    Forget about not-KFC, Smiths and KFC have teamed up to created Zinger-flavoured chips. I will try these.

    It is amusing that an article for a pack of chips is on a website called "goodfood".

    The reviewer pretty much summed them up as tasting like nothing. Not surprised though as everything kfc has tasted like nothing for years now.

    My condolences.

    There are far better food joints around. KFC were last good in the 90's. Their chips were the best, the chicken was yummy. When you asked for extra seasoning, mate, you got extra seasoning. Now it's bland, soggy and you ask for extra seasoning, you're lucky they even put any on at all. Popcorn chicken was pretty good, but I tried some again a couple of months ago, didn't really taste like anything.

    I go red rooster every Wednesday as my tuckshop day. Right next door to work, well, just have to cross Zillmere road, but close enough. The ripper is so good. Get a bacon and cheese, minus the cheese and it's chicken and bacon paradise. Plus the bread rolls they use are so good.

    This was part of my Fathers Day gifts:



    Gotta admit, I've developed a bit of a taste for Hot Sauce, I'm afraid I'll end up like Lister on Red Dwarf and end up putting it on my breakfast cereal

    So far I've tried the Australian "My Outback is Burning" on nacho's and the Egyptian "Fire Scarab Sauce" on some rich beefy mince and both were pretty good. Any suggestions what foods to dry the green sauces on?

    This reminds me of when a friend and I went to a Pizza Hut and asked for a pizza with their hottest jalapenos, hottest chilli sauce and hot jalapeno seeds. We later went and watched Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and the stomach ache was so excruciating, that when the characters would beat each other up, the pain was intense. When there were no fight sequences, the pain would ease. A very twisted and painful virtual reality experience.

    These aren't bad. It's a little like a BBQ-flavoured chip, but with a spicy kick.

    On tonight's episode of Ainsley Harriot's Street Food series on SBS, he was in Taiwan, trying out all sorts of weird and fascinating foods... and some things I wouldn't call food.

    But he visited a restaurant that has me wanting to try out if I ever get the chance.... it's called "The Modern Toilet Restaurant", and it is toilet themed.

    Before you say, ewww that's disgusting... yes, it is. But so funny when you look at photos.

    The seats are decorated toilets (which I would think have never been used), while many of the bowls used to serve the food in, are shaped like mini toilets, urinals and bathtubs.
    The main meals look to get served in a mini toilet, with a creepy looking brown bowl cover next to it that looks a little too poo-like.

    The place is so bizarre that it is a tourist attraction.
    When Ainsley got his main meal brought to him, he couldn't stop laughing at how disturbing it looked. The steaming curry in the mini toilet could have been a before or after image.

    Reading a small wiki page, this is not a one-off restaurant... it's a chain of 12 in two countries so far, with plans for more in two more countries.
