McDonald's Southern-Style Chicken - Page 4

I had one for dinner tonight, and I thought it was okay. The chicken tasted like CFA, but I like the roll CFA uses better. It's not as thick maybe? I think it's a decent replacement if I crave one some random Sunday.

PeppyGPhiB,

That is exactly correct. McDonald's does indeed variate menu options not only regionally but also nationally. For example, when I was living in New England I could drive up to Maine in the Summer and have Lobster Rolls as a value meal at ole Ronald's Steakhouse

. The funny thing is that it was actually really good.

Cheers,

Only some of the locations up here have espresso right now. I very highly doubt it has anything to do with Chik fil a, which is just a regional fast food joint. Restaurants have the same menu items all the time. In McDonald's case, I think they just chose the words "Southern Style" because everyone knows "fried" is a bad word.

Any of you jokers like Wendy's?

McDonalds of Hawaii serves Portuguese Sausage (Linguica), Spam, Eggs, and Rice for breakfast. Portuguese Sausage and Spam are local favorites here.

For lunch and dinner they also have saimin, what you guys call ramen. Except this isn't the packaged crap. It's fresh noodles with the broth, complete with garnishes of green onion, char siu pork, fishcake, and egg.

Even our Fruit Punch is different.

MytsicCat You're right though, you really wouldn't care that it isn't healthy until you go to the doctor and he/she tells you that you have gastrointestinal cancer, in other words, colon cancer which has been associated with diets high in fat and sugar and low in fiber, such as Taco Hell, Micky Ds, BK, Arby's ect. In societies that traditionally have a low incidence of colon cancer, such as the Japanese, it just seems like when people begin to eat a Westernize diet of refined foods and high fat, such as (lol lol)

Taco Hell, Micky Ds, BK, Arby's, ect. the risk of colon cancer increases.

I couldn't resist.

Anything in excess is bad. My daughter turned orange as an infant because she was eating too many carrots. You can die from ingesting too much water. Moderation in all things.

ANYWAY...

I got the dinner sandwich for free. It was good for free. I can't see paying $2.49 for it by any stretch of the imagination. I'll stick w/ the $1 McChicken.

Did I really just sit here and read 4 pages about fast food? LOL. GC makes it WAY too easy to slip into avoidance mode. *sigh* Back to reality.

I know. You're right. I just posted that to get a reaction from MysticCat.

I've tried to cut out HFCS, and it's hard...it's in SO MUCH STUFF...even bread. I just read the labels really carefully. Same goes for partially hydrogenated whatever-kind-of-oil.

They must be in only certain parts of LA and Orange County, because I lived down there for four years and never came across one. I visit down there frequently, too, and still nothin'. But maybe that's because I'm always looking for In-N-Out.

This makes me want to eat only carrots for a few days just to see if I turn orange. That would be great for Texas football games.

When I was around 13 I was diagnosed with a corn allergy. So i couldn't eat anything with corn syrup, corn meal, etc. You don't know how many things have corn syrup or corn meal until you can't eat them! lol

Yeah, corn is in everything too! Have you read Omnivore's Dilemma?

I think maybe some McD's around here have had some chicken (beyond McNuggets or Selects) -- they were making a big deal about chicken biscuits for breakfast not long ago. But I haven't tried them, though.

Popeyes is the most southern-style out of all of the chains anyway.

First off, After Super Size me I don't eat that much fast food........

Secondly, I only tasted this "Southern Style Chicken Biscuit" because it was free! It was disgusting! I hate it!

Nothing can top Chickfila!!!

PhiGam, I disagree, I think Bojangles wins that contest hands down!
