloppy, but I think that's at least part of why I liked it :D

[Inchworm]

28. Why is everyone so scared of these?

They look yummy! I don't really "do" fast food, but I'd pull over to try one of these.

:9

[gmoney]

31. It's sort of along the lines of chicken cordon bleu, no?

Just assembled differently, with bacon in place of ham. Eat it with a knife and fork maybe?

IIRC, Arby's used to have a Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich that was actually pretty good. Tons of salt, I'm sure, but tasty.

[Arugula Latte]

32. I would never even set foot inside a KFC. Even driving by one makes me want to hurl.

x(

[MadBadger]

33. I plan on getting it, but only through drive-thru. And I'll only eat it in the comfort of my home

Id be embarrassed to be eating it otherwise.

[rcrush]

45. Have to eat that thing sitting on the toilet

[namahage]

34. Wonder how it stacks up to those other sandwiches?

ITEM                SIZE (g)  CALORIES  FAT (g)
-----------         --------  --------  -------
KFC Double Down       241       540       32
McDonald's Big Mac    214       540       29    
BK Whopper w/cheese   315       760       39

[mycatfred]

36. Oh, lovely.

I love the mac & cheese and the mashed potatoes, and that is it.
Even looking at that make me want to take a shower and then wash my dog (who really needs a bath).

[Robeson]

38. It looks gross as shit.

[MiddleFingerMom]

41. I make homemade versions...

.
...of the infamous "vomit bowl" that are actually quite good.
.
Boneless, skinless large diced chicken breast, mashed potatoes,
peas, cheddar, and usually some ranch dressing. Looks pretty
good -- tastes MUCH better.
.
Looking at Ratty's OP -- "big wad o' meat".
.
Suddenly turned into Homer Simpson, shuddering and moaning,
"M-m-m-m-m-m, big wad o' meat."
,

[Quantess]

42. I think that is disrespectful to the chickens

to end up in such a horrid dish.

[Missy Vixen]

43. I'm fat, and I won't even eat that stuff

Yuck. Of course, that's my opinion.

The only fast food we do now is Bellevue, WA's Burgermaster. Locally sourced products, no trans-fat, grass-fed beef with no hormones or additives.

It costs more, but it's worth every penny.

[Lasher]

44. Looks like it needs gravy.

It's already got bacon.

[Brigid]

47. I saw a commercial for that just today.

For the first time. Ugh. x(
