Double Down

 
Posted by Picasa


Oddly enough, I learned of the KFC Double Down from an ex-pat alum's Google away message. He lamented about not being able to try it for himself and posted a link from the BBC.

Luckily for me, one of my co-workers was just as curious as I was to try it. We picked a day during the breadless sandwich's debut week at the KFC at the end of the street. Since I was trying to stick to an everything-in-moderation lifestyle (and still doing so), I knew I wouldn't allow myself to polish off the whole thing in one sitting. I pre-packed some rice w/ quinoa and petite peas to off-set eating only half the Double Down.

It wasn't bad. It wasn't great. I was pleasantly surprised at how moist the chicken breast fillet was... but I was just as underwhelmed at the lack of flavor in the sauce. The bacon couldn't even save the disappointment of the "plastic" fast-food cheese slice!

The fact that I had other accouterments on my plate is what saved this experience from being a disappointing fail, and instead somewhat enjoyable.

What can I say? I'm not a no-carb kind of gal.
