tYotP: K
This post is part of the Year of the Purge : A to Z series. Every other Sunday, I’ll get rid of something starting with the letter A and working my way to the letter Z by the end of December. This week I’m getting rid of K.

Need I say more?
About once a year I get a mad craving for KFC. About once a year, I eat some KFC. About once a year, I get severe “stomach upsets*”. I really think those two are connected somehow.
No more KFC!
*Do any of you know of a nicer way to say explosive diarrhea?

I would call it “KFC syndrome.”

I refuse to eat at KFC for that very reason. It took me a year to get a clue, though.

I guess I’ll be the one to clue you in….there really isn’t a polite way to say “explosive diarrhea”….besides it’s funnier when you say “explosive diarrhea”.
I <3 KFC – but not their chicken….even the crispy chicken is always soggy. But I do love me some mashed potatoes. I haz a stomach o’ steel.

The same thing happens to us. We live down the street from a KFC and can smell it from time to time and it builds up our craving. So once every year or two, we cave and buy some… and get sick as dogs. Time to kick the K.

I hate gut rot. There is no nice, polite way to talk about the “fast food syndrome”!! But it sure does make me giggle

I used to have the same kind of KFC cycle. Eat it, remember how awful it makes me feel, then the cravings start, then start to forget how awful it makes me feel, give in to the craving, and then begin the cycle of regret all over again…

@THE BROTHER: Hum… Ouais.
@Avitable: Good idea!
@Hilly: That’s because you’re a smart cookie.
@Dave2: I bow down (but not behind you!).
@SheilaCSR: Then you should have a bucket, it’s not chicken!
@Sybil Law: Well, you’re not Wonder Woman for nothing.
@Kapgar: But it smells so good!
@Chrissi: I’m the same way with McDonald’s now.
@Becky: Giggle away woman!
@Suze: No more! Starbucks on Monday, right?

I think you’d say it, “Les merdes.”
KFC has grilled chicken now … you might find it stomach safe.

I have that issue with McDonalds, once a year craving, and then WHOOSH! Clean system…
Ever since Avitable had that ‘issue’ a while back while he was traveling, in my mind, I affectionately call it “AdamAss”.
I’m sure he would be thrilled to know that.

As delmer says, the grilled chicken may be sustainable.
Isn’t KFC known as PFK in Montreal?

@Delmer: Actually, we say “le flux”.
@BubbleWench: AdamAss. That has a nice ring to it.
@MartyMankins: Yes to PFK, which stands for “Poulet Frit à Kentucky”.
