I remember coming to the US for the first time in 2014 as a tourist and went to KFC, assuming it would be the ultimate version of what we, the Poles, had known and liked since the 90s. There were two surprises:
1) it tasted way, WAY worse than Polish version, we couldn't even finish it. When I asked for the spicy ones while ordering, I was given a weird look and told in response that they had 'hot sauces available if I wanted it hot'. Later, after moving to the US, I found Popeye's more akin to the taste from the homeland,
2) the US chicken tenders were the size of EU chicken breast. Now this Twitter thread stresses the breed, but that breed could be also grown in EU, so I wonder what's the actual explanation for the difference?
