KFC Mexican Wrap
Happy Cinco de Mayo! You know that holiday, right? Yes, the one celebrated by all the Texans, strangely, and barely noticed by the Mexicans.
I celebrated by dragging the DH to KFC to eat a Mexican wrap sandwich, the only thing on the KFC menu I will eat (other than their mashed potato side.) The Mexican wrap is composed of a tortilla (where have you been all my life!?), lettuce, tomato and three spicy, boneless chicken pieces. Oh and a squirt of taco sauce. How sad is it that the most authentic Mexican food in Linyi is at KFC? They also offer a Peking Duck wrap that is horrifically sweet.
This is only the second time in the last year that I’ve eaten at KFC. Quite honestly, I don’t think I’ll be back. I have no problem at all with McDonald’s, especially for their sundaes and coffee, but KFC feels uncomfortable somehow… Anyway, hope you have a happy Cinco de Mayo, whatever the holiday might mean to you.
And to my SIL – Happy, Happy Birthday!

I’ve tried both KFC and Taco Hell in Iceland…needless to say, it was a traumatic experience. Icelanders still haven’t figured out that Mexican-ish food is supposed to have some spice and flavor! ;’)

Sounds like the Spaniards. They are afraid of spice, too!
Heh heh… I don’t like going to KFC because Colonel Sanders looks just like my Dad. So much so that, when he came to visit us and decided to go into the place himself, the crowds parted and the manager called him “Boss” and they gave him a ridiculous amount of freshly made food for free. (All during the lunch rush)
My Dad couldn’t figure out whether they thought he actually was Colonel Sanders or John Hammond.
Josh is convinced of this as well, so when his Grandpa walked in the door bearing “gifts” he was both awed and upset, realizing that the world is not a fair place and that, perhaps he should start behaving himself or he would never again be allowed to eat at a KFC. Ah, the thoughts of a kindergartner…
The fact that your Dad got special treatment at KFC for resembling the Colonel is fantastic. I got a big smile out of that. And Josh? How cute. I can’t imagine what a responsibility it must be to have the Colonel as your grandpa.
I’m sending you an email today…
I spent Cinco de Mayo at BBK with the regular crew. They somehow convinced me to go out and drink . . . and that is exactly what I did. 7 shots in the course of an hour later and I was ready to go home. I’m such a light weight. Poor Phil had to help me across the world and up to our room. And he had to hold my hair as I added to the Accumulation of Civilization statue out front.
7 shots!? Of all the places you could have “added to,” the Accumulation of Civilization sounds perfect. LOL! I hope you’re feeling better!
Cinco de Mayo is my birthday too! I started the night drinking margaritas at a Mexican restaurant in Beijing. Honestly I hate the place and normally would not be seen dead in there, but they do really good (and strong!) margaritas.
Unfortunately it turned into a case of 1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila, floor! How old do I need to get before I learn Tequila is NOT my friend?
Awesome day for a birthday, in my opinion. I’ve been to a Mexican place in Beijing called Amigos that I thought was pretty good. However, I’m not much of a judge anymore. I’m looking forward to trying out lots of new places (and Margaritas) when we move to Beijing. Thanks for stopping by!
