KFC

I really can’t say much, it is KFC after all, I just thought it was hilarious that KENTUCKY fried chicken was all over Europe, so I had to go in to experience it. I am not too picky and I have to admit that I like American fast food, but I was thoroughly disappointed… they did not have mashed potatoes! WHAT. THE. EFF. Am I not in Northern Ireland? There are potatoes everywhere in this country, but they don’t serve mashed potatoes with their fried chicken? That is just wrong.

Ah KFC, the place where heart attacks are born. I don’t want to tar every fast food eatery with the same brush but there is definitely something particularly greasy and unhealthy about the KFC bucket.
I’ve been before of course — generally not inebriated because until recently this city centre diner closed before the pubs closed, alas not anymore as they proudly disclaim on their window — Open till 2am.
I do like KFC — the ‘secret blend’ of the colonel’s herbs and spices does have a habit of tempting me on the very rare occasion and I have guzzled my fair share of chicken in my youth but generally this particular place is full of an odd crowd, who do often seem like they eat KFC for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Coming back late from the airport we were cranky (thanks to the ever-​reliant Ryanair) and were in need of our chicken fix before that magical one and a half-​hour delayed journey back home to Enniskillen. Step up KFC. Complete with the most efficient member of staff behind the counter who stopped short of giving you your food just before you actually got the words out of your mouth.
Staying open until 2am meant this was the obvious choice but unfortunately the later it stays open, the more little children who should be in bed but rather are sitting smoking at the door seem to congregate here not for food but merely to be a pain in the backside. (The place could stay open alone out of selling WKD to underage chavs)
The food is top quality, the best KFC I’ve been to, and beats the one in Enniskillen who told us they were currently out of chicken… true story.
This particular KFC (tramps aside) is very good and opening late night means a Bargain Bucket can be a welcome change from the 4% meat; 96% other burgers you get from surrounding takeaways.
