So how does KFC qualify as "dogooding numpties"? Surely, they're a commercial organisation who've seen a market niche and gone for it. If this particular marketing experiment doesn't pay, they'll drop faster than you can say "Allah be praised"!

I don't think he was talking about KFC as such, just the whole stupidly prejudiced system we have at the moment where organisations bend over backwards for minority groups to score a few brownie points.

This instance is primarily a commercial gesture of course, but given that vast numbers of the clientele have been Asian whenever I've been to the Accrington branch of KFC it is also symptomatic of the needlessly politically correct nightmare we're sliding into.

The only thing you got wrong in the above was the name of the person asking the question, not Jaysay but me.

1) have you ever worn your wife's underwear in public?
2) What colour does your backside go when you find yourself in a 'mating' mode?
3) What would be the the most erotically stimulating ingredients you could put in a bath that you plan to share with a loved one?

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.

Politics aside, it's just another sign of the times. As the traditional customer base is eroded away business will look to make up the shortfall & if you've got x 1000 Muslims on your doorstep who don't do Mc D's or Burgerthing, well good old Southern Fried Chicken is your next best thing !!!

And to back it all up & to make sure it's "Kosher" or as they call it Halal, they've applied for the stamp & received it. If it truly is or not well that's another matter, but in the meantime as a blatant marketing opportunity to get people through the doors !

Note the use of "Southern" as the view from "Kentucky" isn't exactly in favour of our darker skinned Burghers. One more point, the header for the last paragraph : Don’t blame KFC–blame self-centered Americans:

Now replace Self-centered Americans - With self serving ????? take your pick !

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.

just took a look at the kfc website and there is no option to email kfc but you can ring them or write to them if you are not happy with the switch to halal meat and their catering for the minority of their customers and total disregard for the majority.

they have recently got more strict on their dips policy and now insist that they be paid for at all times which is like a chip shop charging you for salt and vinigar so while your on the phone it may be worth mentioning that as well ;-)

Not quite, Margaret.. 'Muck' has various uses, most of them positive - the dog and cat varieties being exceptions. KFC is not muck - it is far, far worse. The only thing we can do with this stuff is to stick it in lead lined containers, place it on a barge and then sink it in the Mid-Atlantic Trench to a depth of 50,000ft and then pray to God that there is no effect on the fish food chain.

On the positive side and in defence of KFC, any food they have left over isn't kept for the following day, it is thrown away that night.

On the negative side it must cost them and the environment a fortune having so many skips emptied every night ready for business the next day.

Errr...it ain't food, Less. I really don't think there is a word in the English Language to sufficiently describe what KFC produces. Maybe if William Shakespeare was alive today he would come up with one. He did iinvent and then intoduce many words into the English Language..maybe he would have come up with 'Kenfruckel' or something similar, with variations as verb, adjective, etc. I dunno.
