Chicken Treat do better Roast Chicken than Coles or Woolies, whenever I feel like Roast Chicken I grab it from CT.

Does anyone actually cook themselves a roast chicken these days? It just seems way too convenient to buy your own cooked chook these days.

Only go there about once every month or 2 but all I get from CT now is a chicken roll, chips and gravy.

Didn’t think anyone bought chicken rolls from any takeaway chicken outlets - just left over bits and stuffing isn’t it

Sure and reheated in the micro iirc. I still like the things on the odd occasion though for some strange reason.

I don't know how they do it these days but my first job was a Chicken Treat kitchen hand back in the day and the rolls were made from the night before chicken and a roll paste made up of mayonnaise and chicken stuffing mixed together into a paste. They had a two day expiry date and were nuked in the microwave for 30 seconds on demand.

Had some Rooter the other night. Rooster Roll and chips, still kills it. Felt like shit afterwards but hey.

Anyone know a decent place in Perth or inner suburbs that’ll show the A-League tomorrow?

I recall my nephew telling me similar back in the day and him saying how awful it was. I never ate another one again

The rolls made fresh were heavenly though. Whenever friends or family or myself or staff alike came in to order they would order the rolls as we would on these occasions actually take the time to cut open a fresh roll, put the paste into them and also fresh chicken cooked no longer than three hours beforehand. I thought the usual rolls were great already but with fresh everything they were taken to a whole new level.

I have no idea why we Perth people always compare ourselves to the Eastern states, and yes I have lived that way.

We have the best beaches in the world, the best city park in the world, and the sun is so in love with the Wild West it consents to set under our sea.

We are blessed Perth.

Had their six piece bucket last night. That will be missed. Could do with a direct competitor to KFC.

KFC here is really bad. I've actually noticed over the last 10 years fast food here in general has been getting pretty shit. The portions are getting smaller, prices are going up a little not down and the quality of the food is ass. (Too many young kids working there these days?)

I know it's called fast food for a reason but seriously you can't say the KFC batter / cooking method today is the same to what it was even 5 years ago and that McDonalds burgers are the same size as they used to be.

I think the only consistent FF branch left is Hungry Jacks (I like the old nuggets they had here, actually the best thing) and Chicken Treat. Would be a real shame if CT closed, I don't want to lose the tradition of buying my roast chickens for Xmas day from them.

I dunno KFC quality is generally pretty great for me.

All fast food chains are pretty shit. Give me an independent joint like Pappas Pizza any day

Cheeky Brothers do a very acceptable store bought pizza too.

These and a six pack of craft ales is the 2018 version of a Papa Guiseppe's and half a carton of Swan.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Speaking of Swan, I was at the Feddy in Freo the other day and some bloke asked the European bar girl for 'super.' I think he said super. Apparently that's what a heap of people call Swan? Anyone able to expand on this important facet of WA culture?

Can't expand, but every country pub we visited post cricket or footy game it was jugs of super and when I asked whats super they looked at me like I was from another planet.

Probably not 'decent' in SA world but Patriots has about 20 or 30 screens and always shows multiple sports.

Good hot dogs and Torpedo IPA on tap.

 

[Scotland]

If someone said 'super' to me at the pub I'd know exactly what they meant, but I wouldn't go to the bar and order a 'jug of super' and assume that the person behind the bar would know what it meant.

 

[Billy ray]

Wasnt super what leaded petrol was called back in the day when there was petrol (super) and diesel only?
And you’d have someone at petrol stations who would pump your fuel?
So youd say $10 worth of super. Or fill er up with super.

So in a pub sense it was back when there was very little choice of beers on tap and the standard one every pub had was swan so it was nicknamed super?!

 

[Scotland]

Was super and unleaded when I got my license.

 

[perthblue]

She needs super, dude! Super! Dude!

Yes SA. Swan Draught has for a long time been nicknamed 'super', and as Billy ray notes it is an allusion to the days of 'super' (leaded) and unleaded petrol.
