KFC, YOU WILL NEED A BUCKET

Advantages: Can be nice, depends on where you go
Disadvantages: Can be disgusting, and 'untrained' staff

...Of course I'm not being serious, it doesn't make you chuck up, but depending on where you go it comes close. You probably realise Chicken has to be very thoroughly cooked, otherwise viruses (Salmonella etc) can spread easliy. Well, okay KFC tend to cook the chicken right, but the fries aren't always properly done. You can still taste the raw potato, which helps to put you off the rest of your meal. The chicken itself it usually okay, sometimes a bit overcooked but not bad. You tend to get 'unidentifiable' chicken bits, even if you sit there like a melon for 5 minutes trying to figure out where it came from. This tends to happen more with a bucket though. Standard meals are from 3.00, buckets from 7.99 and extra chicken is from about 1 pound a piece. Customer service isn't bad, but twice I've been over-ordered and once under...

KFC - Finger looking good, or is it?

Advantages: Good price, nice chicken.
Disadvantages: Chips are normally nasty, long queues, dirty tables to sit on.

...the right blend without being too over-powering, it has this delicious taste to it that just makes me want to go back for more time and time again! The chips are a real disappointment though and are pretty similar to McDonalds chips in that they are either over-salted, cold or both! But then I am enjoying the chicken and the corn on the cob too much to care about some cold chips! Another speciality of KFC is the bargain bucket and this is normally around £10 for which you will receive 8 pieces of chicken (cuts may vary), 4 chips and normally two side orders. There are different variations of the bucket meals and you might also get boneless chicken, popcorn chicken, mini fillet burgers, bottles of drink or even desserts such as vienetta and ice cream etc. You can sit down or take away your food to eat wherever you feel like it. In my...

Kick the Bucket!

Advantages: Nice relationship story, good ending
Disadvantages: Not funny for a comedy

...Before you, "kick the bucket," so to say there are some things that people think they want to achieve such as climb a mountain, see the Eiffel Tower, makes amends with family members, etc, etc and this becomes even more urgent when you are facing certain death. This is the position that Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson find themselves in, in The Bucket List, a 2007 film. I missed this film when it came around at the cinema but managed to catch it last night on Sky Movies as from the trailers it looked good, I liked the sound of the story and they are great actors so I was looking forward to seeing it. Now, it's classified as a comedy-drama so I was expecting more of a funny movie but in my opinion this really wasn't funny at all. From the trailers I expected it to me a comedy and a funny take on dying but it was more...

Nobody does chicken like KFC

Advantages: Great Chicken
Disadvantages: Not one near to my home

...INTRODUCTION I have been to KFC many times in recent years, despite there not being many KFC restaurants near where I live. Every time I have loved the food, however until now I never felt the urge to write an opinion about KFC. Even when the Chain Restaurant Competition on Ciao was announced, I still didn’t feel inspired to write about KFC. So what has changed? Well, at the weekend for the first time me and my grandparents bought one of KFC’s famous Family ‘Bucket’ meals, although it wasn’t in a bucket, and I found this to be an interesting experience and very satisfying all round. So now I have done some research, and here goes – my first restaurant opinion. Enjoy. BACKGROUND KFC is a fast food chain restaurant that I believe is an American franchise in its origin. It is similar in concept...

Kick the bucket?!

Advantages: Nice story, great actors
Disadvantages: Poor special effects

...The Bucket List was released in 2007 and was directed by Rob Reiner. The main characters of the film are played by Morgan Freeman who plays Carter Chambers and Jack Nicholson who plays Edward Cole. The two main characters could not be any more different! Carter is a vehicle mechanic who has extraordinary general knowledge and loves his trivia and quiz shows and is a real family man. Edward on the other hand is a billionaire who runs a hospital and has been married numerous times but is not the settling down type! The two men meet when it turns out they have to share a hospital ward after they are both diagnosed with terminal cancer. The two men begin to develop an unlikely friendship and Carter starts to write his 'bucket list' which is basically a list of things that he wants to do before he dies. Edward suggests that they carry...

KFC - Original and still the best!

Advantages: Very Very Tasty
Disadvantages: Quite Fattening

...the best value for money meals tend to the Bargain Buckets or Family Feast, providing there are enough of you these are always a safe bet. I have always found my local KFC takeaway to be very clean and tidy and the staff are always pleasant. It is located in the city centre so there is no drive through option but those wanting this facility it is available elsewhere only a short drive away. KFC prides itself on its unique taste and secret recipes although in more recent years several similar outlets like Southern Fried chicken have appeared. I have tried these and to be fair they are nice and quite similar in taste but there is always that little bit something extra that keeps me returning back to KFC, which in my opinion is the original and still the best....

AQ bucket of Duplo creative fun

Advantages: good assortment of bricks
Disadvantages: none

...I have a toddler of 18 months to buy a present for this year, so have been looking at Duplo. I know 18 months is a little young as Duplo bricks are really suitable for children aged 2 years old and over up to about 5 years and even then older children will still play with Duplo bricks. I investigated this Lego Duplo Creative Bucket (5538) and it was £17.99p at ?Toys are us? a bit more expensive than I wanted to pay for my nieces baby. At http://shop.lego.com its £17.59 However this bucket of bricks looks really good. The Duplo bricks come in a sturdy plastic deep squared tub it has a lid with 4 large Duplo studs and the sides have info about the bricks stuck on. These tubs are really good for storage much better than card boxes. Inside the tub are 76 bricks of Duplo plenty for a starter or add on set. Now these bricks are not...

KFC - You have the power to make chickens happy...

Advantages: Great taste but...
Disadvantages: Unhealthy; dreadful chips; worst of all, they are propping up low welfare standards for chickens

...Bear with me on this one - I have written this review in a way that is not normal for me but here goes... ---KFC - A personal view--- Right, here are the facts as I see them: 1 - I LOVE KFC! 2 - I have to walk past a KFC every day on my way home from work - this is a very bad thing. 3 - I LOVE KFC! Here are some more important facts: 1 - KFC are one of the country's largest purchasers of chicken. 2 - All of their chicken options are made from chickens who spend their entire lives in a cramped shed with no natural light in really bad conditions. Here is a final fact before I get on with the rest of the review: 1 - I will not buy KFC until there is a free range option. ---KFC - A proper review--- KFC (or PFK - Poulet Frit du Kentucky - if you are in Quebec!) has been serving up various sorts of fried chicken...

What's on your Bucket List?

Advantages: Deals with issues compassionately
Disadvantages: You will need tissues handy

...rich man, who drinks specialised coffee and does not care who he annoys. Chambers, on the other hand, is a mechanic, working class and a bit of a history expert. They find out that they do have something in common - they are both dying. Cole is hospitalised in one of the hospitals he owns and finds that his own rule of two people to a room, no exceptions, has come back to bite him in the behind. Chambers is the other occupant of the room. Slowly the two men get to know each other, and become friends. One day Cole finds a list on a bit of paper on the floor. It has been written by Chambers and is called the Bucket List. Chambers has written it as a list of things he wants to do before he "kicks the bucket". Cole thinks it is a fantastic idea and adds a few of his own items to the list. And so begins a journey of friendship...
