I just ate "jambo." It's delicious, and it tastes a bit as if you were smelling a rose.

That's Don Vito... as in Don Vito Corleone... lol If you talk nice, and give me your e-mail address, I'll send it all to you. I can't decide what I want to get first though. It's either gonna be a churrasqueira(grill) or a deep fryer. I had a friend send me this online cookbook, that has about 400 recipes in it for many, many things that you can make at home, for restaurants in the States.(go to page 3 of this thread) One of the recipes it has, of all things, is for Miracle Whip. I know, ya either love it or hate it...

It is certainly comfort food for a lot of Americans like me.

But does yours have the eleven herbs and spices that the Colonel's does ??? lol

DonVito, you got me there! All my mom ever put in the flour was garlic salt and pepper, and I can't make it with the extra crispy skin that you can get at KFC, true.

Still, when I've cooked up a batch for friends or family, they don't seem to mind.

That's alright. I like the regular and the extra crispy. I'd probably have liked your mom's chicken too. Truth is, I never met a chicken I didn't like.

I also have stuff from Cracker Barrel, like their hash brown casserole, bread pudding, and chocolate-cherry cobbler. I have to believe that that last one would go over fairly well down here too.
