Can't help but read or see this on the news.

I love the concept of it being a crisis

manchester police have asked that disappointed customers don't ring them

At least KFC themselves have a sense of humour. Well everyone except presumably the person who approved the change in supply chain.

[Kevin Wood]

I think pretty much all of their restaurants are franchised, so they probably aren't the ones whose @rse is on the line. meanwhile, they can collect money for having their name on the sign as normal. - an "organise" the chicken deliveries, of course.

Watched a bit on the local news last night , it was quite funny people complaining that they will have to get a burger or how inconvenient it is  that they can't get their favourite form of chicken ! For Pete's sake cook something you bunch of idiots.

I get the sinking feeling that you are not kidding.

I want to type something but I'm lost for words.

Some stores have a solution:

No shortage in East London apparently, maybe there using Halal Rat or something

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I'm surprised some people are so 'destroyed' by the fact that they can't neck a greasy stringy KFC.

So am I, as especially I NEVER use them and never would; hate chicken!

Love to cook all my own dishes anyway, as those lazy buggers should!

From a business point of view it is a disaster for KFC and no doubt heads will roll.....................and will be cooked in deep hot fat!

Oh, yes, I'm sure the colonel won't waste them.

[jonathanh]

I do find it surprising how much fuss this has caused.  How dependent we seem to have become on fast food chains.  I can't help but think how different things must be in the middle of Andalucía - outside of the airport and perhaps a large shopping centre I don't think I've ever seen a KFC etc

[Bigron]

I hadn't seen this news item, nor any other news, due to dying from Man Flu, so I am with Kevin here, open-mouthed with incredulity!
If this is a "crisis", how will they cope when a real disaster comes along? What sort of people are we breeding?
A few years back, in a conversation at work, I happened to state that I did not like chicken. I was asked how come, there's nothing to dislike as it doesn't taste of anything.
If that is the case, why the F**K do you eat it then? 

Ron.

[Varche]

Quite right but fast food chains are opening along with fast wok franchises and the like. Spaniards especially the young are keen to embrace other countries err culture. Of course you have lots of holiday makers who want the comforts of home and no “foreign muck”.

I remember a few years back being in a 5 star Tunisian hotel . The chefs stood proudly behind their tasty creations. The Brits that had a few chips and a few bits of meat out of complete dishes and openly ridiculed the food were an embarrassment.

[Doctor Gollum]

I find it astounding that a company that can't even deliver luggage from the aircraft to the carousel can a) win a contract the size of KFC, and b) screw it up enough to near enough bankrupt the restaurants*...

*obviously this wasn't my first choice of word.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I find it astounding that people can eat a meat from a filthy bird that when cooked, smells very much like human shit. 
And as for eating their eggs, that's just disgusting.

Went to Playa del Inglis on Grand Canaria a few years ago. Down near the main beaches they had a great boardwalk area packed with bars and restaurants and also a McDonalds. No prizes for guessing which was packed most nights with long queues outside, while the rest were by comparison little used, except by the locals. Fine by me.

Not keen on chicken ovulation?

I occasionally treat myself, when travelling, to the colonels secret recipe. Its a damn sight cheaper than other options like McCardboard and BK.

I quite like it.  But it doesn't like me - I have to set the timer for 45m after finishing a Bargain Bucket, as its coming out, ready or not.

That did make me laugh out loud. Thanks for that!   

As a fellow sufferer of enforced voiding after eating certain things while travelling the highways and byways, I know the feeling of the rapid double time duckwalk/run to the services from the car Park!

[Bigron]

I was opnce pulled by plod on the M3 heading towards Dorset, and he queried my haste.....
I said "we are near the Services and I'm desperate for a crap; if you frighten me any more, we will both be sorry!".
Through his tears of laughter, he told me to be on my way.....

Just hoping against hope that no other bugger is in the cubicle already.

Sink.

Let that ‘sink’ in.....

And as for eating their eggs, that's just disgusting.

I really wonder how it came about. I have this image in my mind of two blokes pi$$ed up on mead or whatever the tipple of the time was...

"See that chicken?"
"Yep"
"Ten quid groats says you won't eat the next thing the comes out of its @rse".
"You're on"

Bit like moo juice

At least it doesn,t come out of it,s @rse. Moo juice that is.

I have also wondered how we came to eat chickens miscarriages.

The guy next to me at work (foolishly) told me of an incident last year of being a passenger in his mates car down the M6, when he badly, badly miscalculated a parp.  Trouble is, they were in the 50mph, average speed limit, about 15miles from the next services.  He tried to stop seeppage, and tried to lift himself out of the seat, but no joy.  The trousers and underkrackers went straight in the bin when he got to the services, and his mates missus made his mate sell the car!

Why don't those traumatized by the KFC 'crisis' try something new its called cooking! Real wholesome food instead of fast food connective tissue, genitals and rectums with plenty of fat, salt, chemicals, artificial flavourings and colourings, spices, herbs, binders and fillers to make the minced highly processed puke edible.

That only works for 50% of the population, due to the Y chromosome in the superior half of the species...


Although being serious for a second, surely nobody is traumatised by it? Even if you have a rule of a Friday or Saturday night fast food thing, plenty of other options.

I haven't had KFC for a few years now but, from what I remember, it was very nice. Never had any of these 'zinger' thingies either, just the chicken pieces and chips, where you get a couple of nice pieces and a couple of shitty, fatty ones.

Same here, not had KFC for ages, some years. BUT . . . I loved it, a bargain bucket ! (all to myself?) The main reason for not having it these days is The Mrs trying to prevent my coronary arteries from clogging up.

Having said that went out to Wetherspoons tonight, had their spicy chicken wings. When I am on my death bed, and I have a final wish, it will be for a dish of them. I'll die happy

KFC's apology ad in the Currant Bun was quite amusing!

[scimmy_man]
