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.

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

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

[@alexrafe2590]

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).

[@lifebeginstoday10]

Food has always brought cultures together and that's why you'll find similar recipes from different countries and that is because the recipes were SO good it had to be shared and passed down to families. ❤ I don't appreciate someone saying it was stolen, (especially from a Brit) when it was more likely someone gave it and shared it with love.

[@AkRenee]

They should have brought them Popeye's red beans and rice to try! Or Dirty rice. I don't know anyone who eats biscuits and gravy at Popeyes, but the rice is a must!

@@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.

American who also lived in the UK here. I have never eaten popeye's biscuits with gravy. I also eat it with packets of honey. I know that biscuits & gravy is a meal in the South.

Also though I no longer eat meat, Black people enjoying chicken are such vibes. Warms my heart. And Popeyes was my favorite chain place for chicken when I did eat meat.
