Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, June 13, 2009

The marinade on KFC's new grilled chicken contains beef powder and rendered beef fat, a fact that the rival El Pollo Loco chain is highlighting in a new commercial. "The use of beef ingredients in grilled chicken just seems wrong to me, and we believe most consumers would agree," said Steve Carley, chief executive of El Pollo Loco.

I am afraid to ask what "rendered beef fat" is?

waltonfeed.com

I think it means recycled fat, like the kind restaurants sell to rendering companies.

rendering companies

ie; the mob.

www.thefreedictionary.com

To reduce, convert, or melt down (fat) by heating.

I'd be more interested in seeing concrete proof tht KFC's grilled chicken contains actual chicken.

Murph, not to get all sanctimonius and shit, but I believe in my heart that one should render unto beef that which belongs to beef and then ditto for chicken...

Your favorite hor d'oeuvre.

So no one here has ever used beef bullion as a seasoning?

A bit of au jus moisten the meat?

It's not the way I cook chicken, but obviously some like it, and then again I guess the Hindus will be filing lawsuits because they ate ole Bessy the Sacred cow.

www.farmsanctuary.org

People I know free range their chickens, but I've been in confinement houses for hogs, and chickens. It's not a pretty sight. Neither are slaughter houses but that's where your dinner comes from if you live in the city.

Companies like Tyson supply the chicks, and mandate the feeding etc., but they leave it to the farmer to dispose of the waste. With so many animals in one spot the manure overwhelms any effort to dispose of it short of a city sized sewage treatment plant.

On the east coast there's confinement houses in Virginia and North Carolina that pollute the watershed that drains into the Chesapeake Bay. There's DEAD ZONES in which the oxygen is so depleted nothing - not fish, nor crabs - can live.

Runoff from farms is the #1 pollutant in our streams, lakes, and aquifers, with urban runoff a close second.

As long as these "by" products aren't anal, I have no beef with it.


From the article:

"The use of beef ingredients in grilled chicken just seems wrong to me, and we believe most consumers would agree,"


I would have to disagree. These people are eating at KFC to begin with....proof that they obviously don't care what they eat.

I'm so glad I don't live in the city. ALL of our meat is free range and most organic.

KFC's grilled chicken contains Beef?!

* PHEW! *

Spud suspected that KFC's grilled chicken contained sommat that didn't taste like chicken.

You don't wanna know wot Spud's other guess was.

Ya really don't.

Gotta feel sorry fer the Hindus here.

They just got over learning that their McDonalds French Fries had been cooked in beef tallow fer years and now this!

Meh, to paraphrase Bart Simpson:

Don't have a sacred cow, man.

Be Well.

/Yes, back and entering the DR as ya do
stage left.

"They call it KFC
'Cause it's not really chicken
Hot chettos for breakfast
Make a young student sick and
Did you ever think someone's trickin' you... you, you, you?

And the guy in the pulpit
Is a biggit and a lie
Some kid walks into my school and opens fire
Heard any good jokes lately?
'Cause we sure do need 'em
My punk band's called Operation Iraqi Freedom

What's it gonna be?
Are you real to me?
Or are you non dairy... creamer? ....."

NOW I GET THE FIRST LINE!!!! Lol.

nothing satisfies like dead steer, bleeding on a plate

Ye gods. Why is this even a story?

Anyone with a nose and a stomach knows that KFC is no place to be eating. Those "bowl meals" are the most disgusting thing I've ever seen - mashed potatoes, chicken nuggets, corn and gravy all mixed up together. Looks for all the world like somebody ate it before.

And their alleged cole slaw is the most vomit-inducing substance I know of, full of sugar or maybe high-fructose corn syrup, outpacing ipecac by a wide margin. I have had to eat at a KFC three times in my life, due to being on the road in places where there was no other realistic choice. I would never do it again, because after eating at KFC, this much I know:

There are worse things than hunger.

Ye gods. Why is this even a story?

Yeah! Where's the Beef?

/Sorry, just had to.

Anyone with a nose and a stomach knows that KFC is no place to be eating.

THIS.

S'rsly, just won't eat there anymore.

Makes Spud all rumbly in the tumbly.

Do. Not. Want.

Be Well.

"just won't eat there anymore"

You've actually eaten at KFC?
And you live in Vancouver?
WTF?

Spud best theory there is that the Colonel musta discovered a specific combintion of eleven herbs and spices that when cooked with chicken produces an addictive scent that gradually over time turns builds up in yer bloodstream till you become you temporarily insane with the wild KFC cravings that do not ebb until you purchase and consume at least half a bucket of his wares.

* shakes tiny fit at sky *

DAMN YOU, COL SAUNDERS!!!

Spud's favorite part of the theory, of course, is that it frees Spud of all personal responsibility wotsoever.

The fact that it's obviously nonsensical and verging on the insane is but a small drawback.

A minor glitch.

Be Well.

I'll have a bucket of drumsticks and a soylent shake to go...

When I was a kid my folks had a BBQ joint in Waco.

I have NEVER had better fried chicken since.

I used to scrub the deep fat fryers spotless; Boiled water in 'em; Always used fresh cottonseed oil; Who knows how long the "oil" at KFC goes between cleanings?

I have a recipe for beef pot roast that involves allowing the pot roast to simmer in a slow-cooker for about a day in water with just a touch of chicken soup. I've tried it on a number of people, who have all thought it tasted great. I'm really not much of a fan of KFC, but adding beef flavoring to chicken is an "out of the box" idea that makes me want to try it.

