    As in better or worse? NA has the blandest chicken on the planet. But I see other countries are slowly losing quality too.
    Quite bland apparently
    Will fuck off, again.

    Are far as street food, they had no available free time. For the most part all of their meals were catered with the exception of breakfast at the hotel. Burger King was an exception that some people ordered.

    As far as the food, very heavy protein based - chicken, beef, lamb, beans and lots of lentils. Eggs were also a staple but prepared quite differently from what we're used to. Lamb, lamb and more lamb seemed to be the order of the day a d my wife is not particularly fond of lamb so it was chicken and beef when it was available. She said that a regular breakfast offering was mashed up beans and lentils with fresh cilantro and a few other herbs, she said she could eat that all the time.

    It's a sandwich made from the same US-exported frozen chicken and sold by an American fast food chain. Was there no street food around?
    Why would you assume that? So you know this to be true?
    There must be hundreds of millions of chickens produced in the Middle East, non?
    I've heard there are 23,000,000,000 chickens on earth at any given time because everyone on the planet eats them. I don't see the efficiency in shipping a bird worth $7 well over 10,000km.

    Probably "Ful" or a variation of it.

    Also their entire grain supply is dependent on imports.
    Ummm...
    Your link also states that "Chicken is the leading livestock in the region, with a CAGR of 5% from 2010 to 2014."

    And mentions that in the same year, they produced 618Million kg of chicken meat and for a country that seems to like goat so much, they only produced 29Million kg of goat meat.

    So, there are chickens there and metric shit-tonnes of them. If OP's wife ate chicken and said it tasted very different, there is no conclusive argument to say "she was eating the same frozen chicken we get in North America" when they are also producing so much chicken, there.

    A coworker ate the Burger King chicken burger, not my wife.

    Holy fuck, what a god damn stupid thing to be arguing about. The simple fact remains that my wife's coworker felt that the chicken burger there tasted much different than the one he can get here. Why, who knows? Could be just different preparation or condiments or whatever
    Yeah, it's a chain but there is the very real possibility that things have been modified a bit to suit local palates.

    Have you seen the stupid shit we discuss here? The processing of a Saudi chicken burger is literally the most sensible argument we've had in weeks.

    You realize you are talking to the guy who made his own furniture out of salad bowls right?

    It would actually be more weird if it tasted exactly the same as it would here to be honest.
    Even US vs. Canada chains some times taste a bit different.

    I'm guessing the chicken also has to be Halal.
