Auslady, when i first read about you wanting KFC for your son. I thought Aww how sweet that she is going to go to all that trouble to get her kid KFC.

Then i read that he is 21, and he wants to take you out for a meal.

Why don't you let him take you out for the meal. He may feel proud that he is earning and being able to invite his mum out. Dont burst his balloon.

And at another time you, as a family, take the trip to Mulhouse instead of doing the trip and having to re heat the chicken back at home.

Having only a distant memory of eating KFC (i think they left Geneva about 25 years ago) i would think the experience of eating it on site would be much better than re-heated two hours later.

They may even give him a party hat to put on.

Aww to be in highschool again, I wish they had these for my prom

Ladies and gents, after many years wait it's now possible to get close to the KFC experience in Zurich.


From April onwards the Restaurant Freihof in Altstetten has been offering Kentucky Style Fried Chicken, and I tried it today...


I thought it was a fair tribute to KFC, with another secret recipe of herbs and spices..

Still missing the Biscuits and Gravy though ..


PS I have zero connection with the restaurant , so this is a public service post

I've ridden by a few times and thought I need to try it, good to hear it's not bad.


But yeah, what gives with the fried chicken sides here in Europe? They're supposed to come with mashed potatoes and gravy, and a biscuit. But even KFC on this continent doesn't do that (and the euro-KFC gravy is all whacked, too).

Different tastes over here.

Wouldn't it be boring if everything was the same?

And a biscuit in the U.K. is like your cookies.

Do they serve them in buckets as an option?

why don't you try Stars and Stripes located in Brütten, Chur, Mutschellen and St Gallen, delicious chicken wings

I like variety if that variety is an improvement. But it's not. One would hope that they would get the basics right, and those kinda are the basics. But KFC in Europe is a pale imitation of American KFC, which itself is hardly the best example of fried chicken and the appropriate sides.

(UK KFC's gravy is an abomination. It's gritty and tasteless. American KFC's gravy is "meh". At least it's the right kind -- you use light gravy with poultry -- but it's not spectacular.)

(Yes, I know that UK English uses the word biscuit to refer to something else. But that's kinda irrelevant to this discussion.)

FWIW, I also tried it this week - was not impressed and won't be returning. The 'menu' salad was not fresh, the chicken was tough and the coating too thin and bland, although yes, there was a hint of herbs in it.

There's now one in Singen (Germany):

We were back in the states recently after a long absence.
I was also eager to pick up a bucket of KFC... I must say I was disappointed. Maybe because we had it as take-away, and by the time we got it home it had steamed in it's own vapor, making it soggy, and anything but crispy.
The cole slaw, however, was awesome, just as I remembered it.

On our drive back to the airport, we stopped at a Church's fried chicken outlet along the highway (a popular fried chicken restaurant chain that exists only in the South).

It was AMAZING. So good, it was decadent. Now I think about Church's fried chicken on our next trip!

In NZ they do potato + gravy, not just a pot of gravy. Numnumnumnum

Eric Cartman disagrees with you : Medicinal Fried Chicken

It ain't right if it ain't soggy!

Ah, those lost days (nights) of my youth, when the way home from the pub didn't pass a kebab shop but did pass a KFC...

Hi devcat
If you drive across the boarder to Colmar there's one there!!!!!!!!
I recently went on a romantic weekend away with my man and we accidentally found it....best accident EVA!!!! I drove off at the next offramp so fast I almost crashed hahahahaha IT'S THERE....I PROMISE!!

Can one use 'Romantic weekend' and 'KFC' in the same piece of text?

There are KFC in both Kolmar and Mülhausen, but I wait for KFC opening up in Büsingen and in Jestetten in a not so distant future

I haven't read through 10 pages of KFC posts, but one just recently (so I have been told) opened in Singen at the REAL shopping center. Don't know how recently it opened but it is up and running.

That was post #190.
;-)
AFAIK, the opening was on July 7th.
It's at a roundabout next to OBI, Burger-King, McDonalds and a gas station.

Read about it in the newspaper while I was visiting my parents and thought of this thread ;-)

Today I also thought about this thread while I was enjoying a BOSS Burger (Big Original Sanders Sandwich) at KFC Singen
