After a couple of years of self-imposed junk food ban I decided to stop for KFC on the way home. The electronic order board thingy had to be poked a few times before it deigned to take my order but otherwise worked well. But I noticed no one else that came in after me used them and just ordered at the counter. Was I doing the weird thing, or were they?
The wrap seemed smaller than I remember and much more cabbagey. The chips were undersalted and lacking even a hint of crunch. A bit underwhelming and I'll be happy to abstain from fast food for another few years I think.
I'm always so utterly disappointed when I "treat myself" to some fast food. Never tasted as good as I hoped.
There was something in ozbargain today about a large snack pack and I gotta be honest I’ve never been more sold on anything in my life for under 10 bucks!
I only get wicked wings from there now. They heat up so well in the airfryer.
I did not know wings (wicked or not) were a thing at KFC. I am afraid my menu knowledge is limited and I just looked for a picture of something that looked vaguely familiar🤣

I wait until they are on special and buy up big. I make my own chips and potato & gravy that way they are always hot.
I’ll pick at Boyo’s chips but otherwise don’t touch the stuff. The abomination they call gravy is so salty you might as well suck stock cubes.
Ditto. So damned salty you can't actually taste the ingredients. This may be a good thing ...
If there is an ingredient in it that isn’t a Number I shall be astonished.
Haven’t had KFC in many years. I remember it being rubbish and don’t imagine it’s improved. Local chicken shops are so much better, and many of them do wraps and burgers as well as the standard rotisserie chicken. And chips are always fresh cooked. They can take my money instead.
I forgot - hot and spicy KFC isn't an everyday thing in Melbourne. Only available occasionally and as wings/burgers.
I almost never have KFC myself, but when I do, it's usually hot and spicy. It's just part of the regular menu in WA.
This is also the first time I've heard of any fast food chips described as "undersalted".
