    Long story cut short: My grandmother who just passed got me into your videos because you actually cook like her. Lmfao. She hated fast-food and loved homemade EVERYTHING! She got to old to cook so she got me to watch your videos and now I cook everything and eat out less.
    Just wanted you to know. Keep it up.

    As a person who worked in a KFC... i must say that he is absolutely right. if you KNEW how your food was "cooked" you wouldn't want to eat there ever again... I worked in there for 1 week before i left as i had arguments with the F manager lol. Im serious lol... the chicken was barely, BARELY safe for consumption, the mayo, ketchup and mustard containers were extremely smelly since they refill them up without washing. Same with the avocado, they just added more to it without cleaning the contained and mixing old avocado with new avocado, it was a mess. they dont cleaned the lettuce either. Also, they needed to cut some stuff so the manager "DECIDED" that they cut the metal in the F kitchen. Where the sparks of metal were being thrown directly into the F bread that makes the sandwich, i told them that it was a complete disaster and that anything like that should be done outside, another was that they soaked chicken in water before using flour and then fry them, nothing wrong there except that they only changed water ONCE per F day.... imagine throwing RAW chicken into a bucket with water, taking them out and repeat that process about 3 times per minute... for the whole F day, and the kitchen is 30°C/86°F... you can expect that water to be full of bacteria already, i mentioned all these problems every day to the manager. The only thing safe to eat were potato fries .... well i was fired LOL. Well I'm glad, after the first day i refused to eat their food and brought mine. Lets not speak about how filthy the kitchen was.

    I worked at a KFC when I was in high school, which was way back in the 80s. The coleslaw was freshly made, literally cabbage, onions, and carrots made in a giant circular chopper. The dressing was made (can't remember recipe) and then added. Biscuits were made in a mixer with real buttermilk. The dough was then rolled out, cut, baked, and brushed with butter. (The smell was amazing!!) Chicken was dipped in water and then tossed in breading (flour, buttermilk powder, and the packet of secret herbs and spices), then arranged a specific way on racks and fried in a giant pressure cooker. The "cracklings" that collected at the bottom of the cooker were used to make the gravy. All in all, it was really good. There were at least 10 employees per shift, and this was a small shop located inside a mall. Wonderful capitalism, offered by PepsiCo Corp, slashed staff and cut down quality by 80%. It all became instant this and frozen that. My friend brought over some KFC last year (unaware of my past relationship I had with the company lol) and it was HORRIBLE. I couldn't get through it. They ruined this amazing food just so a shareholder or CEO can buy a 4th yacht. Greed is destroying the fabric of our society, our past, while the 1% counts on us to numb it all out, take our Xanax, and poison ourselves with barely edible chemical slop they pass off as food. It's nice to see interest in having standards again. These are the changes I'm excited to see. Good job, Gen Z. 👏

    One of the last memories I have of my grandmother was when she was in hospice care with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and I was sitting by her side while we ate KFC that we picked up on the way to see her because, hey she can't keep any food down so it might as well be something she enjoyed. I was probably 12 or 13 at the time and sat by her side and spoon fed her some macaroni and cheese because she was too weak to eat much herself.
    So yes I agree, KFC is definitely hospital food

    when cabbage is cut it releases its juices that contain lactic acid, the longer it sits in its juices the more "sour" it gets. sauerkraut is literally sliced cabbage fermenting in the lactic acid of its juices

    • @adbreon
      @adbreon ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nope. Cabbage juice is pH neutral. While the sauer in sauerkraut is largely lactic acid, it’s produced by the bacteria and yeast on the surface of the vegetable metabolizing the sugars and starches in the vegetable. Because red cabbage juice is pH neutral and contains several pH sensitive color compounds, it’s a popular science activity for children to use it as a pH indicator.

    • @DreadKyller
      @DreadKyller ปีที่แล้ว +5

      dry chicken, not dry skin. The meat itself is dry, the skin indeed is soft. Though I share your confusion, the KFC around where I live I find the chicken to be quite fine, nothing spectacular bgut defiantely not dry. And I don't know what they're talking about with "sour" taste in the coleslaw, because the coleslaw we get from KFC when we go there is not sour at all, it's a bit sweet and slightly acidic, but not sour. Do they just happen to have a terrible KFC near them or do I just have an above average one near me...
