KFC floats Vegan chicken

Finger lickin’ wood, from Colonel Panders-

NEWSER) Non-meat “meat” products are almost everywhere, and the next place they’re heading is KFC. The chain is testing a vegan version of its fried chicken in an Atlanta restaurant starting Tuesday, CNBC reports. The plant-based product comes from Beyond Meat, making KFC the first national US fast food restaurant to test the company’s chicken item. Del Taco is selling a “Beyond Taco” and Carl’s Jr. sells a Beyond Burger featuring Beyond Meat, while chains including Burger KingWhite Castle, and Little Caesars offer plant-based menu items from rival Impossible Foods. KFC will be testing nuggets and wings.

  1. I’ve got no objections to Yum! Brands / KFC raking in the bucks from the vegans. As a purely business decision, it may well be a money-maker.

    I would have a problem, though, if fast food chains eliminated real junk food items that I love and substituted fake junk food instead. That would piss me off.

  2. What I object to is having to listen to all the bullshit about how it tastes just like chicken and the lip smacking and yum yuming going on that everyone knows is fake. We had a couple vegans in the family for a while and the sonsabitches are absolutely insufferable.

    The assholes hauled a tofu turkey into another relative’s home one thanksgiving and then left what they didn’t eat and that meant 99 percent of what they started with… My Labrador retrievers, basically garbage disposals wrapped in a fur coat, spit the shit out.

  3. OK,
    If it costs substantially less than beef or chicken, and it reflects the true savings therein, I may bite.
    But save 60% on production costs and charge me the same, and you can go peddle your virtue elsewhere

  4. @Uncle Al,

    Your food will be substituted. You get fucked in the drive thru. This just adds another way in which to fuck up your order.

    Real meat is the real plant based food. I can see where confusion may play out.

  5. They probably filled it with cellulose, carrageenan and artificial flavors and colors.

    But it’s still Kentucky Fried Rat to me. I’ve eaten at one twice in my life and barfed it up both times.

  6. The early years while Sanders was still alive were the best. After that the inability to understand simple directions, “forced equal opportunity”, now termed, “diversity” has destroyed this once enjoyed product.
    Since then this is has been nothing but trash for decades.
    Started in a pressure cooker, since then is an open window urinal.

  7. Yuk
    Try the Mexican Coca Cola in the glass bottles, made with cane sugar, NOT corn syrup. You’ll swear off the American plastic bottle stuff forever.
