What a time to be alive!!!

Two bacon and cheese zinger burgers has been part of my hangover recovery for years now.

I bought a large pack of KFC original and chilled it down the night before the CWC game at Eden Park NZ vs Oz. I am sure everyone was jealous when we rocked that out, nothing like cold K Fried. Lately I have been getting the 20 pack of wicked wings instead of original. It even comes in a bucket

The aftermath is always a let down though. Once you had your way with the breast and the leg, there's just a greasy old box to put your bone in.
No, wait. is that KFC or an Essex girl? Oh I'm confused now.
Guys it's shit. However there are times when only shit will do.

The trouble with KFC is it smells 10x better than it tastes. I have suffered KFC remorse on many occasions (although I've always liked the chips dunked in plain gravy) because so often the chicken coating is either under cooked greasy or over cooked teeth cracker. And the burger buns are so stale you could use them as building foundation. And the multi coloured lettuce, UGH.

so much this.
Also Paraparaumu kfc would be the slowest and worst tasting I've ever encountered.

@canefan could be, the pram one is staffed by teenagers who seem more interested in chatting to their mates. I haven't tried the Poririua one but given the locals appetite for fried chicken I'd say they have an awesome turnover.
Turangi Burger king and Paraparaumu burger king would be two of the filthiest fast food places I've been to. I'm not surprised the Pram one closed down, I didn't go in their much but every time I did the floor was sticky with filth and the kids playground looked like pretty rank.

Heathens. Ain't nowt better on an early hungover morning than a fridge mac. A pocket burger (cheese) never goes unwelcome at the end of a big night too.
Nah nothing better when in the UK than hitting the Kebab shop at the end of the night.
Always order two
Always wake up in the morning with the second unopened in the bottom of your jacket pocket sitting proudly on a sea of congealed fat.
Brekkie time!

@Mokey I have no idea how anyone can over cook KFC, the way they do it means that if they are overcooking it, they and half the people working there are pretty damn shit cos everyone in the shop can hear when a basket is ready to come out of the oil.
The more greasy stuff is usually the fresh stuff, as the warmers they keep them in have water to keep it moist but they lose a lot of the oil they are cooked in.
I haven't had KFC for years, but I get that same remorse everyone else does, it smells so good, you eat it, then after you feel all bleh...do like the Zinger burgers though.
Kebabs are awesome, have a good shop in town, have one most weeks, don't seem anywhere near as unhealthy as the ones I had in the UK though.

@jegga Hamilton Central Burger King used to be ok, but now it is dirty, the service is shocking (slow and rude), and the food is either cold or dried out as fuck.
A few of the Hungry Jacks/BKs here went the same after the original franchisee sold it on for profit. The new managers are typically from overseas and training + retention isn't their strong suit.

A mate of mine is on holiday in Japan at the moment - he just told me about MOSDO - a combined MOS Burger / Mister Donut store. I wee'd in my pants a little when I saw this
The savory burger is the “Curly” Chorizo, which is spicy chorizo sausage, MOS chili sauce, lettuce and tomato on a French Cruller donut. The dessert burger is the Berry Chocolate, a French Cruller topped with a crispy chocolate disk, mixed berries, strawberry whipped cream and mango sauce.
