[@manojmohan9893]

There are few things which makes India a difficult market for Western fast food QSR - 1. Indian's value freshness of food. 2. We don't mind smaller portion coz most of us don't think of just having KFC for dinner, we instead see KFC as a light dinner or as a snack at the mall/a quick grab. 3. Price sensitivity - Like all Asians we live on a strict budget. This results in the menu prices staying same but smaller portion. There are many more reasons but these are the most important I feel 👍

[@lavendertownsyndrome455]

Fun fact: no two biryani's from any two restaurant tastes the same. That variation is very very very significant. Like sometimes the cheaper options at street side hotels is way tastier than that of high class 5stat restaurants. Also every part of india has there own styles of biryani in which the south>west>north part of em is the taste order(spicier too). If theres anything that we indians cant tell enough off ,yet theres always even more to say its our food and culture. For outsiders they might seem so stereotypical but in reality they are so complex and different that not any single stereotype can describe. Theres still so much to tell about biryani but idk where to start

[@garrydhamot8531]

Shoooo, no one asked or is interested.

[@user-hw2fi4nz8u]

The taste order is subjective. I personally don't like biryani from south a lot cause I'm lucknow and pretty much used to our biryanis.

[@amchez97]

I was very glad when Nikhil brought up KFC prices relative to income, I was confused at the comparison until that point. I think that doing the math to account for purchasing power in Indian rupees vs USD would give a much clearer view of what the cost means for average Indians and Americans.

[@harshitabhuyan8892]

Also all ingredients are much cheaper in india that's why they can manage to earn a profit at that price.

[@danishverma187]

Yep you can surely find a KFC alternative dish in India with much lower price with almost the same crispiness and taste (if not better)

[@anuragsharma7761]

@@danishverma187 KFC does have a very specific taste and texture which can be pretty hard to mimic. I have not found any fried chicken with same taste and textures as KFC (maybe I have not tried enough, would love some sugeestions). BUT India has many more, extremely delicious dishes at the same price range KFC has to offer. A 300-400 rupees biriyani from a decent restaurant always give the feeling which no KFC can.

[@Harshiahaha]

I think that's also due to the fact that KFC being a BRAND, the prices are high. Here in India, you can have a really delicious meal for 1 to 1.5 dollars. I think the food is cheap over here compared to other nations.

Hey Joe!

[@dipu94321]

I wonder if anyone is aware of this, but back in 2004-5 when we were toddlers and enjoyed KFC, we had a menu closer to the US version. Mashed potatoes, coleslaw, corn on the cob, Original fried chicken, potato salad. It was a blast and i genuinely preferred the original fried chicken to the crispy fried version we used to get then, and is now the default version of KFC. You could taste the pressure fried nature of KFC in that original version, not as much in the crispy fried version Regardless, KFC has declined considerably in their quality (anyone who has had KFC prior to 2010 can vouch for it. the discontinuation of Coleslaw and Original fried recipe also went hand in hand with a decline in quality) in India for the most part, when other brands like Broasters could not survive at all. Which speaks volumes of the cutthroat nature of the Indian market and the absolute abundance of options we have everywhere for fast and cheap food.

[@aleenageorge1710]

First time I went to KFC in India, there was a strips and 4 sauces thing. Just the sauces alone were so different from the US version that I went again on the same trip. Favorite US KFC item is the famous bowl. Mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, chicken, it’s all my favorite things in a bowl 🤣

[@arpitagrawal83]

Well, to put the pricing into perspective, the PPP of India and US is around 20INR=1USD. This means, a thing which costs INR 20 is approximately as 'pricey' is a 1 dollar thing. So if an item costs 200 INR, and 10 USD, it is equally expensive. With that in mind, the 8-pc bucket is nearly 1.5 times as expensive in India as compared to US.

In Britain most ‘Indian’ food is made by these bangledeshi people🤮 they know nothing of our food and hate India but love using the India label if it makes them money. Also most Indian restaurants in Britain are halal, another example of it being not Indian

[@ashokathegreat4534]

The difference is that besides the restaurant ‘Gymkana’ in London all other ‘Indian’ restaurants/takeaways are actually poor attempts by Bangladeshi’s and Pakistanis of making Indian food

Loved the way nikhil explained vegetarianism in India. Wished he had commented about the irony of KFC serving vegetarian eggless mayo, which is essentially milk powder suspended in oil!

[@AmariKhumalo]

i dont understand why ppl go vegan diet when meat is good for you it just seems dumb to me i am just being straight up it dont make any sense and you kill yourself not eating meat

[@shygirl4382]

@@AmariKhumalo Honestly, being vegetarian or vegan is a choice that people are free to make. My comment was only about KFC which has a predominantly non-vegetarian menu switching their mayo to vegetarian. The individuals consuming chicken options would be perfectly fine with egg mayo and are not particularly looking or asking for veg mayo..

[@betterlatethannever4529]

For those curious. Eating with the left hand is seen as unclean because it's considered the primary hand used to clean one's self....take that as you will...especially for those who do most things with the right hand....

[@terynb4407]

😂 I was trying to do that math in my head... does India have a lot of left handed individuals? Cause like I'm trying to understand

[@harshitabhuyan8892]

@@terynb4407 Nope. Let me put it without filter. Culturally we use our dominant hand (for the majority it's the right hand) for eating, writing, etc. And we use the left hand to clean ourselves, like in India we don't believe in toilet paper but rather we soap it up and wash it off with water then we thoroughly wash our hands so basically the left hand is as clean as the right one but traditionally people associate it with the hand that is used to do "cleaning of the dirty parts" or some crap like that so we don't use it to eat.

[@Anonymous-qg8nn]

I eat with left hand, whachu talkin' about never heard anyone talking about it 👁️👄👁️

[@betterlatethannever4529]

I'm right handed, but my sister is left. It's definitely rare to come across left handed

[@itsadil4398]

I got you bro Rule one is: eat with your right hand only. In India, as right across Asia, the left hand is for wiping your bottom, cleaning your feet and other unsavoury functions (you also put on and take off your shoes with your left hand), while the right hand is for eating, shaking hands and so on.

I do.. I’m a vegetarian and I want to experience Biryani. Or at least don’t want to feel left out when you’re having some. Indian non vegetarians used to be so understanding and respectful, now they’ve become arrogant and condescending like the west.

[@hasrataulakh]

@@globalcitizenn and they are stupid…..while the westerners are moving to vegetarianism they want to mock those in India….whats up with these extremist non vegetarians who want to prove veg is useless, i am also a non vegetarian, but biryani no way compares to comfort of Rajma Chawal.

Reading one of the comments just reminded me that we actually got a tour of the KFC kitchen (while in class 12 and having a day out), not that we asked for it but the staff had some policy and for that particular day they chose me and my 3 friends to give us a tour of the kitchen, pretty interesting day I must say😅

Not only that I also liked the double down burgers where instead of buns, the chicken used to be the thing replacing it and in between were the sauces.
