No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

'MUSLIM leaders from East Lancashire have demanded a meeting with bosses of a fast food giant in a row over halal accreditation.
According to Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), its Accrington, Blackburn, Colne and Burnley restaurants have switched to halal.
KFC said it was certified by the Halal Food Authority (HFA) and the authority’s logo is displayed on the doors of its outlets.
But the Lancashire Council of Mosques (LCM) has asked for an urgent meeting with the firm after concerns were raised over the authenticity of the halal food served.
Meanwhile a protest has been launched against KFC’s decision to serve only halal meat at its Colne branch.'

If they want another hornet's nest to stir up they might want a wander down to Blackburn College canteen of a morning to see how many Muslims students avail themselves of a bacon butty....

Seems like Canada may have a surplus of seal meat this year ... I wonder if this is halal:confused: Probably much better for your health than the crap served up by the Colonel.

Let's not mention what they get up to with those loose pieces of 'white meat' though, (Your not telling me that what they put into their mouths under those circumstances is Halal).:D

A couple of friends are thinking of opening a restaurant on Blackburn Rd, I don't think they will be going for the Halal certificate.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

%100 correct when out of sight of their peers quite a lot of muslims eat and drink the same as us including booze and good on them.Its just the hypocracy i dont like when those that enjoy a drink or a bacon butty deny ever doing it and go to their mosque mascarading as a devout muslim.As for KFC i find it disgusting that they have bowed down to cater for a minority of the nation and if a muslim wants hallal KFC style chicken theres plenty of places for them to get it like the two on blackburn road which the name of i cant recall right now although i think one is called calladonia

mind you as far as accy KFC is concerened its not a matter of what meat is used but if its cooked long enough

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

To be honest if you have made the decision to eat meat it doesn't really matter how it died, it's dead, either eat it or don't. Don't berate others about their lifestyle choice. ( and no, am not veggie, was for 17 years though)

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

no ones berating anyone for eating halal meat what peopel dont like is having that choice put upon them just for the sake of a minority of people which also has a lot of followers that dosnt adhere to the rules of their faith themselves .If kfc want to cater for muslims they should open up a separate company that does and not expect us to eat hallal meat because as far as i am aware this is a christian country not a muslim state and therefore teh majority shoudl be catered for not the minority.If i wanted to eat halal meat i would buy halal meat and if i wanted halal crunchy fried chicken i would go to an asian takeaway that did it like those on blackburn road.

why should a majority bend backwards for a minority or does democracey not apply when it concerns race unless it rules in favour of the minority

all i know is that if i went to a muslim state and started to demand special treatment and that everyone change tehir ways to suit me i would probably be flogged in the street and told to shut up

only teh other week a couple have been put in prison for kissing in public in dubai and the general opinion is that when over there do as they do yet when over here peopel arnt expected to do as we do

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

I once witnessed a delivery to the Halal meat shop on Blackburn Road.It arrived in the boot of a taxi,the driver threw it onto the pavement then it was dragged into the shop.:eek:

So I'll make my own curries if thats alright.:D

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

seen a delivery or two go into the butchers on blackburn road and meat was been delivered in a rusty blue sooty van that wasnt refridgerated and the meat had flies crawling on it.This was a few years ago but the sight of it made me wretch .Even if i lived next door to that place i would still rather walk into town than eat anything from there.Were probably refering to teh same one is the one you mean just further up than the bingo place accross from a pub that i cant remember the name of , globe i think it was called but not %100 sure

ps:

im not %100 against halal i go to pc cellular and purchase many halal ink cartridges for my epson printer

Your not actually saying that the purveyors of halal meat are not meeting hygiene standards are you accyman:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

From what ive seen yon pretty frequently it aint "OUR" hygiene standards.:rolleyes:

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Its amazing what they can get away with, like accyman said there are other places where they can go to buy halal food, so why ruin it for the natives of this country, it really annoys me.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

The Money men at KFC obviously decided that having these particular Restaurants, go Halal because they could see the cash hidden behind the flies buzzing around the corpse of another British way of life.:(

Restaurants? don't talk daft they are Take aways with a few plastic tables in them, I don't think anyone would be impressed if you said, "I'll take you to a Restaurant tonight", then you go to KFC, the person you take will be thinking, 'cheapskate'.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

I tend to do most of the cooking these days but every now and again for some bizarre reason a wave of insanity sweeps over my wife and I on the way back home from Asda in Accy and we get a KFC. Every time we say it will be the last time as the only things we actually enjoy are the chicken strips and popcorn chicken, both of which are reconstituted from other bits.

