No, they're really not on the menu at all. The only dessert or 
sweet offered is soft serve ice-cream.

There's no macaroni either as far as I know, and I would know as 
I like macaroni and would have it were it on the menu. They have 
mini corn cobs instead. The other thing that comes with the bucket 
meal is some small rolls, but not a biscuit in either sense in 
sight.

When I do go to KFC I generally have either a zinger or crispy 
strips. The differences in the menu at other fastfood outlets 
here might also surprise you. Perhaps you could tell me if the 
McDonald's restaurants in America offer halal chicken, because 
they do here in Fiji. All the fastfood places also offer a number 
of vegetarian items for the sizeable Hindu population.

Many countries have differences in menus between McDonald's or 
KFC. In Singapore, for instance, there are curries on the menu 
at times. Perhaps there's a website out there that includes more 
information on these matters, there's certainly some papers on 
it available, one of which is here:

You'll need Adobe or similar to read that as it's in .pdf.
