Mexican KFC used to be fucking awesome, and now it's absolutely inedible. Is it because your taste buds mature as you become an adult, or is it because food just doesn't taste as good nowadays? I mean, the chicken sandwich at McDonalds tastes better than the KFC equivalent. That's just sad... A friend of mine worked at a KFC that's close to my place, back in the day - when we were teenagers - and to this day he still cannot withstand the sight or smell of chicken. I wonder why. That being said, I researched "Black Pudding" and it's got an equivalent called "Rellena" or "Moronga" in Mexico - something my father really likes (though he can't eat it anymore, at least for a long while) and I really don't get the taste of. It tastes like ashes to me. A close relative to that is mexican "Chorizo;" a much more lightweight alternative that's so, SO good, I just feel like going downstairs and making myself a burrito. And there's even Chorizo made out of Soy or Turkey, lately - which is probably what I'll find in my fridge. Has anyone here ever had Chorizo?
Chorizo is not really anything like Black Pudding, at all, other than them both being types of sausages.
ok ok CALM down. http://www.foodgeekery.com/reviews/double-down-with-kfc/ << here's the "first" post of it on the internet. the commercials for it are all Cell phone recorded. that post is a month old and the item is NOT on the menu on KFC. And ALL posts lead to food geekery.com as it's source. My opinon? HOAX.
that article went up after my post it looks like from the time stamp on it. That's the first article that didn't link to the same ones. It says it's still in test markets. ...whoever comes up with ideas at KFC reads Thisiswhyyourefat.com too much.
For fucks sake ! black pudding is NOT a sausage, it is mostly blood cooked and put into a sausage "tubing" or what ever the fuck you call the outer skin of a salami . Back when I used to eat Black Pudding, then it was a fucking big lump, put into a cow Cecum or something similar. Morcilla cocida is the Spanish version of black pudding. The Portuguese version is called chouriço, the Danish version is called blod pølse, which means blood sausage . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pudding
Here it's a widely known food, and it's fuckin' awesome. There are many Uruguayans in Mexico who made tons of money importing chorizos from Uruguay and selling them in street stands there as it's done here. Though I don't get the taste of Black Pudding / Blood Sausage or Morcilla (as we call it here), either, it doesn't taste so good (imo) and it's just cooked clogged blood Maybe he meant the salty ones, there are salty and sweet blood sausages, here in Uruguay we have both.
Right, i was talking about the salty variant. I have to taste the sweet one, but it is uncommon around here. I'm always open to new food!
You are right on both accounts, comrade. Indeed, Morcilla (Moronga or Rellena in Mexico) doesn't taste so good to me either, and indeed, Uruguayan chorizo is awesome... in fact, Uruguayan food in general is awesome. I really like Uruguayan food - and there's an awesome Uruguayan place close to my house.
Ok so I had this thing KFC Created with some potato wedges.... I was nearly in a coma after eating it. The "cheese" was disturbingly creamy.
Well the advertisement does say that the sandwich contains some type of "Colonel's Sauce" in addition to the cheese. Perhaps that's what the creamy substance was.
from the first sentence of that link you used as a source... "Black pudding or blood pudding is a type of sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled."
GP: thanks for being the first idiot to implicate that about me, in a long time. XxHennersXx: okay then, it is a sausage, but oh well . Sausage is a very abstract concept then.
Yup, we call it a sausage. And I admit, my world view was wrong when it comes to sausages. So shall we sit down and sing Kum Ba Ya ? Oh well back to the good stuff, and not me cursing.
