I have been waiting (im)patiently for Pinko to post about the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) experience and he has finally done so. And he did so in a thoughtful and serious way that simultaneously impresses and disappoints me. I am impressed because I think he manages to cover the taste sensation well but I am disappointed because I feel that the emotion and tableside discussions were given short shrift.
For example, he describes the apportioning of the food correctly: 3 plain pieces, 3 savory sauce pieces, 2 sweet pieces, and 2 spicy pieces. He also correctly describes the full-on deliciousness of the chicken. He does not, however, describe the spirited debate and horrible chicken blasphemy that occurred during the meal. He mentions, in passing, that he likes honey on fried chicken and would have liked more but does not discuss the nefarious attempts he made to reapportion the fried chicken so that on future orders he would get a disproportionate share. I was forced to loudly and vociferously defend my right to enjoy both spicy and savory chicken. He was befuddled by how someone could enjoy a delicious tomato sauce on fried chicken. I didn’t even try to explain the concept of ketchup because he was past the point of listening to reason. Regardless, he would have omitted this delicious taste sensational from his personal suite of flavors and thus deprived himself of a valuable set of flavor characteristics when you only get the savory sauce with the spicy overtone.
Additionally, I feel that he has withheld information about the remainder of the evening from everyone and I am lodging a formal complaint. Unfortunately, I cannot actually tell you about the excluded portion of the evening because I (and this is my mistake!) hastily agreed to be blogger ethics signatory. So let this post stand as a flag planted in the internet to say that I will fight for the right of the internet to know about the other events that transpired that fateful evening and how they are, even now, slowly building to a force that may yet rock the ‘sphere to its very nonsensical foundations.
Thank you for your patience and please stay tuned for updates as I can provide them.

I can’t do that until I get a personal, voluntary waiver from my source.

People think I can’t handle the truth, but I can. I need to know … the rest of the story.

Are you violating the non-disclosure agreement?
FOR SHAME.

I merely noted that the evening continued…

I’ll admit that I’m intrigued. Since the original post fulsome is referring to here happened a good 1.5 weeks ago (an eternity in internet time), I believe the statute of limitations has expired.
So feel free to give the full sordid details.

I want a full report which obviously would include how the food felt 22 hours later.

Don’t be such a hootch, what happened?!

[...] it is clear that this blog will NOT comment on ungoing investigations. However, sources close to Three Bulls! who refuse to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter [...]
