Hopefully you are just kidding, but fried chicken is a favorite in the old south, for people of all colors. I can remember fried chicken as part of the Sunday dinners there when I was a kid.

Fried chicken is one of my all time favorites, though I have never considered KFC chicken as good as other places I have had it-including home made. I rarely eat it these days, as fried foods don't agree with me very well anymore, but I still remember it fondly.

Well, in recent years, the full name Kentucky Fried Chicken has come back in their advertising and logos.

Around here, "KFC" can also mean "Korean Fried Chicken". We have a number of local Korean-run fried chicken shops, and they're quite tasty, though at a higher price point than Kentucky Fried Chicken. With different flavors such as soy garlic, and sides such as picked radishes, kimchi (picked cabbage).

I wish I were kidding, but the people on the far left say things like this every day now and nobody says anything. I have been making the prediction that this November, we will all learn that all of a sudden Thanksgiving is racist and should be abolished and anyone who follows the only grand American tradition left are bad people

Years ago on CNBC they mentioned that KFC was doing well in China.

A white liberal coworker was soon after talking to me about his stock in YUM (they own KFC) and how he thought KFC was on the decline. So I told him that I heard KFC was doing well in China and he told me that was racist.

Gotta love woke people killing innocent conversations.

Seagulls used to hang around the KFC in the town I once lived in. No seagulls any more!

When i worked at a chicken place, they let us take the unsold chicken home so as not to resell it next day.


that would be awful! refried chicken. ugh.
Unfortunately no, I didn’t make it up. I’ve always avoided KFC after I worked there. Keep in mind that was 40 years ago and like I said, they may have done away with that practice. I only worked at one store in San Diego, so I’m not sure if it was company practice.

They let us take home some unsold chicken at the end of the night, but it was the extra crispy and BBQ. The original was put into the freezer/refrigerator for the next day as extra crispy. Once that was sold out, they made fresh chicken.

One time there was a local high school football game and they expected a lot of business so we made a ton of chicken. Everyone went to the pizza place at the other strip mall. We had a lot of extra crispy the next day.

I strongly condemn anyone who remains silent in the face of KFC’s implicit racism.

I can’t keep up with what we’re supposed to be outraged about anymore.

Just stick to vegan transexual chickens made by gender ambiguous marxists and you should be fine
