KFC is definitely not as good as it used to be, but the hot & spicy is still delicious. A few years back they did it with a nashville sauce which was just about the nicest thing I have ever tasted, but they haven't done it since which is very annoying. The Zinger double downs are good as well when they are doing them. They'd be a lot better if they just did those items all year round - what the fuck is with only sometimes doing the nicest stuff on the menu?!

On burgers - the Jamie Oliver 'Insanity Burger' recipe is one of the best I've made. Messy though.

Another thing which makes me grumpy - burgers so bloody big you have to dislocate your jaw to eat them. Comfort food my arse.

@Kruse being quite flash I use a knife and fork to cut them up into manageable bits.
Unless drunk, in which case it's messier than a kebab.
Which brings me to another commandment: People who don't like a kebab shall be rounded up.
Eating a burger with a knife and fork is grounds for banishment. Disgusting behaviour...
Perhaps we'll meet up for a bite to eat sometime. I'll be the one in the clean shirt.

Clean shirt, seated alone, sipping a pimms?

@antipodean nothing better than going for a wander on Sunday afternoon and following the trail you left behind from your doner meat and chips with chilli and garlic sauce from the night/morning before.
I might be biased though.

Considering the alternative, not a bad choice… 😀

@Bones Kiwi Doner and UK Doner are totally different beasts though.
Waking up in the UK with your coat pocket full of a mixture of congealed fat, chilli sauce and sliced cabbage from the second doner you were too pissed to eat is a rite of passage.
I'm also over the too big, too flash, trying too hard concept burger thing. I've only had one I can say that I truly enjoyed in the last few years and I'm convinced that was just good luck as I've tried the same place a couple of times again and the burger was... disappointing.
I did find a new craft beer place in the neighbourhood at the weekend (which led to a grand though messy Saturday. Imperial pints at 8.1% quickly became a 'good thing' and led to a mini pub crawl for the next several hours).
Anyway they had a taco food truck which had proper slow cooked birria taco's which were obviously a labour of love. I got two for less than the price of a 'gourmet' burger and which packed way more flavour with zero mess.

No, it fucking well isn't. It's one of those cringe moments which will haunt you forever.

Tradies. FUCK tradies. Utterly hopeless with communication and then have the hide to bitch about the price of fuel etc. when they know it's a tax writeoff.
I'd happily drop another 10% on the job if it meant I could get you to reply to my messages, turn up on time, and let me know if something is up with your availability.
Pardon me for paying for your next jetski, you fluffybunnies.

@NTA You're getting the wrong taco's. One of the things I like about them compared to a burger is that they do hold together and you don't face the same mess. Because the 'bread' component is so light you can have more of them with less filling in each and still be better off than with a burger.
Speaking of which; I have mentioned this before, but there should be a special ring of hell reserved for fucking brioche burgers.
