Are you kidding? Of course there's KFC in Britain. I've never been
there but can absolutely guarantee it. KFC is everywhere. You wouldn't
believe how many there were in Thailand, almost as many as 7/11's. They
are in over 80 countries. In fact, the only countries I've ever been in
that *didn't* have KFC are Laos and Burma.

We're so provincial. A person from Kentucky might be surprised to
find a KFC in neighboring Tennessee, much less in Thailand.

I'm even more provincial. I can get surprised when I see a Boston
Market in uptown Boston instead of downtown Boston.

Tastes great, less filling?

They've got _500_ KFCs in China, why not the UK?

Hmmm... I *think* there's one in the middle of London... it's only open
in the mornings, though.

I'm sure you're right, but I still thought it was funny when Pam said
"man, I hope we didn't do that to you people".

We've got hundreds of Fried Chicken outlets, they've been here for many
years. :-)

I remember seeing KFC in England, and several other chains I
recognized.

I must admit I'm rather impressed with the Curry Chicken Burgers at
McD's in Belgium...those are goooooood and I want them here in Canada!
I could pass on the Cheese Nuggets though. (Imagine a Chicken
McNugget, made of cheese.)

I think the best thing you can do for Brother is to keep feeding him
(as close as possible to your front door) and sitting out when you
can...eventually he will hopefully get used to you, and then want to
come in. My dad had a stray cat take up residence in his driving shed
and it took him about 8 months of feeding to get "StormShadow" to let
him near. The next summer, StormShadow spent most of the summer on our
porch, caring for kittens while the mother cats went for food, water
and hunting, never mind all the people going in and out right past
him...precious!

I always get a kick out of the different things they have at McDonald's
in other countries. Seems that they always have the basic staples, but
then they have a few "regional specialties".
In Thailand, they had these pork burgers for a while where there was no
bun but 2 patties made of sticky rice. They also had McSomTam (green
papaya salad) which came in the salad shaker cup. Thais looooove fried
chicken (hence all the KFC's) so McD's also has fried chicken.
It really was amazing at how many franchises there were in Thailand.
Some very commonly seen ones were KFC, Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Burger
King, Dunkin Donuts, Sizzler, Starbucks, Dairy Queen and Baskin Robbins.
In Australia, I've noticed McD's have an Aussie burger, which has
beetroot on it. I'm not into beetroot in the slightest, but Dennis
likes it but said that the McD's Aussie burger is vastly inferior to the
Hungry Jack's one. From what I've gathered, Hungry Jacks is the Aussie
version of Burger King. It's funny, but there seem to be less American
franchises in Australia than there were in Thailand. I've yet to see a
Starbucks for instance. Are there any on the other side of the country
or are they just not in Australia?
And before everyone thinks we constantly eat fast food...we really
don't! It's just something we save for road trips. Also, we have done
a ton of travelling and I know I've been to more countries than the
average Joe. But many times we were glad of the fast food joints
because they were about all we could afford. This does not apply to our
travels in Asia, where fast food is way more expensive than local food
from street stands. But after 5 years in Asia, you get to the point
where you crave some non-Asian food, no matter what the cost!

I got a kick out of (and enjoyed) the steamed rice you could get all the
time at the McDonalds in Hawaii.

I like fast food, but get to the point where I think I'll gag if I have to
eat one more thing that is fried.
