OK, not looking to draw the wrath of Colonel Sanders and his army of lawyers that protect his estate, but we went to eat at KFC last week on a run up to Ciudad Quesada. . . And we're thinking that the Colonel has left out an herb or spice from his secret recipe down in these parts. . . It was good, but it didn't have the same pop that it does back in the States. Maybe our taste buds have changed (this was one of the few times we've eaten U.S. fast food since we've been here) but the conspiracy theorist that lurks not too deep below in me, suggests that instead of the 11 herbs and spices, we're getting perhaps nine or 10. . . The fried chicken at the family-style sodas, or restaurants, down here is really, really good. . . Has great flavor and is very juicy. Not sure what they're putting on it, but it's good eating--and less expensive than the Colonel. The one gripe (and it's a big one) is that you cannot get just a drumstick or a wing at the family places. You always have to get a breast (pechuga). . . I've argued in my miserable Spanish for just a bunch of wings and legs at several different places (even offering to pony up more colones) to no avail. Think it's time someone opened up a chicken joint here with just legs and wings, no pechugas. I'd go there on a regular basis.

They short you in Honolulu too! I went to KFC on Kapahulu and they told me they were out of chicken.
