Monday December 13: Christmas gravy burger box meal
PRICE: £6.99 from KFC
To celebrate the news that KFC will be returning to Eastbourne town centre, I decided for my last festive food review I would try the Christmas burger that the fried chicken chain offers.

You’re reaction to this will likely hinge on whether you regularly order the regular gravy, I happen to be a big fan and so went into this with high hopes.
My thoughts after eating it were a combination of mild satisfaction and an undercurrent of needing to be sick.
The chicken, cheese, bread, and hashbrown taste standard and really aren’t worth discussing. The controversy here is all on the gravy sauce.

But it did intrigue me and I would try it again. For that I have to be generous, and coinciding with the news about KFC returning to our town, I will give it an 8/10.
