I ate at KFC again over the weekend. The Cajun chicken sandwich is called the New Orleans. Makes sense. I'm not sure too many Americans who know anything about Cajuns. The corn relish is not bad. The flavor of the sauce is more like Miracle Whip than mayo. I doubt they use real mayo here anyway. My own Captcha system caught me on my last post! I ate at KFC again over the weekend.

At Centre many of my friends in my year are two years older or so, only because it took them a little longer to actually apply to a college, get accepted, and receive a visa. Also, that corn relish sounds gross. I think it's the mayo part that gets me. There's seasoning or something in it, right? There's a McD's in downtown Angouleme that I pass every time I go grocery shopping. Their new sign for a new sandwich says CBO - Chicken Bacon Oignons. Hah. Looks like they just took the exact board from the USA and tried to Frenchify it...but chicken = poulet, bacon is the same I guess, onions = oignons. Funny. It's too bad I didn't get a picture of the board they had out previously - 4 different country-themed hamburgers. Like, USA, UK, Australia and...I don't remember the other one.
