Today after a long day I decided that what I really wanted to do for dinner was anything other than cook. On my way home I thought I would just pop into McDonald's and get a burger, when I arrived I saw KFC and thought that instead I would get some chicken as I had really had a few burgers lately.
Inside I remembered a new choice on the KFC menu and it struck me how health conscious Australian's have become, we don't like the fat in many things we eat now, demanding that fast food chains like McDonald's and KFC give us "healthy choices". Well this was a new one for the books, its a Burger with two chicken breast fillets, some cheese, Bacon and BBQ sauce, that's it. Yep, no bread. I mean we all know that bread is the worst part of the burger anyway, full of sugar and yeast and its where all the fat gets absorbed into like a sponge. So really, I think what KFC has done is brilliant, removing the worst part of the burger and replacing it with a healthy alternative, deep fried chicken. Without the bread to absorb the chicken fat, you are not eating that fat cause its instead drizzling down the baking paper and onto your hands. Excellent.
Of course with this sort of new development in the eating habits of humans I had to try it for myself and at $7 a pop it isn't the cheapest burger on the menu (but you always pay a bit extra for healthy choices right?). From the first look I was pleased with my choice, take a look at the pic below and tell me you couldn't find this appetising.
As you can see it's called the double as part of MANTIME! yes yes. Well needless to say this "burger" reminded me exactly why we moved out of the caves and into a civilised world, so we didn't have to eat crap like this. The lack of anything nutritional here isn't exactly appealing as that is what you expect when you go to fast food resturants, but really. Ordering this and then eating it I feel I should have just walked into the place and had this conversation:
Me: "Hi I'd like a vat of oil to go thanks"
Server: "Ok sir, that will be $7.50"
Me: "Thankyou"
Server: "Here is the vat of oil and if you just exit through the doors to your left, the Hearse is waiting outside to take you to your allocated resting site, have a nice day".
Me: "oh its not an ambulance?"
Server: *laughs* "Oh no sir, what would be the point of that? it would only increase the price of the burger."
Yes, this is not the way to live forever, and I can't actually see how it could make you enjoy not living forever either.. Strange times we live in.
Having said all this the ad for it is HILARIOUS. check it out...
