Southern US Cuisine: Fried Chicken Big Hit With Royals

[William]

On CBS This Morning, there was a story about a Chef from the Southern
part of the United States who is cooking in the UK and his Fried
Chicken is a big hit with the British Royal Family. I thought Kentucky
Fried Chicken invaded the British Isles years ago? I bet this Southern
Chef has the Brits eating Grits!

Even if KFC has been in the UK for a long time, that doesn't mean the Royals ever ate it.
I can see it now: A new reality show, "Brits Eating Grits."

I haven't either, but I like polenta. From what I hear, they're
similar - but not the same.

I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into
the “alleged” lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert

Dynasty – I refer to them as the Bush Family Crime Syndicate, certainly
not in terms of endearment – but rather more like the Mafia Godfather
who prepares his sons to take over the family business upon his death.
This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor
of Veterans Today.

In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every
clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within
the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the
CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to
the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that
hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he
helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose
family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3)
ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took
office.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_chicken#History

Fritters have existed in Europe since the middle ages.[3] The Scots, and
later Scottish immigrants to the southern United States, had a tradition
of deep frying chicken in fat, unlike their English counterparts who
baked or boiled chicken

Fried Chicken originated from Scotland...

A new model of the actual planetary driver of pedophile and ritual

The Transhumanist Agenda model of pedophilia and child abuse networks is
more accurate and factual than a prior model of pedophilia that focuses
sole blame on Churches [such as the Vatican] or Monarchies [such as the
UK, Dutch, or Belgian Throne]. This prior model of pedophile networks
actually diverts attention away from Transhumanist Agenda, which is the
actual current planetary driver of pedophile and ritual sacrifice networks.

We're a land of immigrants, so everything was invented elsewhere.
What else is new? Frikadellen is closer to meatloaf than it is to an
American style burger and Belgians fries are not served the American
way. Theirs are served with flavored mayonnaise. Oh, joy.

should you believe Bush's new found compassion? Should you believe any
of the Bush family, no matter what they say? Would you ever believe a

Remember his daddy's "Kinder and Gentler Nation"? Did any of you notice
any improvement in the treatment of those who the Republicans are so
fond of reviling; the poor and single women and working women and
children and the elderly and the disabled? Nope, neither did I. Do you
believe for a moment that sonny boy has any intention of actually doing
anything but just mouthing those words until election day and then
falling back into the mean spirited, hateful, despicable ways of all
Republican politicians? Nope, neither do I.

Okay, let's spend a few minutes doing what the corporately owned media
has no intention of doing; factually looking at the criminal record that
the entire Bush family has loosed upon America and her citizens. History
is a far better indicator of a person's future actions than any
ludicrous promises or political platforms during an election. Careful,
though, this type of honest examination that always precedes the usual
death threats and taunts of "liar, liar, pants on fire." As Mort Sahl
once said about Ronald Reagan, "When I quote him, I'm accused of
slandering him."

Let's begin with George W. Bush, Sr., shall we?

Just to refresh your memory, it was Bush who, during his failed 1980 run
for the Presidency, labeled Reagan's twisted "Trickle Down Theory" as
"voodoo economics" and then, once chosen as the feeble-minded old man's
running mate, spent the next twelve years pretending to accept the lie.
It was during his successful 1988 Presidential campaign that he
proclaimed "Read my lips! No new taxes!" but, well, you get the picture.

Many records have come to light since the Iran-Contra hearings that
strongly support the accusation that then Vice-President Bush was not
"Out of the loop", as he repeatedly claimed, but was fully aware of the
illegal arms shipments to Iran and also of the drugs that were being
imported into the poorest neighborhoods in America by the terrorists he
and Reagan were illegally supporting in Nicaragua. The world will never
know the truth, of course, because one of Bush's last acts as President
was to pardon everyone related to these high crimes and misdemeanors.

There has also been reports that he was protecting major drug dealers in
the Mideast who were also acting as informants. These dealers were
passing on military and political information regarding such nations as
Syria and Iraq in exchange for that protection.

It has long been known that it was at Bush's request that Brett
Kimberlin, a convicted small time drug dealer, was placed in solitary
confinement for the entire 1988 presidential election cycle. Why such a
harsh punishment for such a small time crook? Because Kimberlin had
stated in an NBC interview that he had been the source for the monthly
marijuana purchases of one Dan Quayle and that he had made Quayle and
his new blushing, conservative bride, Marilyn, a wedding present of
hashish and marijuana which, it goes without saying, was consumed and
not reported to the local police.

