US vs UK Popeyes | Food Wars

I'm from the UK and I had Popeyes for the first time the other day as a new store had opened up in our local city. My god it was incredible, easily the best fried chicken I've ever had, it puts KFC to shame. I had the tendies and went for a 5 piece classic and a 3 piece spicy so I could try both. Both were incredible. I will definitely be going back! The only bad thing about it is it's ruined other fried chicken for me!

PS, MSG got a bad rap a few decades ago. It is simply a form of sodium. Yes we should watch our sodium intake. However MSG naturally occurs in things like tomatoes. It makes things extra delicious. It has not been proven to be an allergen, as far as I can tell from some research. There was a bias against Chinese restaurants because they often use MSG, a reviewer put fear into people about it and the stigma remains to this day. Look up Harold McGee's scientific take on MSG and decide for yourself.

[@DarrenBoss1984]

I'm from the UK and although MSG isn't technically banned here (yet) a lot of manufacturers here put it on the front of the labels.

Usually fish sandwiches come out during the Lenten season, which is a time Catholics observe from March (Ash Wednesday) up until Easter and abstain from eating meat on Fridays. Since Popeyes is a Louisiana founded company, and Louisiana has a large Catholic demographic, this is likely why the flounder was released. I believe it's currently on the menu. Just a random tidbit from a New Orleanean to you. lol

[@Mariaka181]

How is fish not considered meat?

Nearly every American fast food company comes out with a fish sandwich during lent And they all suck too because they put no effort

@@Mariaka181 Poultry is in its own category other than beef and pork. Yes it's all meat, but they're considered different. Idk.

[@djm4854]

@Gabrielle Snider I dunno. Ppl argue that, while a fish is an animal, meat itself derives from warm-blooded land animals, as opposed to cold-blooded sea creatures. I believe it goes back to matters of language. Catholic teaching historically roots itself in Latin, and the Latin word 'carne' referred specifically to the flesh of land & air animals.

[@djm4854]

[@sucyshi]

I suspect the chicken weights for the tendies, sandwiches, etc vary not by country but just randomly based off of the size of the chicken that just happens to be supplied. Though I assume the UK would trend slightly lower because they aren't exactly known for factory farms like we are in the US

[@nurulafser6473]

6:34 The only way this video’s creation was possible was the fact that 3 Popeye’s locations opened in London. 2 of which (Whitechapel, Battersea) are kitchens. The only regular location (Stratford City, which, conventionally, is no more than a 7-minute drive from my house) stands on the Lower Ground Floor of the Westfield shopping centre, built part of the 2012 Summer Olympics. The site was originally where a KFC was, so you can probably understand what Harry means in more depth.

It doesn’t surprise me with the fish in the red beans and rice, everyone always forgets that Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies. I run food competitions at the place I work and I always have to remind people of this, so that it gets properly labeled for allergy purposes in our competitions. People always look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them to make sure they label any fish in their chili, until I remind them about the Worcestershire sauce. 😂

Giving this video a thumbs up just for Harry's Animal Crossing t-shirt. Also, I dunno if it's just the lighting, but the US chicken looks a lovely golden colour, whereas the UK stuff looks overly dark.

[@antiquebeast]

I noticed there's more fat involved with the UK items. I'm thinking they might use too much shortening in the batter or they might fry it too long. Both would explain the dark color and higher fat content.

Ever since Popeyes showed up in the UK, I haven't stopped having it. I just found out right now that they do breakfast too! Im waiting for them to open to order. It's all priced very similarly to McDonald's so it's not too expensive! We all know McDonald's stopped being cheap during the pandemic. But if you find it affordable, then might as well try Popeyes if it's near you. In 30 minutes I will try their Muffins, rolls, hash browns and biscuits with jam, like I remember when I was a kid in the US. Never had Popeyes until it came to the UK though. It didn't exist in Fort Lauderdale in the 90s and early 2000s.
