Familial Comfort Food Meals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The KFC Double Mash Meal Offers Enough Food for Up to Four

— June 13, 2025 — Lifestyle
The KFC Double Mash Meal has been added to the QSR brand's menu as a family-friendly meal perfect for offering the comfort of a home-cooked meal in a decidedly easier way. The meal starts off with seven pieces of the brand's signature fried chicken alongside two orders of large mashed potatoes with gravy and four biscuits on the side. The meal is priced at $20 to position it as a cost-effective alternative to individual meal options that can often cost far more.

The KFC Double Mash Meal is also customizable with additional sides, drinks, desserts and sauces available to add on for an extra charge. The meal is being offered at all the brand's participating locations in the US as the value wars continue within the QSR industry and brands create new deals and promotions to catch consumer attention.
Trend Themes
1. Comfort-focused Group Meals - Emerging interest in shared dining experiences is driving the demand for comforting group meal options that recreate the warmth of home-cooked food.
2. Customization in QSR Menus - Quick service restaurants are increasingly offering customizable meal options to cater to diverse consumer preferences and enhance perceived value.
3. Value-priced Family Deals - QSR brands are introducing competitively priced family meal deals as part of strategic efforts to attract cost-conscious consumers during economic downturns.
Industry Implications
1. Quick Service Restaurants - The quick service restaurant industry is innovating through family-oriented meal deals that blend convenience with the nostalgia of comfort foods.
2. Food and Beverage Retail - In the food retail sector, there is a growing trend towards bundling products that provide value and the comfort of a homemade experience.
3. Consumer Food Products - Consumer food product companies are exploring opportunities in ready-to-eat meals that cater to familial dining preferences and economic budget constraints.