Finally, there was once evidence that George Bush may have been the
celebrated "Deep-Throat" of Watergate fame. That evidence, however, has
long since been destroyed. (1)

The boys of the Bush family have some truly dirty laundry, as well.

Beginning with John "Jeb" Bush, now governor of Florida, we find that he
assisted Miguel Recarey, a fugitive now living in Spain, to steal over
$200 million from International Medical Centers, the HMO Recarey owned,
by using Jeb's father's influence to acquire a waiver for the HMO of the
standard rule of 50-50 (meaning that at least 50% of an HMO's clients
cannot be Medicare patients but must be full paying clients). This theft
left 150,000 elderly Americans without medical coverage. Oh, and by the
way, Recarey had paid Jeb Bush's company a $75,000 "real-estate
consultant fee". All totaled, Recarey embezzled over $1 billion in
Medicare funds through false billings and outright theft.

A Brit eating KFC would be pretty funny. There were a bunch of KFCs in
the areas of the UK that I passed through. A lot of them were not
franchises but they just used "KFC" anyway. The KFC branding is some
powerful juju over there. Sadly, I did not get to eat any KFC in London.

True, but polenta was made from other grains (and probably still is).
Of course, boiling grain into mush is hardly cutting-edge
culinary innovation, so I don't think anybody can really claim its
invention. It probably was invented shortly before agriculture,
when people were still gathering grains in the wild.

A little too much grease for this culinary nouveau riche. I'll stick
with just salt, or occasionally a sprinkling of malt vinegar.

Of course, if it's sweet potato fries, a dusting of powdered chipotle
pepper is more than welcome.

That shows you have a functional sense of taste.

There is much better fried chicken than KFC, and better burgers than
McDonald's goes without saying. I recently read some food writer
who said (I paraphrase) that when you want a burger, don't go to
McDonald's, but if you're craving McDonald's, only that will satisfy.

Crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside, salty potato. It's a thing

Um well....

There are many ways to deep-fry a potato, but at the stands I visited,
the basics were universal: Long strips of Bintje potato, sliced on site
to maybe a third-of-an-inch thickness, prefried in beef tallow, then
fried again to order. Served in overflowing cardboard cones wrapped in
paper, eaten with tiny forks and topped with the customer’s choice of at
least a dozen sauces, most mayonnaise-based.

I chose the sauce Andalouse — mayonnaise, tomato paste, peppers — which,
also predictably added a flavor kick (and fat kick, as if that were
necessary).

Really? I ate KFC on 2 occasions over 35 years ago and each time
I suffered the most godawful indigestion. I haven't bothered since.

Somebody's eating that chicken on your island. Well, at least in the part I was in - I never got to go to Scotland. Shocking as it may seem, the KFC density was greater in London that in Honolulu. The times I spotted a KFC was incomprehensible. I thought you guys only ate fishes and mammals.

The thing about McDonald's is that one does not go there to savor the food. We go there because we're damn hungry, don't want to spend a lot of dough, and we need food fast. We lack the time and energy to seek out something even a little better. It fits our immediate requirements for someplace reliable and predictable.

Actually, I'm surprised you've never eaten at a McDonald's before - after all, you live in Scotland. Hee hee.

They are popular everywhere here, but I can't believe I am the only one who
doesn't like it. If you come up to Scotland you will see just the same in
towns and cities.

Hey you don't need to give your excuses to me ... ;-)

I 'have' eaten at a McDonalds (once) and I said so! A friend was passing
through and I said I would make dinner, but he said he didn't have much time
so why didn't we go to McDonalds! We did and I have recounted in the past
what I found there:))

Once was enough!

What I meant was that I was surprised that you never went to McDonald's before that one time you did go. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hee hee.

My guess is that McDonald's is favored by parents with young kids and teenagers. It's a restaurant they can go to and not get dirty looks from the other people eating there. Interestingly, elderly people consider it to be a place to meet their friends in the morning. It's how the old folks network.

It certainly is easier to find good fried chicken in Korea.

Here's an overview of fried chicken around the world:

What I'm saying is that you're simply not old enough to do this. When you do reach the proper age, it'll all start to make sense to you.


Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! :)

[Nancy2]

Here, it is teens and young adults who frequent McDonald's. The senior crowd hangs
out at our family restaurants (diners) or supermarket deli sit-down "restaurants."
