Look, I'm telling you as an Italian, I'm a great lover of this type of cuisine, and I would like there to be the same presence of these places as there are all over the world. Unfortunately you are right, for us in Italy this format would not work like the ones they did for China, Japan, the UK etc..., because Italians, just as you say, are stuck in the past at a culinary level, and it is such a mentality dirty that I can't stand it, because these people who despise these places are the same ones who have never set foot outside their country, or even worse who have never tried it even before judging but they talk. with this I am not saying that we need to spit on Italian cuisine, but simply that Italians must wake up and abandon this mentality abandoned on the past, on the old, and start welcoming this type of clientele (mostly teenagers) rather than just a slice that is, the elderly one, who remains with a mentality that is, to say the least, shameful. And sincerely, I repeat as an Italian, videos like this with Italy are welcome, at least we satisfy all customers and not just some.

southern europe in general is like that. no southern european country fits well for this stuff because we treat meals like something to sit down and eat and enjoy. during the summer or christmas holidays, and the weekends as well, a lunch or dinner might go on for 2 hours, not because people are waiting for their food, but because they're just chatting, enjoying their meal, ordering more stuff, and socializing like it's some sort of medieval feast

it's because of her accent (more accurately the dissonance between the oscillations of Italian and the somewhat more monotone of English) and the fact chicken is by far the f tier of poultry and chicken like she said is a reserved food for restaurants (the fancy kind you take dates on) so fried chicken outside of the tourism industry is a novelty.

Eating corn at the desk ... I've definitely done that in China! But over there, I much prefer the corn ice cream. Not surprised about Claudia's reaction to mac 'n' "cheese", considering there isn't a hint of cheese within miles of it.

Looking so yummy insider food. Especially, US KFC food, I love your video. Thanks for your sharing😘😋💓

i absolutely agree with joe how dry the biscuits or buns at the kfc or any fried chicken stalls are ..it will actually take quiet some to get it down the throat😂😂

When I was a teen (with high metabolism), I’d get a 6-pack of biscuits and a large gravy for a meal. Even though I think about it decades later, the closest I get now is a few tenders, 1-2 biscuits and a small gravy.

Never seen an Italian eat corn on the cob? Where do you live? Every year when we boil the tomatoes to make sauce we throw corn into the fires to have corn on the cob. Is this just southern Italy?

It’s Claudia!!! I love her other videos where she visits places and how things are made.

It's quite challenging to find an Italian truly enthusiastic about KFC. For example, in Italy, we have 12 million more inhabitants than Spain, yet there are more than twice as many KFC stores in Spain. In general, Italians are not very fascinated by the idea of putting fried chicken in a sandwich. I think Claudia will be a bit less reluctant when reviewing other more popular fast food options in Italy like McDonald's or Burger King.

Welcome Claudia to the show, love to see the diffrence between italy and us , fast food chains. 👍👍

i'm an Original Recipe guy, i love KFC no matter how much some people claim that it's gone down in quality. one hot take i have is i prefer the Fries over the Wedges, though KFC should batter them like they did the Wedges, or at least toss them in the 11 herbs and spices, just to make them stand out more.

Is Claudia being held at gunpoint??

Maybe it's my OCD talking, but it's buggin' me how the drumsticks and fries are measured in metric primarily in red background font, but the drinks are measured in Freedom Units (ounces) primarily with the same font treatment