Let them have their halal, but sooner or later there's going to be an almighty backlash in this country and Westminster can't say that it hasn't been warned.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Thanks, John. It's far beyond any remit that I'll ever aim for (too much of a home-lover to be interested in a life in London, to be honest) but I firmly believe that we're heading for some form of civil uprising in the next 20 years because of the pandering that is going on to minorities across the board.

In another thread yesterday we were talking about the movie Gran Torino, in which Clint Eastwood's character is clinging on to the values of his home country while his immigrant neighbours erode them.

It's a rather extreme version of the situation we're finding ourselves in at the moment but anyone who has seen it can probably appreciate the parallels.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Well this is one issue we most certainly agree on Ken, but when you think about it, like you say, minorities are being pandering to, when in fact they don't want any special treatment, so why is it that these dogooding numpties keep trying to make special cases where there are none, its crazy and will eventually all end in tears:(

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

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"! :D

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

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.

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.
 

Spot on. How do I do it?

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 !

KFC's 'racist' ad - The Week

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 ;-)

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Why not just not buy there.
It was muck before it went halal and it is still muck now

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

still no email contact so whats teh difference?

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

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.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

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.
:)

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

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.

Not just Shakespeare, Tealeaf has a talent for new words as well.

Apparently you can get birds ready plucked in Israel. Though they might get stuck in some people's gullets, being Jewish chickens, even when fried in the Colonel's secret recipe of eleven herbs and spices.

Though I suppose all slaughter methods are available for the poor pluckers.

Hell Less a poet and you didn't know it:D

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

So, there is going to be a backlash:confused:

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Maybe 'backlash' is too strong a term but whenever this comes up in conversation the general consensus is that people don't like being told that something they've been used to all their lives without it causing any problems is suddenly an issue with certain groups.

With all the decent halal food outlets around Hyndburn it would seem odd for the Muslim council to cause any sort of fuss about KFC not serving food that they can eat.

From the little I know of poultry farming, chickens are actually killed in halal style anyway to keep the meat in the right conditions.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

well i just got off the phone with KFC and was told it is a trial but i doubt that somehow i think its just to appease the people who ring up but i was told that they are recieving quite a lot of complaints and oddly enough the so called trials arnt going on in america .

I also pointed out that muslims have been eating there way before they introduced this policy and actually working in the kfc places with the non halal meat so there was no need to appeal to teh muslim faith because they were already customers and employees

i was thanked for my input and on a lighter note if you ring now you may get the same sexy sounding chick i did ( not a cruchy fried one) :D

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

As far as I'm aware no pressure was put on KFC to serve halal food. As was previously pointed out, this decision seems to be there's alone, based on economics.

It remains to be seen, at the end of the trial, whether or not it was a wise one.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

i think there are 2 dixie chicken outlets in accy and one caladoinia which both are halal meat users so its not a sthough there wa sany need for this move by kfc.I stopped using subway some time back because lancashire stores switched to halal meat which incidently brings me to ask why is it just lancashire that has these outlets switching to halal meat do we not have any whites in lancashire anymore or somthing .I think teh only fast food outlet localy that hasnt switched to halal meat is mcdonalds so i suppose with peopel avoiding kfc and not realy wanting to eat mcdonalds teh christian/white english will be eating more healthy lol

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Some people with white skins might Muslims, and some with brown skins might be Christians.

Some people, of whatever colour, mightn't be religious at all.

;)

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

ok perhaps what i should have asked is what is it about lancashire that makes us so different from teh rest of the uk that makes KFC and subway think that the majority of the population here are muslim and need catering for

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

How on Earth did you leap to that? As I've previously stated, the clientele in KFC Accrington already seems to have a large Asian presence so why alter things to please a group who don't appear to be complaining?

Come back at me by all means, but at least read my posts properly.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Maybe they used up-to-date statistics.:D:D

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

or they looked at blackburn road on google earth and thought that alone was accrington you know how teh yanks think were a small island :rolleyes:

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

OK, fair point, but why do you think they're being politically correct? Surely, they're just following their commercial instincts? There may well be a lot of Asian people in, but they're obviously hoping to attract even more to boost their profits. Can't see anyting PC in that, unlike a lot of the legislation that various governments have brought in!

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Government decisions that have been made in the past have been voted on and brought into force by consent. You or I may not agree with all of them but harking back to previous governments and criticising legislations that happened in the past aren't really productive. The world changes constantly so to my mind it makes more sense to try and learn from what works and what hasn't worked and try to avoid those mistakes again. We've had years of rather silly decisions from all corners based on not offending people, but the irony is that if they'd just left well alone in many instances there would have been no problem.

To an extent, the feeling of antipathy towards positive discrimination is beginning to get itself noticed and this KFC business is a case in point. An attempt to be seen to be faith-embracing and multicultural simply to impress a section of society that already buys their food has caused resentment among the non-Muslim customer base.

