Thank you, I just think it helps give us ideas, meal planning can become a chore sometimes.

The KFC one.

I might try a tsp of cinnamon next time, Ant could be onto something.

Just back from Cyprus and I did manage 1 KFC out there, greasy as ... I would think a tsp of cinnamon may be a little much, if anything it's a background flavour.

For the actual coating I use this recipe, it is at the bottom of the article.
m.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2009/jul/24/kfc-secret-recipe-revealed

(from the Guardian article)
'KFC' mix

1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons Accent (MSG)

I might give that a try, indeed. The MSG will be left out, though. I knew there was some reason I was damn near addicted to KFC - MSG and me don't go well together.

Chinese wholesale supermarkets sell it by the 1L, 5L and 25L drum. Not very expensively, either. Enough in one of those to keep a family restaurant going for a week, I would think. That opened my eyes to how much of the stuff I've consumed over the years and I started to realise that many of my fast-food and junk-food habits were based on the drug-dependency that MSG creates - the drug in this case not being the MSG, but the food itself.
Ever wondered why, after finishing a Chinese, you fancy another one shortly after? That's the MSG talking.
Whenever I get hit by unexpected cravings for something I go back over the packets and bottles I've opened in the course of the day and always find something that's contained it. Just a teaspoon's worth will have me hungry later on.
