Well since each franchise has to buy its chicken from KFC suppliers I sincerely doubt it's been prepared in a halal environment (ie. unstunned chickens). So this particular branch of KFC is actually selling non-halal meat, despite not selling bacon.

I love a good steak but chicken if cooked well i.e. just enough so its not pink and well seasoned is very nice. Pan fried and sliced on top of a salad its spot on. Just most of the time its been murdered so is drier than sawdust.

So, yeah, get rid of the bacon if you must.
Just keep the sausage!
Now your talking! Sausage & Egg Mcmuffin with 2-3 hash browns for brekkie - awesome. Although must be the single sausage as double overpowers the egg & cheese

What is this country coming to when restaurants can't serve something for the sake of superstition? Deary me.

Edited to say - Hardly a restaurant, but still...

What I want to know is why most KFC's have stopped serving hot drinks, like tea & coffee..... my 3 nearest KFC's no longer serve hot drinks

Just a bucket of Cola to go with your bucket of chicken......

I *still* go in and ask for a Zinger Tower Meal with Coffee & make a fuss when they say they can't do it..... I like to think I'm making a stand..... lol

TBH since they stopped serving coffee I hardly ever go now.....

p.s is it just me but does KFC have *THE* slowest service in the known history of fast food establishments - fast food...pfffft - I think NOT!

I doubt they'd care to much in this case.

Loose 1 non muslim customer, gain 100 new muslim customers



I actually ate "something" there last night as I was working late.
A wicked zinger meal.

It's given me a bad stomach today to be perfectly honest.
Sh1tting more than normal and the smell of the farts is just unreal.

For example I expelled air on the bottom flight of stairs at lunchtime.
Now the smell is on the 4th floor stairwell.

Rule of thumb - just make sure you're elsewhere when I fart.

So on that note - I've no idea what they put in the chicked coating or the gravy, but whatever it is my guts are not happy

Because its not as fast to make tea/coffee as opposed to fill a drinks cup?

Health & Safety probably have a lot to do with this also.

Just to HIGHLIGHT this fact - no bacon is allowed but chicken killed by automated devil knifed robots appears OK???

How the **** can KFC-bred-auto-killed chick-monsters be considered Halal???

There are loads of PETA-propaganda-stylee videos on YewTyub such as Undercover at KFC's slaughterhouse, but the crazy fact remains that KFC have banned "non-Halal" bacon and yet the main ingredient - chicken - isn't Halal in the first place!!!

Boomer u saved me time searching for that video, it's disgusting the way them poor chickens are treated.

Someone on this thread said chicken is tasteless I agree all battery chicken are tastless and dont contain as much protien or goodness try free range chicken or organic.

P.s I have eaten kfc 3 times in 10 years and after I saw that video never had it since and never will again

Right on Mr I

I am sorry to say the British have become a bunch of wimps allowing foreigners to dictate our way of life . Our culture is being eroded away - this is not the thin edge of the wedge , it is getting well and truly driven home .
God help us all

Oh come on, it's like Subway, full of *******, I got to the classy Kebab shop instead.

I have eaten at KFC twice, it was grim, last time was with J4ckos mate after a very heavy night, the morning after, could have eaten a scabby Dog, got a KFC and even being starving and hungover it was still minging.

I dont think the odd one drags you into the underclass but if is the cornerstone of your diet then you are part of the way there.

tbh KFC serving halal **** instead of the usual **** isn't suddenly going to see a stampede of Muslims buying family buckets with a side, i would have thought that the majority of Muslims are the same as the majority of non-Muslims and think KFC is **** regardless. As for 'eroding' our country, Muslims are here anyway, lots are born here, and anyone of us can convert to Islam and become a Muslim, and taken bacon off the menu at KFC is not going to make much difference, it is like complaining that a store specialising in ethnic ingredients and spices has opened in your town.

What happens if a Muslim eats some Bacon by mistake or non Halal meat, I know they dont start multiplying and exploding like Gremlins, I suppose if they dont know it doesnt make any odds but if they find out they have accidentally ingested something, whats the deal ?

I have, myself confirmed my digestive system is 100 percent Halal compatible !
