KFC Double Down burger

[davebullet]

Calling the Fat Biker's Motorcycle Club (el-presidente Fatt Max).

Any reviews on the above degustation (or should that be "disgust"ation?)

Is it worthy of FBMC iconic status?

[The Everlasting]

Yeah it seems to be the thing everyone is talking about,I have yet to try one myself...

[Scuba_Steve]

I have tried it (day before release too) & it is good but has been hyped up somewhat by media (go figure) awesome drunk feed.
Does it suit the FBMC look/image? definitely! :yes:
does it suit the FBMC recommended fat intake for a meal? you might still be better off with a pie

[Oblivion]

Just the appearance of the thing makes me go :sick:

Its probably very tasty though :innocent:

[EJK]

What's the controversy? BK's Whopper's got about 30% more calories.

It doesn't make sense and I don't get it. Idiot news, media and health and safety tards...

[Mully]

It doesn't make sense and I don't get it. Idiot news, media and health and safety tards...

Yep - and how much did KFC have to spend to become the most talked about junk food launch in some time?? Buggar all.

Brilliant.

[Usarka]

Watching TV3 news this morning they had items on internet sercurity and string theory with the Hadron (sp?) Collider.

Turned to Breakfast on TV1 and was told "coming up we taste the new chicken-wank-free-advertising-burger" from KFC".

Problem is the majority of the population cares more about the latter.

[Fatt Max]

Well, it must be said that it is a big, fat, greasy lump of chicken fat with extra jizz in the middle.

Had a bite of one at KFC Papatoetoe and thought...hmmmm....ok

Took another bite and thought......blaaarrrggghhhhh......tasted like shite.

Now, it will be the shite of choice after a night on the piss as you waddle home but other than that, I personally would leave it. Mind you, KFC Pappers is not the best but dont let that influence you.

I intend to give one of these another go at the weekend and make a more informed decision but it is fair to say that it is a fat bastards dream.....

Pick the bones out of that and go choke the chook....

[Fatt Max]

BTW, dont let the fun police stop you from giving it a go.......

[Usarka]

BTW, dont let the fun police stop you from giving it a go.......

I'm going to give it a nudge. However I've been informed from reliable sources that a chicken company that is very very similar to KFD's hush hush herb and spikces is nothing more than salt, pepper and MSG.

Should do well in East Tamaki/Otara...:corn:
The only thing fast about KFC is thier demise, disgusting shit really.
Well to my tastes it is.
Not favourably talked about though is it Mulz?

Don't worry, you're not the only one.

[Blackshear]

It's been available in the states before already, and the recently re-released it.

Not surprisingly, those fat bastards gobbled the fuck out've em.

Personally, no thanks.

[James Deuce]

It's horrible. My guts are complaining in ways I didn't know was possible. If I'd known you could get a grilled one, I would have. The Original Recipe™ one is a grease slick filed with an artificially induced sewerage pipe explosion.

I dread what is going to make itself known to the waste disposal unit upon the morrow.

I ate my last KFC as a bit of a tribute to my Mother on the day of her funeral. Figured it would be the last time I ever would eat it. It was about the only thing that she enjoyed eating in the years leading up to her passing, we encouraged it, you cant go wrong when you weigh less than 30 kgs after all. So much so, that it was all we ate when we visited, she wanted KFC, we got it :puke: I fed it to her in the days leading up to her death. SO it is something of a bogey monster for me.

The look of the thing turns my guts...

I dont trust the food outlets that cook this shit and sell it...

But, I will buy one :yes: If only to confirm my thoughts. I hope I dont LIKE it :shit:

[specter]

meh was average really... kind of like and original recipe cordon bleu

[sil3nt]

The other day i went to get some KFC. Would have been the first time in 6 months. Cars were backed up across the road waiting to get in (this is before the double down was released) so i walked across the road and had subway.

KFC generally tastes good at the time but after a few minutes you regret ever going there and vow never to go again...until you think "hey it can't be as bad as last time".....

[schrodingers cat]

string theory with the Hadron (sp?) Collider.


Fascinating eh?
I guess thats about all the 'hard' news we're likely to see this month so enjoy...

[FlangMasterJ]

Perfect post-workout meal. Haven't hit it yet but plan on hitting it hard!

[Blackshear]

You'll hit it hard alright, like your face hitting the pavement after cardiac arrest :jerry:

[Teflon]

Yeah theyre alright. The size of them were a little girly.. I could eat 4 or 5 them no prob

[Mental Trousers]

... and string theory with the Hadron (sp?) Collider.