I suspect that this little marketing ploy will ultimately not go down well with the majority, including Muslims who will be seen as the instigators.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Then, if it doesn't, it won't pay and it'll be dropped - as simple as...unlike the "legislations that happened in the past" as you call them, which still go on affecting us, whether they're popular or not!

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Perhaps there's a greater percentage of people too lazy to cook, and who prefer nipping out for a take-away.

:rolleyes:

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Not somewhere we go regularly, perhaps once of twice a year, but I've never seen an Asian customer in there. Presumably because the chicken wasn't halal.

Perhaps KFC are testing the waters based on the numerous other fried chicken businesses there are in the area.

Around the Edgeware Road in London, which has a high Arab population, KFC has been halal for years.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

I allways thought each KFC was a franchise individually owned and managed but operating to the KFC 'rulebook' , (similar to MacDonalds). Which explains the different "menus" and price differences between various outlets of the same chains .

KFC says use of halal meat to remain limited in U.S. – Nation’s Restaurant News

seems there are one or two halal KFCs in the US

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

You are right on this one. Increasing profits is the prime, and probably sole motive for anything that large corporations tend to do. KFC does not exist to serve food (or reprocessed garbage); it is there to make profits for its shareholders. It could be called the "Happy Holiday Syndrome", if you get my drift.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

just wait until they feel the need to choose vegitarians over meat eaters and replace everything with quorn lol

i guess the only place safe from these PC do gooding idiots that feel they must cater for the minority is your local grease and spoon where there will be little chance of been handed a halal bacon butty.

and the sauce of your choosing will be provided free as well :)

edit:

on a side not if KFC are merely pretending to be halal liek what is been suggested i hope they get their arses handed to them by teh way of huge fines because its one thing to go against the mojority of the nation but a whole new level of low telling a muslim whos trying to follow tehir faith that they are eating halal meat when they arnt just to make a few extra quid

subway can swing i never cared much for their microwaved half pre cooked junk anyway :)

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

I never use KFC, McDonalds or Burger King, and Pizza Hut are now on my list of no-go dumps too.

As for who's being PC, it isn't KFC. As others have said, they are simply looking to boost profits. The bean counters and marketing people know very well who does and who doesn't use them. The fact that it has backfired so spectacularly is one good reason to smile!

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Many a true word spoken in jest...Harriet Harman is currently pushing her Equality Bill through parliament which, amongst other things, outlaws discrimination against vegans. So presumably, restaurants will now be forced to put vegan options on their menu, whether they want to or not. And, unlike KFC's little experiment, it'll be law, so there'll be no going back.

So much for the "tide turning", eh, Ken? ;)

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Public opinion vs legislation.

Discuss.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

"Vegitarian" comes from the Algonquin language: loosely translated, it means "brave can't hunt worth a goddam."

But I can't for the life of me understand why tolerance, understanding ... empathy if you wish .... has to be enforced. If it doesn't come naturally, grow out of the community, it isn't worth anything; and it won't work.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Public opinion has always been against PC madness. Unfortunately, the people who lead the party you're a member of, are determined to carry on with their social engineering, regardless.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

The Equality Bill won't force anyone to sell anything they don't want to.

Lots of companies, including my own family's, choose to sell vegetarian options, because there is already a sizeable market, and it makes economic sense to cater to it, but there is no legislation that forces this upon anyone, and nor will this happen if, and when, the Bill becomes law.

"Political correctness gone mad"

In the United Kingdom, "political correctness gone mad" is a widely-used catchphrase associated with the conservative Daily Mail newspaper.[16] A literal interpretation might be that the catchphrase applies to instances where political correctness, desirable in moderation, is taken too far. In reality, however, "political correctness" is almost used pejoratively and the catchphrase is applied to stories (frequently apocryphal) seen as representing extreme forms of political correctness [17]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_correctness


That made me laugh.

I think the whole political corectness movement started out with good intentions, especially when it came to using non-offensive words for various ethnic groups. I think most of us would agree that some of the historical names used to describe people of African origin would be unacceptable today, and that's partly due to greater awareness, brought about by the politically correct movement, if it can be described as a movement.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

'The code says the current definition of “belief” also included “a lack of belief”, giving protection to atheists.
It adds: “It is for tribunals to determine what constitutes a religion. Cults and new religious movements may also be religions.'

I suppose it would afford them the same rights if they were being bullied, or dismissed for their beliefs, and wanted to challenge their attackers, or employers, in the courts.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

I'd totally agree with that, but unfortunately it seems to me that the pedulum has swung too far the other way. It doesn't seem to be confined to your classic "Daily Mail" types either. I know plenty of people who wouldn't aren't racist in the slightest who are heartly sick of it (apart from me!).

