Somewhere deep in the bowels of KFC‘s global R&D department resides a mad scientist, cooking up the most unfathomably ridiculous concoctions that can only be described as affronts to God, before shipping them out to all corners of the world for what appears to be little logical reason.
We’ve had the unholy monstrosity that is the Zinger Double Down King in South Korea, the sheer horror that is the Double Down Dog in the Philippines, and now it’s our Black Capped siblings from across the ditch in New Zealand‘s turn to receive one of the master creator’s latest artery destroying monsters.
Although, that said, this one actually doesn’t look too bad. Hell, it looks entirely edible truth be told. For a limited time, KFC New Zealand is serving up Crispy Burritos – a mouth-watering combination of chicken strip, bacon, cheese, and bourbon BBQ sauce, wrapped in a tortilla and flash fried golden brown.
We should point out the we know that a deep-fried burrito is technically a chimichanga, but you’ll have to take those objections up with the Kiwi KFC.
Where this succeeds where the other fails is that it’s not a gastronomic effort to consume. Quite the opposite. In fact, not only can you score yourself one of these bad boys, if you’re feeling particularly peckish you can nab a pair of them, with a regular chips and drink, for the entirely reasonable price of NZ$9.90.
And here we are in ‘Straya trying to convince ourselves that Zinger Pies are in any way good like the true suckers that we are. God damn it.
You’ll have to hustle if you want to get your hands on one. They’re only available for a limited time only. And you’ll have to travel further afield than Aukland Airport to get one. Luckily for you New Zealand is a beautiful country full of perfectly great tourist attractions to visit while you’re there.
Y’know, like… uh… hobbits. And Scribe. And… um… Richard Hadlee.
Kia ora, bros!
