@nepia I’m the early 70s we used to get a bag of chips every Monday night on the way home from judo. Our mat fee was 10c each and the chips were 6c.

Is that a NZ menu and from when? 1970s?

Edit; Also no chips back then.

Chips must have followed quickly because my earliest KFC memories in the late 70s definitely involves fries

We never had KFC as Dad didn't like it. I think I actually had it once and it was heaven! I knew it was going to be the last time as a family meal as Dad grumbled the whole way through. I vaguely remember lining up at the Ham East KFC and there was a long and orderly queue. Happy happy days.

The Hutt was like greasy central back in the 70s. I remember my folks taking me to Maccas very early on. And my grandparents lived just down the road from KFC. They made me into the foodie I am today 😋

Haha. We used to do the Thrift BOx. Came through the hole in the wall sometime after the cashier asked for it through the microphone (in Kensington, Whangarei).

Fun fact. That original KFC building was built on the site of where Newberry’s Funeral Home used to be and at first there was some resistance in getting Maori people to eat there.

Ha ha! I forgot we weren't in that.

I have such a love/hate relationship with K fries. Sometimes it tastes absolutely wonderful, other times you feel really crook from all the grease…..I know it’s bad for you so I do try and avoid it wherever possible but I just wish it was consistent ( like Maccas is )

[taniwharugby]

@mn5 I had KFC for the first time in probably 10 years a few weeks back, but was a zinger burger.

As I have mentioned before, IMO the best chicken was the stuff near the end of its allowed time in the warmer.

The KFC special herbs and spices comes prepared in a package, then mixed with flour before starting the breading of the chicken.

I don't purchase KFC anymore. I rank fast food outlets by their instore cleanliness and KFC always looks dirtier than others. Except Red Rooster.

In the past I would have agreed but I found myself wandering central Auckland after our work do in the wee small hours, I didn’t eat nearly enough finger food so was pretty hungry and BK was open. The scenes were absolutely feral and I felt sorry for the little Indian staff members behind the counter dealing with all the drunken munters. Food, wrappers etc were strewn everywhere but fair to say the workstations were bloody grim too.
