#BlogLife687 - First Popeye's experience in the UK

I'm curious about the KFC UK and Popeye's comparison. I think I read or heard or saw that our fried chicken is softer and the American one is more crispier...

I doubt I will make it for the breakfast eggy muffin, I think that stops around 11am?!

But the other thing I want to see is if they over batter the wings, it ruins the taste for me, I think because it's overcooked and tough.

It's local to me so I don't have to go out of my way to get it, but it's going to depend on how busy they are, if I can wait around to be served.

The pain has been building since the weekend or maybe just before and I don't want to make it worse.

Popeye's just opened so it's going to be a huge novelty gimmick and I'm not sure there is another fried chicken place in the immediate area..

I'll try to take some images for Twitter but it depends on how wrecked I am, when I get back indoors.

I also ponder if they use paper bags or easier to carry plastic ones, the paper ones will kill my hands.

I'll stop in at my favourite shop and pick up dessert or drinks, as they have huge sturdy bags.

Back home and it's been a disaster. I popped into Popeye's to get my order but I think it's self checkout only and I despise faffing around with machines, plus there were a few people queueing and by the time I got home it would be cold.

Luckily or so I thought, it was on Just Eat, I placed the order to try a bit of everything and have leftovers, a burger, some wings, some tenders and lastly the wrap.

I don't hear the bike or car specifically but the tracking says delivered and it isn't to my place, where I've given helpful address hints.

Just Eat doesn't have a number you can speak to anyone anymore which sucks.

I go online and request a complete refund and they say they will get back to me.

Whichever neighbour is dishonest enough to receive a free meal and not say, sorry wrong address, I didn't order this, is just horrible, I wouldn't do that.

Ugh, so much corruption in this world. I decided to just order from my sweet local cafe and they always know me and give me surplus too.

I'm too tired to move. Sorry I couldn't give you a review but I really did try.

The pain is still bad. The only positive note for today is that I finally got my Yash lip balm duo.

It has a hint of strawberries, is easy to squeeze out, it's like a creamy lotion, it's nice, I wiped it off so that I could munch and my mouth is still soft.

I'm not sure how effective it will be for the chapping but the initial sample is pleasant so I will update you later on in the month.
