DINSDALE!I read a book some 20+ years ago that supposedly scientifically analyzed KFC chicken to determine the 11 herbs and spices. I don't remember the name of the book after all these years.
It claimed that all they could detect was salt, pepper, and MSG -- any other spices were either too small to be detected, or not (or no longer) present.
I had a taste for original KFC not too long ago. Didn't really match what I remembered and didn't have much spice flavor at all.
