From the serious and worthy to the complete opposite side of the spectrum, this video by East London grime crew Red Hot Entertainment is an ode to the Junior Special meal offered at their local KFC imitator, Southern Fried Chicken. It really made me chuckle.
London is awash with KFC immitators who knock out chicken of a very dubious quality at very low prices. From the lyrics it’s clear that the ‘Junior Spesh’ consists of a piece of chicken (leg or wing), a portion of chips and a can of drink, all for £1.50. Not a bad deal.
Don’t forget, mayo is an extra 20p.

20 pence for mayo? what a rip-off. The common british practice of charging for condiments is one of the reasons I left. I am suprised they don;t charge 5p per drop of malt vinegar.
They charge for condiments in australia too as the Sharminator can tell you, however it;s a great deal less offensive there as their sauces come in space ages containers which allow you to squirt sauce on your pie one handed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4nUhD92yNU
