Basher Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 This should be interesting... KFC Canada Offers Vegan Chicken! by Pulin Modi Following months of closed-door negotiations between PETA and KFC Canada, the company agreed to a historic new animal welfare plan that will dramatically improve the lives and deaths of the chickens killed for its restaurants. One part of the agreement that will warm hearts—and stomachs—is the addition of a vegetarian chicken sandwich to the chain's menu! KFC Canada is adding the Classic Vegetarian Sandwich to the menu of more than half the KFC locations in Canada. The sandwich features a crispy vegan faux-chicken patty, and you can easily make the delicious treat totally vegan by asking for it in a wrap and without mayo. Yum! To celebrate the groundbreaking new sandwich, KFC Canada is offering a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a limited time only! ( Click here for the English version of the coupon, and click here for the French version.) Now through September 2008, present this coupon at participating KFC Canada restaurants when purchasing a Classic Vegetarian Sandwich and you'll receive a second sandwich absolutely free! That means that you and your best nonvegetarian friend or family member can finally dine together in peace! The sandwich will be offered at more than half the KFC stores in Canada, and the coupon will be valid at participating locations. Visit the KFC Canada Web site to find a location near you.

phishtaper Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 hmmmm, anyone care to guess how many vegans would actually eat at KFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well, I don't eat chicken, but I'll give this a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Classic? Good news nonetheless.But how does it look for PETA to be in bed with KFC? Compromise much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well, I have my own issues with PETA and their tactics, so I am ignoring that aspect of the story. The news to me is that there is a new option for me at KFC, and I'll be heading in to one of their restaurants for the first time in over 5 years.

AD Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 i just think it's funny that they put out a press release about a 'ground-breaking vegetarian sandwich' made from 'faux-chicken' yet they neglect to talk about the actual ingredients.

Ms.Huxtable Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 But how are they cooked? In the same oil as the chicken or are we to believe they're installing separate fryers just for the vegans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewRider Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Burger King used to have an awesome veggie burger. It wasn't like fake meat, it had beans and veggies and shit in it. Damn, those were good. Haven't had one in like 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Not like I care. You couldn't pay me to eat at KFC, vegetarian sammy or not.[color:gray]Well I might eat a big crunch for $50.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irie Guy Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Licks uses a separate grill for their Nature Burger. Harvey's doesn't. Where this will be cooked is a good question.I am quite aware that when I go out for eats more often than not my food shares a grill with meat based products. I understand that. Only in a true vegetarian restaurant could I expect no chance of cross contamination.I like many others find this kind of amusing considering KFC's history and policies.

phishtaper Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Licks uses a separate grill for their Nature Burger.the Licks booth was the most disgusting food booth at Hillside last summer. their staff were handling money, wiping the counter with their hands and then handling the food. we saw what was happening as we were waiting and had to asked for our money back.

NewRider Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Lick's had a booth at Hillside?!? Have they been there before? I don't remember seeing them in previous years. I go Salsateria all the way at Hillside though so I don't do much food scouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Vegan Chicken at KFC? FAIL.They must be having serious financial problems to even consider something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 This has nothing to do with making money, and everything to do with getting PETA off their backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
