Maybe they should change their name to “Popeye’s Fried Squirrel” cuz that’s what it likes to me!

They just fried the whole thing!.. Tail and all!

Never had Popeye’s… Not sure I ever want to try it now after these posts!

I honestly don’t waste my time at any fast food chicken place. None of it really tastes like chicken. Last and only time I had Popeyes there was no chicken involved just a bunch of rancid tasting breading. Don’t get me wrong I love fried chicken but if it doesn’t pass over someone’s HOME kitchen counter then I’m really not interested, but if I was on a road trip and wanted some really bad I would go have to go with Chick-fil-a or Raising Cane’s. Only problem is both of these places lines wrap around the building twice no matter what time it is. That being said, I generally don’t get any. :persevere: :smile:

/agree

lol

Yes you bet! Goodbye coke hello Sweet tea!

New Zealand too. Once met a fellow in AU who had that as his nickname. When used that way, it’s not a very complimentary term, but he was OK with it. He was the most foul-mouthed person I’ve ever met. Maybe that’s why he was OK with it in his case. :upside_down_face:

Australians use a lot of profanity in their everyday conversation. They don’t seem to look on it as a bad thing . Bit of a culture shock for visitors through.

I’ve experienced the same from some regions of the U.S. Like you (Archie) said, it is just kind of how some folks talk. As for one such friend of mine, he was very much that way when I met him. Ralphie from “A Christmas Story” had an appropriate quote about his dad: “My father worked in profanity the way other artists work in oils or clay. It was his true medium. A master.”

Since Popeye’s is a Louisiana company I should say yes but I’m loyal to Chick-Fil-A and Raising Canes (another Louisiana fast food place) for my chicken.

Chook isn’t that derogatory. It is equivalent to calling someone “silly”, however isn’t used that much any more. Also a nickname for someone with skinny legs…

Still have Red Rooster here… Better than KFC

Totally agree.

Best chook I ever had though was “Kenny Rogers Roaster” when I worked in Indonesia. Wish they had it here in Oz.

Kenny Roger’s “Roosters” was awesome. There used to be one in Lexington, KY. I ate there often. I was sad to return to town and go there to see it was gone. In the DFW area we have a “Cowboy Chicken” that makes really good wood fired rotisserie chicken that reminds me Kenny Roger’s. Now I am getting hungry…

I guess that fits in my region of the world also. I worked in a hospital for 20 years. Even though I don’t eat fried food, I knew to get to the cafeteria early in Fried Chicken day because the place would be packed. Also, our church does Wednesday family dinner and Fried Chicken Night is the first Wednesday of the month and the most well attended :wink:
