It is very common to eat biscuits with honey or with jam here in the USA, not just with gravy. Also, scones are a lot denser and have sugar which biscuits don't. Biscuits are light and flakey with quite a lot of butter in most recipes.
@@carlchiles1047 There are turkey burgers and pizza burgers which have pork in them and brat burgers which are basically pork brats fried like a burger. There is no such thing as a chicken burger except in the UK. LOL I feel like the UK doesn't have an understanding of variety, for example they call all desserts pudding. It's like when you go down South and they ask you what kind of Coke you want when they mean what kind of soda do you want.
KFC started in KENTUCKY and Popeyes started in a suburb outside New Orleans, LOUISIANA. Two very different approaches to seasoning. Louisiana used to be colonized by the French (named after King Louis XIV) in 1682. The French, Spanish, Africans and Choctaw Indians influenced Creole and Cajun cuisine. The flavors are incredible.
Open the biscuit, spread butter on it & then honey or jam or jelly. Butter is the cure for the "dry" biscuit. Biscuits are good by themselves but they do need butter to be exceptional.
Popeye's my favorite fast food chicken. I love the spicy battered pieces. We eat jelly, honey, and jam on our American biscuits, not just gravy. Be sure to add butter.
I like Chick-fil-a, but it doesn't have the flavor that Popeyes does. Popeyes seasons theirs more. Chick-fil-a is rather bland in comparison. Their sandwiches aren't too bad with the lettuce and tomato. The veg that I've always gotten from them has been fresh. I just wish there was more flavor on their chicken.
Yes! Try Popeyes UK for yourself and do a try video about it! Popeyes has two choices of fried chicken. Mild or not spicy and Spicy chicken. That is the thing that makes Popeyes stand out compared to other fried chicken fast food places. In America, we do have chicken burgers which are ground chicken patties or minced chicken patties cooked and prepared the same way as a burger on the grill or oven or stove/cooker. Chicken sandwich in America is a whole boneless chicken breast fried or grilled but not ground chicken or minced chicken! :)
Popeyes is Cajun. All the Chicken comes in regular or spicy. My favorite are the spicy pieces. The chicken sandwich only comes in regular. They make it spicy by adding spicy mayo to the bun
I don't really eat fast food, but Popeye's is amazing. It's so good that people were actually fighting and stabbing each other in line over the sandwich. You really only see that here when a new PlayStation comes out, or when Popeye's releases a new sandwich 🤣It's that good.
The difference between KFC and Popeyes is that KFC is a bit on the greasy side, where as Popeyes is lighter a crispier. I find the chicken to be slightly juicier at Popeyes, and definitely spicier if you get the spicy variety. KFC has great taste, but Popeyes has better texture by far.
I would say chicken burger if it was ground chicken like a burger is ground beef. When it is a chicken fillet, it makes more sense to call it a sandwich imho.
Yeah, people call anything on a bun a burger in the UK, but the burger is the meat not the bread. It was, originally, a Hamburg style steak (like a mini ,meat loaf of minced beef, onions, bread crumbs and eggs as a binder) that were taking too long to cook. The cook crushed them down with a spatula and put them on toasted white bread. Over time the style of steak went from being called Hamburg style steak to Hamburger steak to hamburger to just burger and over that same time the toasted bread evolved into a bun. Calling anything that isn't at least attempting to recreate the style of meat (minced pork, turkey et cetera) a burger just because it is served on a bun is nonsensical. The naming convention the UK used here is just flawed because it mistakes how the item got its name. the hamburger (or burger) bun is called that because it has become the de rigeur item to serve burgers on, not because anything that lands between the pieces becomes a burger. Edit- for it to share the term burger. Meaning, for a breaded whole chicken breast filet to be called a chicken burger, it would have to be a stylized version of a dish associated with a place called Chickenburg. Then it could progress like the Hamburg steak from Chickenburg style chicken to Chickenburger chicken, to Chickenburger to chicken burger. Otherwise it's just a chicken filet sandwich.
As an American I don't mind it at all. If anything our chicken sandwich is kind of ambiguous. Chicken deli meat on sliced bread with some lettuce, tomato and other stuff could kind of be a chicken sandwich too.
@@jaegybomb but that's the thing, so is theirs. If you put chicken deli meat on a bun it would also be a chicken burger. Heck, technically they'd call Five Guys grilled cheese sandwich a Cheese burger as they use buns for the bread, I wonder if they could make it distinct enough to tell the difference from a cheeseburger like Spider-Man and Spiderman.
Chickenburg is a great place. I like to visit the orchards in the spring, when the feathers are in bloom. And also walk under the heavily laden branches in the autumn, and pick baskets of eggs. But breaded and fried chickenburger is the very best. 😂
Popeyes is amazing! I really like their food but my body reacts badly to the fried foods. If the resulting pain wasn't so bad, I'd eat Popeyes food way more often! (toxic reaction to almost any fast food fried chicken, not just Popeyes). They didn't try Popeyes fried shrimp, my favorite! Other sides are typical Louisiana cuisine like red beans & rice or jambalaya.
I haven't tried their jambalaya. May need to try that one next time I go rather than the fries or beans & rice. I do love dipping the fries in the cocktail sauce when I have the shrimp, though. It's perfect for both items. =)
Popeyes doesn't use any of the banned ingredients, so it should be pretty similar over there. They might use a different oil to fry it in over there. It is mixed soybean and canola oil used over here. The reason you may not have heard much about it there yet is that they just started opening them in the UK.
Every time I hear you say you don't like mac n' cheese, I just think in my head that I wish I could hand you a pan of family recipe. Everyone's is a little different, but nothing beats hot cheesy noodles with some crunchy top.
Don't know how to break it to ya man . . . but we do eat warm biscuits with butter and honey or with butter and jam/jelly!!! Yep - we do it all the time!! Delicious!! I will make biscuits for breakfast instead of toast - as do some restaurants and diners . . . so there you go!
I love biscuits (American) and grape jelly.. I rarely eat KFC chicken.. Popeyes chicken is the the chicken that rules them all.. well, except for when my mom made fried chicken - no comparison!
1. Regardless of your spice tolerance, the spicy chicken sandwich is better than the regular. Period. 2. While US KFC can be fairly hit and miss with the chicken (compared to how good it apparently is in the UK), the mashed potatoes and gravy are usually considered so addictive it outranks even the cajun gravy Popeye's has. 3. They do have strawberry jam and grape jelly to eat biscuits like it's tea time, but I usually just drizzle honey on 4. DON'T JUST GET KETCHUP OR BARBECUE SAUCE. Ask what other sauces they have, even in the UK they might have some that not everywhere else gets. 5. Can't speak for the UK, but here Popeye's biscuits are saltier than most, so make sure you have a large drink if the one you go to doesn't offer free refills.
GA girl here --- I prefer a Bojangles two-piece combo with green beans, dirty rice, and a biscuit, but I will eat Popeyes if that's all you have. KFC is hardly ever an option. Zaxby's chicken tenders are also life affirming. Gotta have them w/ that Zaxby's sauce and Texas Toast mmmmm mmmm
Facts!!! I'm from L.A. but lived in North & South Carolina During my entire Teen years and I'm a Bojangles Man over every Fast Food Chicken Spot😂. I miss Bojangles Chicken so much & Their Biscuits. Every time I visit the Carolinas Bojangles is my first Stop. Popeyes is good to but their Biscuits Are Trash.
just some linguistics FYI: ANY meat between two slices of bread (or bun) is technically a 'sandwich' even if it's hot (cooked) There was a debate that a hotdog isn't a sandwich, but since it fits the criteria, is has been deemed to be a sandwich. therefore a hamburger is technically a sandwich. BUT a 'burger is the shortened name for a hamburger, witch is a cooked ground beef patty between two slices of bread (or bun). and since 'burger is the shortened name of 'hamburger', 'burger can ONLY refer to either 'hamburger' OR 'cheeseburger'.. thus, a chicken or pork or (insert meat here) other than a cooked ground beef sandwich wouldn't be a 'burger.
Biscuits with jelly / jam is the norm here even more than biscuits and gravy. Biscuits and gravy is traditionally southern. Biscuits and jelly is everywhere!
You should do a video trying Popeye’s! If you do, they have a bunch of amazing dipping sauces you should try with the fries, and the popcorn shrimp is my favorite (I’m not a huge chicken fan).
You are always drinking coke or coffee…something they did a few years ago is put every popular drink in smaller cans called minis..regular can of coke is 12 ounces…the mini coke can is 7…and in my family, the smaller can is the perfect size…drink it…you’re done…no leftover coke sitting around in a can on a,table somewhere…Coke…Dr Pepper..Fanta..Mountain Dew…Orange…they all have smaller ..versions…
I find that most people's experience with Mac & Cheese outside of America is in the form of either Kraft or Velveeta versions which are passable....but not "REAL" Mac & Cheese in my opinion. And Yes Popeye's chicken does crunch like that...its very very crunchy.
We call it sandwich, because it's not mince (ground). Burger is not only beef. We have salmon/turkey etc. burgers, but it's not a solid piece, it's been chopped up. If it were whole, it would be a grilled/fried/blackened (take your pick) sandwich.
I just looked and there's quite a few Popeye's in the UK. Pretty much all over so you might have one close to you! What's not to like about mac and cheese? It's just pasta, cream, cheese, and seasoning!?
All the chicken shops have different breading recipes for their chicken. They are basically "individual" in their tastes. KFC tastes nothing like Popeyes, and the same goes for Bojangles. This individualization makes them each good, just depends on your preferences.
It's good that many of our ingredients aren't allowed there. I love America. But, I never really recognized that I feel sickly every day in-between meals... because of the meals... until I visited over there. In the UK, in Scandinavia, I don't feel sick but satisfied when I eat. There's a reason so many here are overweight. It's not because of portions. It's because the chems prevent people feeling sated in addition to being harmful. I would move to Europe just to feel better. I would definitely miss Texas BBQ though. Also? I think that headmaster would be a blast to hang out with.
while Popeyes is a VERY good chicken place (especially when the service is good, because some have horrible service), there is another newer place called Rasin' Cain that is considered much better and tastes better as well. And while Rasin' Cain has just recently became a "Coast to Coast" company, I hope they come to you guys across the pond quickly.
The only thing I get at Popeye's are the bone in chicken wings, they are great. I just got 12 ghost pepper wings today for $7.00. they have a deal where you buy 6 for $5.99, and you get 6 more for $1.00 more, so I got it, and they were really good, breaded and deep fried, and even though they are ghost pepper wings they are not very spicy at all, even a child could eat them. I even add Franks red hot sauce to them to make them even hotter.
If you want fried chicken with gravy you can try Jollibee the Filipino fast food place. They have some here in the US, not sure about the UK. They serve gravy on the side with fried chicken by default.
Just so you know Americans put jelly jam and preserves on their biscuits that does not make it a scone. However I do believe if you add clotted cream to it you may have a point
You like spicy stuff, so you'd probably prefer Popeyes and their fries are good, but for fries IMO nothing comes near KFC special fries, they used the chicken batter on the fries, it's one of them in heaven moments you mentioned in another video. But Churches chicken also has or used to have a spicy seasoning flavor packet that was awesome to me, the perfect combo of flavor and heat. Mac n cheese can be hit or miss, but when it hits it's a heaven moment. Yeah, a lot of the time the biscuits are dry.