The only decent bit of tv and I miss it. Figures.

Do they do a really hot Double Down?? The Zinger burger etc just doesn't cut it.

[Toaster]

BTW, dont let the fun police stop you from giving it a go.......

I figure rubbing it all over my fat guts and doing a bodyslide down the tables.

That's exactly right,you don't go for around 6 months,then when you do decide to give it another go,your reminded it tastes like shite!!

[Drunken Monkey]

They do a zinger double down, but that's as close as you'll get. Maybe you could ask for some southwest sauce or bring your own tobasco?

The DD wasn't as big as the hype, actually it was pretty salty I thought (rather than greasy). Had a coleslaw to wash it down, as I didn't get the drink + fries.

Overrated, but doesn't mean I won't eat one again.

Baking three of these inside a giant mince pie, with bacon and mash layered on top, now THAT'S A MEAL!

[Usarka]

Overrated, but doesn't mean I won't eat one again.


Oversaturated even.

[Hopeful Bastard]

Had one this Afternoon from Lower Hutt KFC by the Roundabout..

I LOVED IT!

Was absolutely taste buddingly enjoyable :woohoo:


Am DEFINITELY going to buy another one... 'Tis a great thing for FBMC to idolize if a good* KFC outlet is found.


*edited for spelling >.<

[jazfender]

it was OK but I think it'd be better if they chucked all of it inside a bun.

Gotsta have those carbs.

[Drunken Monkey]

Float it on a large P'n'G then...

[oldrider]

I'm looking forward to trying one, it's the bloody buns that make me crook! :yes:

Bread is not as healthy as these bloody health knutters claim it is! :sick:

KFC etc (fast foods generally) are not compulsory so what people buy is their own bloody choice FFS! :brick:

I love pies, unfortunately pies do not like me too much (the pastry actually) so I have to limit my intake! (damn it) :facepalm:

Next time I go to town then! :bleh: ...KFC.

Funny thing is KFC promotes it as a low carb burger.
Oldrider you do know that originally the pie pastry was meant to be eaten so you could go back to using it as just a stew container. don't hurt me Fat Max, please

[Pussy]

My DEEPEST sympathies about your allergy to pies, Oldrider!

looks bad enough in the press let alone in real life

[mashman]

I'll just stick with my de-boned hot wings and Fantastic Mr Fox approach to eating them... I frown harshly upon Salad and KFC :blink:

[jazfender]

Float it on a large P'n'G then...

nah, not the same.

Tower Burger 4 lyfe.

[Shadows]

Like all KFC it was good at the time and that's about it.

Something like deep fried Gordon Blue followed with an extremely salty aftertaste and the sensation of having just eaten a brick, which lasts for hours.

Hopefully this is not a portent of further unpleasant sensations in the morning.

The grease is the kind of grease which seems to seep back out through your skin. Even my eyelids feel greasy.

[Berries]

238569looks bad enough in the press let alone in real life I want one.


The grease is the kind of grease which seems to seep back out through your skin. Even my eyelids feel greasy.I really want one.

Considering the horror stories I have read about food safety at KFC over the years I may just have to make an exception about midday tomorrow. Are their chips still shithouse?

[Shadows]

Are their chips still shithouse?

Completely.

[Usarka]

Hmmmm not sure I'd class KFC buns as bread.

[Maha]

KFC chips are worst out there, all limp and soggy and luke warm at best.
Last lot I had was at the Quay st KFC?...case of having to on that day but its never a place that I would ever choose to...''dine''.

mmmmmmm I feel a Subway coming on for lunch....:love:

Their chips are awesome ONLY if you ask for extra seasoning and then soak them in the coleslaw juices :drool:

Was out and about just after lunch time and was amazed at the que's both in the drive through and out of the shop doors.

I will prob try one one day but like others soon regret eating a KFC, it just bloats my guts and makes me feel crap. But a few months later that little voice in your head says "give it another go".

[ducatilover]

I have yet to taste anything from KFC that I do like.

For what it's worth, I can roll shitty dry chicken in oil, salt, pepper and MSG at home...for a lot less, so why bother? Real men eat the hottest largest iskender that is available :love: Real food!

[Maha]

Anyone read Side swipe (The Herald) this morning?
Has a photo of the Greenlane KFC with a line of people out the door, in the foreground is a little blue 'Department of Health' car parked up...:corn:

[EJK]

Btw, when will we get Hot and Spicy?

I'm waiting for that.

[Maha]

That takes about 7-8 good Rums.

Not for me. I put on half a kg just reading this thread.

