Why are KFCs in America where it was invented so dogshit compared to KFCs overseas? Try to find an explanation that doesn't blame minorities.

>>22079030Americans will put up with more shit. We'll pay more for crappier food if it's marketed right. And there are fewer scruples about preservatives and artificial ingredients in the USA. They would rather pay a team of scientists in a lab to find a way to make 40 cents more profit per bucket by adding some chemicals. That's just how we do it and it's why I'd rather pay less for better chicken at the grocery store deli and even some gas stations over KFC.
>>22079030can you elaborate on the specific differences between international and domestic KFCs?
>>22079035>there are fewer scruples about preservatives and artificial ingredients in the USAhow do you figure? they use the same stuff in the EU, but over there they are less transparent about it and the labeling standards arent as strict. many europeans mistakenly believe they arent being fed preservatives because of this.

>preservativesThis means salt, sugar and fats, ie you are a fucking retard (again). Oh in bread they add vinegar, which is fucking terrible but not oh no think of the children faggotry.
>>22079063wut
>>22079052the sad thing is some more impressionable, less intelligent people will actually believe you. but i think you're counting on that.

>>22079030When I visited China maybe 10 years ago, I ate at a Pizza Hut over there. It was essentially a sit down Italian restaurant, with food a step (or even a few) above the typical Pizza Hut stuff we get in the US. The reason for this was they had no competition compared to all the higher quality Italian eateries over here, so they naturally positioned themselves in the higher quality dining market. And Chinese restaurants which were a dime a dozen faced steep competition that pushed many to the cheap fast food tier. McDonalds was an outlier keeping about the same standards, but these cheap Chinese places were even cheaper than them which means they got moved up a tier in the restaurant ecosystem. So not all big chains keep the same low standards as in the US, because the lack of competition overseas means they’ll fill whatever hole in the market they can.
>>22079030I went to a Popeye's staffed by White Russians and it was some of the most delicious chicken I've ever had. Make of that what you will.
>>22079044Nah, none of that actually.
>>22079131>White Russiansthese are not a thing outside of a really awful cocktail.
>>22079030i went to kfc in paris and all they sold was hot wings and nuggets
>>22079030all the ones near me have slowly been disappearing so hard to say. keep having to drive further away when I want some
>>22079030Significantly more competition. Some businesses thrive others are crushed by it. KFC is the latter. How many comparable fast food chicken restaurants are there overseas? In the US you can have Chick Fila, Popeyes, Zaxby's, Wing Stop, Raising Canes, Bojangles, Churches, plus grocery stores and local restaurants selling fried chicken in the same area. How many overseas KFC are directly competing with almost a dozen or more places selling comparable product in the same town?
>>22079030>Try to find an explanation that doesn't blame minorities.>And don't say "four", give me a proper answer
Marketing and complacency. Why should they try with such fame? Well, they're finding out now.
Competition. US drive through places are just relying on complacency and routine over here and it fucking sucks. The fast food places back in euroland have to compete with local places to be cheaper but still as good quality or better. They usually have better sourcing, management and staff than the US in order to survive. As a burger the franchising here is what kills the brands, you can have a pretty decent location of KFC or whatever, then they change owners and it goes to shit. There's just no consistence of quality here, it's russian roulette buying american fast food honestly.
Honestly, KFC America corporate just doesn't care anymore. It's too much work and they just want to have a nap. Also, as long as JUST enough people go to keep them afloat, they'll never need to really do anything. People should stop going altogether.
>>22079030KFC was pretty late in getting an app while their competition all had apps years before them
>>22079030>Try to find an explanation that doesn't blame minorities.Minorities are literally the cause of every problem on planet earth
>>22079030They have to try harder outside of the US, as american fast food is not seen as a necessity, but rather a treat. So if the slop ain't good Charl-Michelle from Brandenburg oblast won't come back for seconds.
>>22079030"Slick, silk-suited sunnuvabitches", according to the colonel himself.
>>22079600pretty much this
>>22079038Zinger burgers
>>22079076Preservatives are ok to eat.
>>22079030They have incredibly poor food standards in America
>>22079038central european KFC has a lot of menu items that are not available in the USespecially chicken burgers and wraps. if I buy at KFC, I get a Grander (large chickenburger with bacon and cheese) or Mega Pocket (chicken wrap with potato pancake). or a Qurrito, which is basically a chicken quesadilla. so none of my usual items are available in US KFCconversely, they don't serve mashed potatoes or gravy over here, unlike in America
>>22079030Because after COVID SYGMA corporation bought every competitor and monopolized being the food supplier, the switched to cheaper easier instaslop as the supply options. Fucking KFC is $40 a fucking bucket now. I tried going to one and the workers gave 0 fucks that they did not have chicken breasts and would not give extra legs to make up for the lack of meat cause "hurrr durrr corpo borpo say I can't do that"....Popeyes went to shit to. They used to be the best chicken fast food chain. Now I'm lucky if they even get the order right.>Want decent fried chicken?>Local chain or grocery stores>And yes, even gas station fried chicken blows these places out of the water>Better prices, better quality, better service.
>>22079030I switched to a competitor for their spicy flavor
>>22079030The main reason is coming down to the capitalistic demands for unlimited quarterly profit increases from publicly traded companies. The way the system works is that eventually you reach the peak of expansion where you cannot expand anymore based off the quality of service. So your options are to introduce new stuff, then eventually either raise praises to get more quarterly profits or to cut costs and cheapen out the product and service. Either eventually has you outdone by newer or non-publicly traded competition and replaced. KFC as one of the oldest chains reached that time and cheapened out so it got overtaken in the USA. However it is not as established internationally so it has only started to reach the point of beginning to cheapen out in Asian countries for example.The other answers are shit>America has worse food qualityActual pseudoscience that has been disproven so many times>There is no competitionUSA has far more competition for chicken. Chick Fil A and Raising Canes for example barely exist outside the US, Popeyes even barely exists outside the US
>>22081149>Actual pseudoscience that has been disproven so many timesSource? . . . no don't bother, your entire post is just cope.
I can confirm that Tucky in Australia is as bad or worse than Tucky USA. And they don't even have biscuits here.
>>22079030I went to a KFC in Thailand in 2007 and it wasn't that much better. Burger King and McDonald's had a much more substantial increase in quality there.
>>22081153GFSI for overall comparisons, and other academic publications that highlight how particular talking points are no more than economic protectionism and intentional misinformationYou are vagueposting too much for anything in particular
>>22081157>>22081159KFC has fallen in the UK too.It used to be Ok but things have gotten bad. > Burger King and McDonald's had a much more substantial increase in quality there.Americans visiting the UK say the same, ingredients are sourced locally and that makes a big impact.
>>22081163Food quality in the USA is notoriously bad, stop blaming things like protectionism, it's simply cope.
>>22081164That plus the BBQ sauce had Thai peppers in it.
>>22081166Cool non-sourced image dr facebook.Now provide the academic research on this table as no one has before. Some of these are the same thing and are twisting the words based off size. This is how you are easily manipulated.
>>22081169>That plus the BBQ sauce had Thai peppers in it.Nice.I have been to the USA, 5 different states and although the portions are large, I found their beef rather bland, they tend to supplement it with sauces and powders. I gave up eating American steak, it was just a huge disappointment. I have also eaten at Keens in NYC - it's supposedly famous for their Mutton but it's not really mutton.Anybody who knows anything about Mutton knows that you can't order it rare or medium rare . . . .you would be chewing a mouthful all week, it's Lamb/Hogget. They define it differently.
>>22081170>This is how you are easily manipulated.Since school, you have been putting your hand on your heart and sing to a piece of cloth, it's YOU who have been manipulated.It's not your fault, it's the way you have been brought up . . .may I suggest getting a passport and see for yourself?
>>22081170you have been reckt anon, now you just sound desperate
>>22079030>Try to find an explanation that doesn't blame minorities.Welp, I'm out of ideas.
>>22081181Nah I shit America all the time when it deserves it, however you are so high on Euro nationalism you let your emotions overtake your logic Have you stopped to think where food even comes from? Nature is going to have these things present. There is no “EFSA rule” that does not allow trace amounts of these (especially that you can link to) because that is going to be impossible to fully eliminate in mass production. They are only going to reject up to a certain quantity which the us guidelines makes clear the hard limit. Some articles even suggest the EU has no standard for rejection at all. https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/11/07/the-fake-news-about-us-food-standards/The reason I asked for a source is because the table is generated and there is no source.>>22081182>Rekt by… the screenshot of a ChatGPT generated table
>>22081166Are you someone who gets up in arms when you see fish with parasites at the store, or do you never check yourself? Zero tolerance never really means zero tolerance, since it’s very hard to go against nature. A true zero tolerance policy would mean more food waste, which the US has been trying to reduce for decades.
>>22081225You spent a long time trying to gather evidence to support your feeble claim.USA food standards are so bad that many countries ban their import. American beef for example was only exported to china and Mexico but recently because of tariff pressure they allowed some into Australia but it had to adhere to Australian regulations, which Americans found hard to do.Aussies didn't like it and stick to Aussie beef.
>>22081240>Are you someone who gets up in arms when you see fish with parasites at the storeYESAmericans may be happy with them but the rest of the world is not.
>>22081242PCRM is a group of vegans pushing their ideology. There are issues with the US food supply but this happens in the EU with chickens as well. Banning import of something also isn't done purely for safety but protectionism for local industries.
>>22081262Japan has a pretty high rate of parasite problems from eating a lot of raw fish. You can't really avoid it with wild caught fish since most of them have parasites.
>>22081262Posting a junk article while not addressing the fish issue is not responding in good faith.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11589489/https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/news/many-farmed-fish-parasite-free-more-data-neededSounds like Europe should stop all sales of wild caught fish and highly regulate all farm raised fish sales if they have a zero tolerance policy for parasites as they say. The reality is they don’t care about consumers eating them as long as the parasites are dead and don’t cause any long term health risk. Which is the same as the US policy, just worded in a way that sounds better than it is.
>>22081166There is zero chance that wheat flour in the EU is 100% free from a single contaminant. It's not possible with modern technology and industrial amounts of processing.
>>22079030who cooks the chicken in the USA vs other countries. genuinely curious if europeans have a little culture of gypsies or arabs that do their fastfood or is it still white teenagers as society intended
>>22081297>It was therefore concluded that there are no particular species of wild caught fish originating from specific marine or freshwater fishing grounds, where the fish consumed in the EU/EFTA can be considered to be free of parasites of public health importance.
>>22081242>You spent a long time trying to gather evidence to support your feeble claimI have responsibilities outside responding to neets about food lmao. Chaptgpt is clownish enough that I am surprised to even respond >USA food standards are so bad that many countries ban their importThe US has banned imports of meat from other countries as well before. This is a protectionist stance that keeps local farmers from going under due to imports and is always said as such by the governments. Economic plays do not equate food quality
>>22081225Picrel is an excerpt from your own cope internet link.Rat hairs, maggots, insect eggs are fine then?Maybe for Americans but the rest of the world disagrees. >>22081291>>22081295>>22081297>>22081298>>22081311The USA has just appalling hygiene standards we all know this, just accept that the rest of the planet doesn't adhere to them.Have you seen the videos of Chinese Gutter Oil ???Guess which country imports it? see picrel
