I always hear from Brits that our food isn't as greasy as they were expecting. And that tells me that maybe y'all are not doing something right over there across the pond. If fried food is greasy, your oil isn't hot enough. Or it's old and needs to be changed out. Gotta have your oil up to temp before you put food in it, otherwise the food will just absorb the oil and it'll come out greasy. When the oil is hot enough, the food starts cooking right away and it seals the food pretty quickly under the batter.

[@TheSmokeWatcher]

Absolutely. They also don’t put the food on a rack to let the oil drip

Fun fact, they majority of words British people say Americans renamed are actually the original names of them, the Brit’s renamed thousands of things in the 17-18th century and the American immigrants were too far away and stubborn to change how they said it Funnily enough, the most widely known “American” word soccer, was originally the British pronunciation that was exported to America

Popeyes is the best. I want some spicy chicken now!

[@Fabulos1]

That's because they fell in love with KFC, Other chicken places were placed in certain areas.

[@jorgethegreat]

Popeye's competition in the US in terms of global expansion in the fried chicken biz is Jollibee. KFC have been stagnant and the other good fried chicken shops in the US are kind of regional, unlike Popeye's where most Americans have ate or tasted it. So it's Popeye's turn to take that next step going global.

No, Americans aren't trying to change the names of things LOL. Because the nation is a melting pot dishes have often come from other languages. The term biscuit comes to English from the French biscuit (bis-qui), which itself has a Latin root: panis biscotus refers to bread twice-cooked. Cookies (American for British biscuit) comes from the dutch "koekje" was Anglicized to "cookie" or cooky.

[@aequitasvox2488]

The term biscuit comes to English from the French biscuit (bis-qui), which itself has a Latin root: panis biscotus (A.K.A. Biscotti) refers to bread twice-cooked. in the ancient world when slices of bread were dried to store them. The Romans certainly had a form of biscuit, what we'd now call a rusk and, as the name suggests, it was essentially bread which was re-baked to make it crisp. Over the years the recipes changed slightly to allow a more buttery taste and fluffy texture. These brits really need to research first especially since it came from them first 😂. Biscuits are often paired with jam, honey, butter, etc. but not gravy

@@dummypants hamburgers are named after Hamburg, Germany because they originated there.

To the woman who didn’t want her biscuit with gravy, but wanted it with jam, the answer is - go ahead. American biscuits are Bi, bi-flavourful. Have them with jam (strawberry, orange marmalade, raspberry, whatever you want), golden syrup, honey, sorghum syrup, etc. Or have them savoury, with fried chicken gravy, chicken fried steak gravy, red eye gravy, etc. Or serve them with hash (chopped up left-over roast - beef, chicken or turkey - dipped in a little flour, salt, and pepper, moistened with some water - not too much - and cooked up in a cast iron skillet where you’ve already sautéed chopped onions in butter or pork fat drippings (or lard) split open the biscuits fresh out of the oven and spoon the hash on top, OMG that is good! If you like meat pies I defy you to not fall in love with biscuits and hash. The difference is, unlike scones, you don’t add sugar or dried fruit to the biscuit dough so it can swing both ways😄 The other big difference is biscuits are rarely served at room temperature (they’re more crumbly in texture than scones and don’t hold up as well as scones when they go cold).

[@lifebeginstoday1365]

I was wondering the whole time if they served them mild or spicy😂🤔. I will add my testimony that no American has ever had a cup of Popeyes gravy to dip a biscuit.

[@spitflamez]

I was wondering that about the spicy and thinking that about the gravy too! I think I tried a KFC biscuit with gravy before tho…

[@sinnbadd278]

@@pimpenstein right tho. Like I’m surprised we never thought of that. We mostly just use honey on top.

I prefer a little slab of butter on my biscuit. Between that and the red beans & rice (and of course the chicken) it truly is heaven.

I’m just seeing this 🤩🤚I tried my 1st Popeyes this month & I CAN SAY THE SAME. Extraordinary. Fresh flavours. It’s like Popeyes is the fried chicken shop ‘all other’s was imitating but just couldn’t do it 100%’. It takes you out of this country 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿with its uniquely satisfying flavours. I tried both wings with the bbq wings being my favourite 😍👍🏾. I tried both burgers with the bbq one being my favourite. I also tried the infamous “biscuit” & also felt it a (crumbling/flaky) JAMAICAN 🇯🇲FRIED DUMPLING 🤨 The Fries? 😋🤤🤚I tried plain & Cajun (spicy) fries and; I HAVE NOT EVER HAD A FRIE LIKE IT. It was a gift from God Ijn to of found a new ‘Popeyes’ in MY LOCAL AREA 🤩😍🤩. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It felt like I had travelled to America ✈️ 🏨 🏖 without any of the hassle, expense & stress. 100 out of 10 🙌🏾🙏🏾👋🏾🇬🇧

[@Yungdil]

@@allisonmb1930 because in the uk/australia the US biscuits are called scones lol

[@the2tum]

@@allisonmb1930 I'm sure it drives them crazy that we've bastardized the English language. It's not that they're comparing the two, it's that we call it by a different name. Our biscuits are their scones, and their biscuits are our cookies. It's like jelly/jam/jello, what we call jelly they call jam and what we call jello they call jelly.

[@anndeecosita3586]

@@the2tum I don’t think that’s entirely true. Popeyes biscuits are dense similar to how scones are dense but many biscuit recipes in the US are light and flaky and not all like scones. I watched some UK KZbinrs try flaky biscuits and say they didn’t have anything exactly like that in Britain. I don’t think anyone would ever cover a scone with sausage gravy because of all the sugar in scones. And we also eat scones in the US. Ours usually have fruit in them.

I’m from New Orleans and decided to check out the Popeyes in Hong Kong when I was there. Instead of Cajun seasoning (e.g. cayenne pepper, paprika), they used Chinese Five Spice (e.g. star anise, cloves, cinnamon). It wasn’t bad at all, but very very different.

[@alankbonnette3137]

They need, I said NEED, to eat the chicken with some jalapeno peppers! That's the way we do it in Louisiana, and all across our sister southern states!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is two great tastes that taste great together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LemonC00kies]

The fact that y’all didn’t give them Mardi Gras mustard, sweet heat sauce or jelly is ludicrous. But it also speaks volume to the quality and flavor of Popeyes. They were able to enjoy it without all the bells and whistles or even a drink lol.
