    Surely they'll make one up for you on request as a valued customer.

    Weird question but did you find the taste of KFC in New Zealand different to the taste in Australia?

    I haven't. I found KFC in the USA a worry. Pieces are three times bigger than here. Even the potato and gravy is like half the size of a family serve. In the USA I recommend a kids meal

    Is it bigger from thicker coating though, or is the chicken actually bigger?

    KFC In The states is bomb ****. Very nice, probably full of GMOs but really tasty I found. Drinks are huge, large coke is like a 1.25l bottle here.

    I call that the kiwi factor. No matter what you buy or cook over there it tastes slightly weird.

    Many prepackaged foods taste different due to market research ... the milo is smoother and creamier - the tomato sauce is more peppery (and less sugar) - even the cornflakes are different in some way

    In the US, the KFC secret herbs and spices for the Original Recipe chicken includes MSG

    Reference: KFC recipe challenge: Tribune kitchen puts the 11 herbs and spices to the test

    ...

    With the oil temperature just right at 350 degrees, the chicken soaked in buttermilk and coated just once in the breading mixture, we had our final tasting.

    How was it? Well, really good. In fact, tasters agreed the test kitchen fried chicken was even better than the Colonel's.

    But more important, did it taste like the Colonel’s secret blend of herbs and spices? It came very close, yet something was still missing. That’s when a reporter grabbed a small container of the MSG flavor-enhancer Accent (how did that get in the test kitchen?) and sprinkled it on a piece of the fried chicken. That did the trick. Our chicken was virtually indistinguishable from the batch bought at KFC. (Does KFC add MSG? A KFC spokesperson confirms that it does use it in the Original Recipe chicken.)​
