The meal here is the new alternative to 'Meat Lover' tart. The sandwich is called 'Double Down' and includes churrasco bacon, cheese and dressing wrapped in two pieces of fried chicken. (Photo: KFC's website) Enlarge image
Double Down is what American fast food might end up: a sandwich with two slices of bacon, two slices of cheese, mayonnaise dressing and instead of the bun: Two pieces of breaded, deep fried chicken. Lettuce and Tomato? Of course not.
Boston Globe wrote head on it. Statistician Nate Silver has drawn graphs of it. A reviewer in the New York Times has grappled with it, and a blog has described it with a photo essay. An American physician organization has taken a position on it, and a business website has rated the image.
We are talking about a sandwich that fast food chain KFC put on the market last week and have hit a nerve somewhere between the American self-understanding and a deep fried daydream. On the one hand, the Double Down sandwich either bad or so bad that it should be sold with the same warning signs as drain cleaner. On the other hand, sells it as the warm bread that it contains. Meat and cheese - no bread for Double Down is what the American churrasco fast food sandwich might end up. A sandwich without bread. A sandwich with meat wrapped in meat - two pieces of breaded, deep fried chicken wrapped around two slices of bacon, two slices of cheese, mayonnaise dressing - and zero lettuce and tomato. So meaty, there is no room for a bun, cheer KFC in its advertising campaign.
There are natural disasters that the American media has given less publicity than the Double Down, and it is not due to its culinary qualities, its taste, but rather that, in more ways than one quarreling with good taste. For while the mayor of New York campaigning against salt in the food, and Obamacare forces all chains to disclose calories of the menu, and while the media says that one third of Americans are overweight, and 27 per cent. of the youngsters are too fat to serve in the military - while it and in spite of it, comes as a sandwich churrasco that will 'arm wrestle with Michelle Obama and her organic herb garden, as online magazine Salon has written. Naughty cousin But why lands such a naughty cousin just now - and get such a mention?
One is of course churrasco that it is so much across the trend. McDonald's has retired its super-size menu and gotten increase of salads and latté, and KFC - Kentucky Fried Chicken - even started in 2009 to offer non-fried chicken. Double Down is thus a flashback to another churrasco time. The second explanation is about the American psyche. Yes, Americans say in polls that they will live healthy and drink low-fat milk, but it is not what they think, as a former churrasco marketing manager put it. They believe that they would prefer to live as greaves and give the finger to the fiber.
Double Down seems to confirm it and nourish hence the self-doubt or lack of sophistication that the conversing Americans believe characterizes their country men. As the popular website 'The Awl' concludes: America - we did it! We are exactly as people think we are.
The New York Times is madanmelderen Sam Sifton concerned about how the world will look at a United States churrasco that introduces the kind of pornographic fast food at the same time as 'Haitians eat mud bread'.
The conservative Allahpundit believes that the recession is the explanation for the Double Down. It can be caused by narrow neck that Americans seek solace in the kind of 'lavpandet food', he writes. Boston Globe striker churrasco sandwich with irony and states that "Americans will blow loud and proud with all dietary rules', churrasco and therefore fast food chains also deliver the goods. Could KFC does not have squeezed ground beef in the sandwich? As with pork and cheese chips?
According churrasco to KFC contains such a sandwich 540 calories, 145 mg cholesterol, 1,380 mg of salt and 32 grams of saturated fat. It is half
