Popeye's

[Anonymous]

It has gotten in my head and I'm going perilously near one. Please remind me that it will not be worth it. That the crappy way I will feel after eating it outweighs any tastiness.

I had some yesterday for the first time in years. It was delicious. I felt fine, but probably won't have any for another 5 years or so.

^^ Easy - satisfy your craving but just buy one leg, thigh or breast.

The problem is not Popeyes as much as the fact that most people gorge themselves on stuff like this.

Love the stuff but I have it once a year, at most.

Same here. Just get a small meal, have water with it.

Get some tenders, not the bone-in pieces. The tenders are not as greasy.

Reading this is making me crave it! I'm totally going to end up buying Popeyes for lunch now. Spicy chicken breast, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a biscuit...mmmmm...

Those red beans and rice are the BEST!

Not at ALL the same. Get a thigh and a biscuit. Mmmmmm.

I used to love Popeye's and it smells great but I now find the chicken soooo greasy it's gross. Love the biscuits and coleslaw/side dishes tho. I suppose that's a good thing now that I'm hitting 50 LOL and have had a much healthier diet than I used to have. Back in the day, I would inhale some Popeye's!

The answer is moderation.

A thigh or breast with a small side and your craving is satisfied and you don't feel guilty.

I feel guilty just reading about this!

It's Forbidden Fruit.

I take the opposite approach, partly in order to be sure I only have it once or twice a year: I get the three piece meal and eat all of the skin and some of the meat. Later I'm reminded why I ought not to do things like that.

I love Popeyes, and there's one on the way to my ex's house so occasionally we'll get it after I pick up my daughter. It's delicious. I get one chicken breast (original recipe) and some mashed potatoes and I'm good to go. Since I don't do it often, I eat the skin.

I also crave taco bell sometimes, where I get two doritos locos tacos and an order of pintos without cheese. Yum. It's all about the moderation, baby.
