？？？肯德基竟然新出了甜甜圈汉堡，这么高的热量，你要尝试吗？

肯德基在快餐行业的鸡肉三明治军备竞赛（鸡翅竞赛？）中发起的最新攻势即刻使人们愤怒了。

KFC’s latest salvo in the chicken sandwich arms race (wings race?) in the fast-food industry immediately prompted outrage.

有人视这种过于夸张的食品为一种令人讨厌的营养成分：脂肪！糖！卡路里！！！这是可以理解的，因为它用两个浇了糖浆的甜甜圈替换了夹着炸鸡的小圆面包。

Some, understandably, saw the over-the-top offering — a fried hunk of bird between two glazed doughnuts in place of a bun — as a nutritional abomination: the fat! the sugar! the calorieeeeees!

其他人对此则持存在主义的观点。格拉布街（人们发表观点的一个平台）总结道，“被两个不新鲜的甜甜圈毁掉的炸鸡也许是迄今为止对特朗普领导的美国的最佳隐喻。”

Others had more existential takes. “Fried industrial chicken smashed between two stale doughnuts is maybe the best metaphor yet for Trump’s America,” was Grub Street’s summation.

但如果它真的……很好吃，并吸引了我怎么办?

But what if — and stick with me here — it were actually … delicious?

读者们，我想可能会这样的。

Reader, I think it might be.

我在弗吉尼亚州里士满外围的霍普威尔的一家肯德基试吃了这种三明治。这是肯德基测试这一限时新品的三个门店之一。

I tried the sandwich at a KFC in Hopewell, Va., outside Richmond, one of three markets where the chain is testing the limited-time menu addition.

我花了5.99美元买到了这种三明治（配菜是一份薯角，但你真的还需要再多那一份热量吗？），免费附送的还有我提前对这次胡吃海塞怀有的深深悔意。

For $5.99, I got the sandwich (does anyone really need a side of potato wedges with this?) and a gratis case of early-onset regret for the gastronomic sin I was about to commit.

它被装在一个硬纸盒里，盒子上为我提供了里面所盛食品的线索：一大滴糖浆沿边淌下，就像通往糖果乐园的公路上的一个警示标志。
