There is probably a parallel between eating (or persuading others to eat) crap and writing it!
New to this forum stuff and not being well educated like you chaps I was wondering what Typhoo tea was doing on the forum.
And then I looked again, and sheesch. Do I feel stooped!

Tappit, welcome to our forum. A little insane sometimes, but here we are!

Good spelling is not necessarily required for good cooking? And vice versa?
Maybe the technical problem is that their spell checker broke?

Neither is needed for KFC, Jabber!
True, Mike!! 
Hey! I *like* their mashed potatoes and the cole slaw!!!
BJ, that is not mashed potatoes! I think it is wall paper paste!!
Finger-licking good! But, wash your hands first.
BJ, I forgot to ask...is the slaw as good as Outback's?
The best thing about Outback is the sauce that comes with the "Bloomin' Onion".
Serenity - we don't have cole slaw at the Outback's up here ... each region has slightly different items. I still enjoy KFC's slaw - it's got so much sugar it's like eating candy!
Dave - the bloom sauce isn't all that hard to make ... I'm sure if you google for it you'll find something that comes reasonably close to the actual recipe (which I can't give out - I signed the non-disclosure agreement). I prefer the remoulade (served with the 'grilled shrimp on the barbie' and the fish), but it's a pain to make.

We don't even have Outbacks!

Barbarians!
R2, we have and I still haven't gone to eat there.(Outback) I will one of these days.
Speaking of KFC, years ago, a man (the now well known Col Saunders) stopped at a friend of mine's little cafe, driving an old Caddie. He tried to sell my friend, for fifty dollars, a huge pressure cooker and the franchise for KFC in all of Indiana. My friend turned him down!

Aren't you in the UK? If so ...
Outback's UK Website
Outback's UK locations
Outback Steakhouse - soon to invade a country near you!
[just looked at the UK Outback menu ... portions are considerably smaller than the US, and you have a few items that I've never heard of ... I want the creme brulee!!]

Everything's bigger in the USA - especially waistlines!
So now I know - we DO have Outback - sadly nowhere near me!

Not true! It’s not that Americans are overweight – they are just too short. If the average height were 10 feet (don’t know the metric conversion), then they would be about the right size (maybe 12 feet for some).quote:Everything's bigger in the USA - especially waistlines!

Hmmm... they say UK, but really mean south-east England and a single location in the Midlands.
Some of us would have to travel 400 miles by car, others in Ulster would need to fly or go by boat!
I tend to avoid places whose names have things like 'Steakhouse' - there is a dreadful chain of pubs called so.
Sounds like where I live, Mike. It can be a 400 mile trip through mountains or worse, waiting in line for the boats to take you across to or from the outerbanks.

I was offline yesterday due to a thunderstorm, so the delayed answer/comment. A friend told me of a website that has a lot of these "secret" receipes, but he never bookmarked it; maybe one day when I have nothing to do (like when I am at work
) I will make an attempt to locate it.
The nearest Outback to me is about a 15 minute drive (if I miss all of the lights) but I have never been to that one. I'm sure that everyone wanted to know that! 
Here you go:

Dave, I wanted to know that because I wanted to say the nearest one to me is 10 minutes away and I haven't been there either! Dave, did you want to know that?

Is that worth it for a steak?
I don't actually like that far, Shirl - we are within a few miles of our city - Leeds - and near the motorway system and airport, despite the fact we have green fields around us. Those of us in Northern Scotland can be 700 miles from parts of England, and Northern Ireland (still UK) is part of another island.
Serenity -
That recipe comes close, although I don't know if I'd put oregano in anything
And their instructions on how to create the 'bloomin onion' will leave you with a big mess of onion pieces. DON'T cut the bottom off the onion, just trim the roots. You need that root area to hold the thing together! Once cooked, you 'core' it, which removes the root-end.
Other than Outback I usually avoid the chains too ... I've never been to Olive Garden; Once to Red Lobster; never to Chili's ... I prefer the single-owner establishments. Especially the ethnic restaurants that'll serve me the same thing that the table next to me is eating (and isn't on the menu).

Bj, well, I am so very close to Outback, I just am going to make a point to go sometime. It is kind of hard right now as my husband cannot eat out very well anymore.
When you go to the Outback Serenity, make sure you order a "Reef n Beef".
Lexie, is that steak and lobster or what?
Lex - Most US stores don't have a specific 'reef & beef' combo on the menu, but you can add lobster (or crab, depending on what region of the US you're in) to any of the dinners
Serenity - There's always 'curbside take away'! You can call your order in and pick it up in 20 minutes Like all take-out, double check your order before you drive away! Remember, Outback pork chops are quite tasty! Get them with the steamed veggies.

Bj, that would be my favorite...and I might just do that tomorrow!