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

I'm yet to see for myself signs of 'politically corectness gone mad'.

I've not seen Christmas banned.

I've not been forced to do anything against my will.

I'm sick of the Nanny State, but we've been under that for at least the last thirty years, and that's nothing to do with political correctness.

Nanny Thatcher wasn't at all p.c.

:rolleyes::D

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

So casual, jokey remarks about "lentil-eaters" and "treehuggers" could lead to all sorts of spurious claims? Perhaps Harriet Harman would like to outlaw humour and mickey-taking altogether (apart from the PC-approved Ben Elton type).

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

I posted years ago how there was a backlash against political correctness, especially from the groups who were targeted as needing protection.

You certainly see this in the black and gay communities, who've embraced the words that were historically used against them, and also in the great number of comedians who are totally un-p.c.

Many women have rejected politically correct names.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

Change those 'affectionate' nicknames for similarly jokey euphemisms for homomosexuals, Jews, or blacks, and I presume so.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

I'm not saying I agree, by the way, just pointing out this legislation seems to offer legal protection to vegetarians, so they aren't discriminated against, and doesn't mean that all food companies will be forced to cater for them, as you seemed to suggest.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

There was some legislation being proposed along those lines, but it was quashed after the professional stand-up Comedians held a protest against it in Trafalgar Square, according to the media though, it wasn't a success, because nobody was prepared to take them seriously.

:rolleyes:

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

No one banned Bernard Manning, or people like Jim Davidson, from joking about whatever they wanted.

Though most people today wouldn't find the terms they used acceptable.

People are free to make fun of whatever they like, but the vast majority of people wouldn't find the terms coon, nigger etc, funny per se, it would depend on the context.

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

I for one wouldn't force a veggie to eat meat, it means bigger portions for me.

What I dislike about them is that if they turn up at your house you bend over backwards trying to make sure the food is of an edible type to them.

You go to their house, you're offered nut cutlet, with a take it or leave it attitude.

Should you accidentally cause a fop-as by moving the food about and asking were the bacon & egg is at? You better be prepared to duck, it's the only time the hostess will really be after blood, yours!
:(

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

I suppose it depends where you draw the line. As you know, I have total belief in the football team I support (almost to the point of it being a religion). As you can imagine, I come in for a fair amount of teasing at work over this, but I'd never dream of being offended by it.

I'd be the last person to use any racist or homophobic terms, but to my mind, that's not the same as jokingly referring to somebody as a "treehugger". Perhaps I'm wrong and my vegan mate is secretly seething with resentment! :eek:

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

just to skip back a few posts before the polotics if a resturant was told to have a vegitarian option it is totaly different from what KFC has done because KFC has sneakily switched to halal meat and totaly withdrawn any other kind of meat and have totaly refused to cater for the people who were their origonal customers who probably wouldnt have eaten there ever if they had started trading with halal meat.If KFC had been a halal user from teh start and sneakily switched to traditional meat in the same way many muslims woudl have been uaware of the switch and would have been eating non halal meat and there would have been uproar.

well there would have been uproar from the muslim council because lets face it muslims were scoffing down kfc long before the switch :rolleyes:

Re: No finger lickin' bacon in Accy.
 

hi everybody
there's no reason to suppose that Halaal-slaughtered meat (have you seen how it's done?) is any less offensive to the Muslim than the way the Jewish community kill their animals! (see how that's done) double question ''humane''??? question is ??
why the fuss - if you don't like the fare - stay away - it's the British way called democracy.
KFC and their like have always been in for a fast buck, so where they see fit so will their policies - of course where there is a captive market you have to cater to that need and that determination will rule geographically : large Muslim community -GIVE EM halaal - Large Jewish - GIVE em kosher - and so on -----
Oh! blind faith - see what they are all missing with the erstwhile, humble, staple protein food of Ye Olde Englande -Mr Piggy!! nowt wrong with a pack of pork scratchings -
where is the rationale behind all this - can't have this food because etc etc - please don't tell me it's of divine origin, it simply does not make sense - convince me otherwise!!
it is time that the PC brigade came down from their ivory towers and gave the majority 'back' to the majority - it is STILL England - isn't it??
carry on then

By the way, does the halal deep fried buzzard taste any different from the non-halal crap?

Just seen there's a Facebook page of people who don't agree with the changes at Accy's KFC.

A man after my own heart! I'll have a jug of ale with mine, please.

Whatever the ins and outs of faith it all boils down to a lifestyle choice and there's no getting away from it. None of us are born with preset programming to kill animals in a certain way, abstain from eating meat or only consume fruit which has dropped from the tree already.

Having any lifestyle choice forced on us, particularly one that is not traditionally British, is always going to ruffle the feathers of the masses in this country.
