Something fowl is afoot.

KFC run out of chicken after changing supplier.

They should get some of that top-quality American chlorinated stuff in.

March 2019 for that, we're nearly there.

I thought they grew it in vats now which is why they became KFC and dropped the chicken from the name

DHL and QSL are the new delivery/warehousing contractors, who promised in their press release to "revolutionise" supply chain logisitics and "tear up the rule book".
Mission accomplished. Both German companies too, taking a different approach to efficiency.
I'm amazed they still deliver it fresh every day, I doubt most of their customers give a shit. KFC is garbage.

[Lang Spoon]

DHL is German? Wow. They are just awful to deal with, bastards will never give a time for delivery, and seem to think 8am or 6.30 pm constitute normal business hours.

Owned by Deutsche Post, no less

Just watching all the devastated saps on the news bemoaning the lack of KFC.

Chrissakes, go for pizza if you're that desperate.

Or maybe, y'know, actually try 'cooking' something?

Like, chicken, maybe?

[Lang Spoon]

I’ve now half a mind to make some fried chicken from scratch. Despite having no chicken in the house or more than half an idea how to cook it. Youse bastards.

It's not as if KFC put their joints in distant locations where they are the only option, they always cluster where the fast food is at. My local one, which I only use as a landmark if giving directions, has in its vicinity a Subway, Chinese/Thai/Portuguese takeaways, a couple of Halal fried chicken options, a chip shop and roughly 20 pizza/kebab/curry all purpose takeaways. And a far superior proper (Jamaican) chicken shop right across the road.

As I suggested, during the autopsy, someone at KFC should look at the calibre of their complaining customers and wonder why they bother with all the expense and food safety rigmarole delivering fresh chicken for these pricks.

Dixie Chicken is better anyways.

[Jah Womble]

Like, chicken, maybe?

Sure, if that's your thang. (It wouldn't be mine, obviously.)

But maybe just maybe try something new, different, tasty...like perhaps proper food?

[Lang Spoon]

I’m not sure how fried chicken isn’t “proper” food. Inadvisable to eat more than a few times a week, but it’s still food. If hipster fucks can get away with eating pulled this and that and whatever “dirty” fries are, don’t see what’s the real difference with that and pleb junk food. Dawn Foster has been good on this in the Guardian.

What does a Portuguese takeaway involve? Is it just sub Nandos? If they did the “bife” steak swimming in garlic’d gravy I’d be well happy.

If they do Francesinha, I need a Portuguese takeaway in my town. They can take the place of the KFC.

Well, okay - a little contentious, perhaps, but something cooked with fresh ingredients, some kind of 'balance' (ie, not just fat and salt) and something not mass-prepared by bored staff working long hours, was kind of where I was coming from.

As for 'hipster' food, that can f*** right off for starters. (And mains.)

[pebblethefish]

Do KFC do any non chicken related food? I mean, I know no one eats them normally, but if McDonalds ran out of burgers, they could still serve the salads, or whatever it is they're advertising where the ginger bloke is scared of the server because she's got a tattoo.

[Jah Womble]

Well, 'chips', I suppose.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone eating a McSalad. But then again, I could count on one hand the number of times I've been to one of their restaurants in the past fifteen years, or however long they've been selling them.

(That girl is cute, by the way.)

I've never been in, so don't know, but it looks more like option 1, a sub-Nandos (although I've never been in there either).

I have about 3 takeaways a year (plus fish & chips at the seaside), as I'm tight/cook my own food.

I love fried chicken. I had some yesterday. KFC is shit fried chicken.

My mate's stepson is about 30, and a couple of years ago was telling me he has hardly cooked anything in his life. Left home alone in the house for a weekend (this was recent to the time of the conversation) he tried to cook a chicken out of the freezer, but didn't realise you had to defrost it first, got food poisoning and had to go to hospital. This was his justification for not attempting to cook anything ever again.

[Patrick Thistle]

I've had a McSalad. It comes in a plastic pot so you can shake the dressing all over it if you want the dressing.

It's a nice alternative to fries with a value meal if you aren't in the mood for fries.

That's what Africans would call, "no home training".
