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 King, White Castle, and Little Caesars offer plant-based menu items from rival Impossible Foods. KFC will be testing nuggets and wings.
And to that JDHasty floats a middle finger
Mmmmmm. Chicken-flavored dirt. Can hardly wait….
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.
They are all going to do it.
As long as they keep the regular stuff I don’t care.
Actually, since I barely ever go to any of these I don’t care.
It will eventually become mandatory.
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.
Slippery slope. Mark my words. Evetually, Soylent Green – “Is people!”
What the Hell is a “vegan chicken”?
Does the chicken have roots?
Or is it a chicken that never ate meat?
Two words: New Coke.
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
@Brown Eyed Girl:
Old Coke is not much better now!
@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.
The Colonel is spinning in his grave. This will be the first weird food that doesn’t taste like chicken.
Thats like plastering racing stripes on a Smart Car!
Eleven herbs—-and nothing else.
Cartman predicted this on South Park, but he was just tricking his girlfriend.
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.
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.
Documented Heard quotes from the drive-through window, ‘Nother Whitey’ extra spit n’ pee,,,,
I thought chickens WERE vegan…I have yet to see one eat a hamburger!
If you’re going to be a vegetarian/vegan, own it. Graze in bliss. If you want everything to taste like meat, eat meat.

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.
Yeah… one patty of that, and it’ll BE a “floater” in 30 minutes or less! 💩