Wow chowing down 3 double downs reading the thread? - that's quick!

[Big Dave]

What's worse was I was only thinking about it. All I ate was a few slices of dry white toast.




And three fried chickens.

Elwood, is that you?

[FlangMasterJ]

They are fucking putrid! They were fine ten years ago, now they taste and feel like they've been fermenting under a FOB's armpit for a week.

[Oblivion]

After hearing some confirmed rumors about the hygiene standards at some KFC, I have vowed to no touch the stuff. :sick:

[yod]

confirmed rumors

umm.....


anyway


The Outlaw is back @ BK, The Double Down is available @ KFC

Tomorrow, my work mates and I will create epic fatty goodness.....

(Yes I work in IT)

I'm a fan of their burger.
Or the bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a pig, garnished with baconators.

[FlangMasterJ]

I tried to hold out till friday but I just couldn't help myself.

Double double downs!

[pete376403]

Haven't tried the double down but there's a grilled chicken offering at present that's not too bad, and there is the option of a fairly hot chilli sauce with it.

[mashman]

I tried to hold out till friday but I just couldn't help myself.

Double double downs!

I wish we had done the same :facepalm:. Me und diesen missus just shared one... until the kids decided that they wanted to try it too :bye:... I hope they bring out a hot 'n' spicy version :yes:

[Ntoxcated]

Takeaway night so I had to try one. I got the Zinger version along with some potato & gravy, coleslaw, and some bread rolls. If you rip a bread roll in half, it is perfect for holding the double down and makes it just like a burger :facepalm:

[Oblivion]

I wish we had done the same :facepalm:. Me und diesen missus just shared one... until the kids decided that they wanted to try it too :bye:... I hope they bring out a hot 'n' spicy version :yes:

Kids always want what they can't have eh? ;)

[oldrider]

Away to Timaru tomorrow (grandkids sport) so will try to get a taste (zinger preferred) while we are there! :yes: mmm yum yum Sigh! :p

[mashman]

Kids always want what they can't have eh? ;)

aye, the little c.......ids that they are... if they bring out a hot n spicy, they won't be wanting it for much longer :shifty:

[ynot slow]

Each to their own for me,I reckon the best item at KFC was the thickshakes,they deleted them bugger.Have yet to have a reasonable piece of chicken,is it my imagination or 20yrs ago did this stuff appear not as greasy?

Burgers are ok ,but the pieces are an oils slick with crumbs.And what really pisses me off is maccas,and KFC etc adding salads and healthy crap to their menu,ffs the branding is unhealthy quick food,I'll go to subway for a reasonable meal,and takeaways for fast food.

[Pussy]

Each to their own for me,I reckon the best item at KFC was the thickshakes

It was the Bean Salad!!

I don't care what it's bean - what is it now??

[schrodingers cat]

Wifey decided one of these would be a tasty Saturday arvo treat. Stood in line for 20min efore being told they were out of bacon so no DD burgers.

What a bunch of useless pricks.

Hype the shit out of something then fail to anticipate demand

t'wasn't acherly them wot was hypin tho, innit.

T'was news weren't it.

[Genestho]

Had one of these teh other day after combat class, after all the heart attack publicity hype, I figured then would be the perfect time to chow down.

And it was greasy, gooey and nom noms! Love the fact there werre no gluggy buns.. But I probably wouldn't have one again in the near future...maybe...:shifty:

[schrodingers cat]

t'wasn't acherly them wot was hypin tho, innit.

Collusion.

Manipulation

Have it your way.

[oldrider]

Had a Double Downer Zinger today .... yep, passed with flying colours!

Tossed out half the cheese ate the rest, very filling and no bun meant no crook guts!

Grandson had a standard DD in the wee bag and we were surprised at the size difference between that and our zingers, half the size!

Zingers were very tidy no mess and very satisfying!

Wouldn't want to eat it every day though.

[superman]

I got mind fucked eating a double down the other day. I don't think my bodies used to sudden splurges of fat, though I do love them on occasion. The rest of the night my heart was going nuts, I felt similar to being on a cannabis high and had super fucked up dreams.

Will I have it again? You bet your ass I will :yes:

[Usarka]

It was the Bean Salad!!

Meh, I say flick the bean salad.

[FlangMasterJ]

The rest of the night my heart was going nuts, I felt similar to being on a cannabis high and had super fucked up dreams.

Scarily similar to my experience. Had the throbbing chest too.

I had a strange dream myself. You know that game some folk play on the streets where they toss coins at the wall and what not? In my dream they were tossing my semi hardened stool at the wall. I shit you not.
