Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Can't speak to McDonald's, but I can for KFC.
KFC outside the US is great. Genuinely good and typically not the cheapest food, but not pricey. In some places it's just original recipe (which is fairly crispy) and spicy.
In the US it's fully disgusting. Top to bottom, everything is gross, and it's not cheap enough to be so gross. I would rather skip a meal than eat KFC in the US. But KFC anywhere in Africa is on par with the excitement of a Nando's - guaranteed good food ahead.
Last time I had McDonald's at all was 2007 in Morocco and it made me feel gross, so I haven't touched it since.
KFC is regarded as midrange in China. And to be fair it's not bad. My wife tried a KFC in the Netherlands and it was shockingly terrible.
I can see that. Ultimately, they do play to the local market, so maybe preferences that were closest to pickled herring won out (to be fair, I actually like pickled herring, so maybe I'd like KFC NL)
KFC is terrible in France. Then again, so is McDonalds, and both are waaay too expensive for what you get.
I actually prefer Burger King here, which is something cause in the states it’s… not great.