I wasn't but I am now. Great story.

Here's the trailer for the new Food Inc movie.

www.foodincmovie.com

You can always go get a "flaked and formed" beef product "steak" sandwich. I have wondered many times just which person at which eatery is more deceived. Very little of what is served in the fast to quick service food establishments is even close to what we think it is? Take Arby's Roast Beef--no, can't go there-must close-help-feeling sick.....

Had to play this one

www.youtube.com

It could be good if El Pollo Loco, "The Crazy Chicken," could somehow tarnish KFC with a Mad Cow reference.

Big deal, it's all meat. If you are going to eat one dead animal you might as well eat them all. Make a check list to make sure you don't miss any.

I can never get myself to step into KFC.

Also just so you know if you knew half of what is in your food you would never eat anything!!! Not even ketchup! So lets be realistic here.

The more different kinds of animals who are brutally slaughtered and prepared for my enjoyment at less than $5 per meal, the better.

Chicken is especially tasty when it's soaked in a vat of other animals' greasified adipose tissue, right?

"Spud best theory there is that the Colonel musta discovered a specific combintion of eleven herbs and spices that when cooked with chicken produces an addictive scent that gradually over time turns builds up in yer bloodstream till you become you temporarily insane with the wild KFC cravings that do not ebb until you purchase and consume at least half a bucket of his wares."

Actually, I think the Colonel's stroke of genius was to get into the market at a time when hot dogs and hamburgers of indifferent quality were the most-available fast food. Here in Atlanta, we had McDonald's, Carroll's, Burger Chef and Krystal (like White Castle) for hamburgers, and Lum's for hot dogs. Pizza was almost non-existent; you had to go to an Italian restaurant like Caruso's to get it, and kids craved it so much that their God-fearin' Southern Baptist parents saw to it that they almost never got any, figuring that if Junior liked it, it had to be bad for him in the first place and sinful in the second.

Enter the Colonel with his eleven herbs and spices. The fried chicken probably felt much more like a meal than anything else you could get cheaply, and the herb/spice mix ensured - for better or worse - that you hadn't tasted anything like it at home.

I'd still rather try talking a dog out of a few of his Beggin' Strips. For an account from someone who actually tried that, go here:

......one would think so.....however.......

.....I saw a documentary a while back......when a "formed" chickenburger is made, they take the beak, claws, bones, skin, fat, everything but the feathers, smush them, flavor them, and they even have to add vitamins to them because the processing takes out anything of nutritional value.....

......so whenever you read BEEF BY-PRODUCTS, or CHICKEN BY-PRODUCTS on a label.......

......you know that you're getting the parts you would not eat if you knew what they were......


.....the LITE CHICKEN NUGGETS.......

.....are probably the ones they put the feathers in.....

#37 - no wonder the Lite ones are "light as a feather."

BTW Skiz do you get paid by the number of periods you use? Are you a PPP (Paid Period Proliferator)?

en.wikipedia.org

In 1983, writer William Poundstone tackled the recipe in his book Big Secrets. He reviewed Sanders' patent application, and advertised in college newspapers for present or former employees willing to share their knowledge.[12] From the former he deduced that Sanders had diverged from other common fried-chicken recipes by varying the amount of oil used with the amount of chicken being cooked, and starting the cooking at a higher temperature (about 400F, 200C) for the first minute or so and then lowering it to 250F (120C) for the remainder of the cooking time. Several of Poundstone's contacts also provided samples of the seasoning mix, and a food lab found that it consisted solely of sugar, flour, salt, black pepper and monosodium glutamate (MSG). He concluded that it was entirely possible that, in the years since Sanders sold the chain, later owners had begun skimping on the recipe to save costs.[13][14][15] Following his buyout in 1964, Colonel Sanders himself expressed anger at such changes, saying, "That friggin' ... outfit .... They prostituted every goddamn thing I had. I had the greatest gravy in the world and those sons of bitches they dragged it out and extended it and watered it down that I'm so goddamn mad."[14][15]

Here's what the typical DR snob does;

DR Snob #1; (with a continental accent) 'Eat at KFC??? NEVER'? 'I only eat french food prepared by naked nubian nymphomaniac chefs in my villa'. 'hmmmft'.

DR Snob #2; (in a sniveling whiney tone) 'yes, and ya know what? it upsets my bowels. makes me have a runny bottom'.

-----Offline-----------

DR Snob #1; 'I said Git in tha Truck, Bitch, we gonna go to town and try those new KFC deep fried chicken intestines'.

Dr Snob #2; 'Heeeeeyyyyyyy, can you pick me up and extra large tube of preparation h?'

Here's what the typical DR snob does:

I haven't had KFC since they discontinued Chicken Littles (think KFC/White Castle love child) around 86 or 87. I don't remember if it gave me runny poo.

Hagbard "DR Snob" Celine (figured I might as well own it)

Living in the rural German countryside and eating wholesome, mostly locally grown food for 13 years... this "story", which boils down to one purveyor of disgusting, synthetic, industrial, barely digestible, food-like greasy garbage, ground out of horribly ill-treated animals, accusing another of doing something to their recipe that "seems wrong" ... makes me happy I live here :o)

Sure. Becuase there is no middle ground there at all, is there?

It's either that rot-gut called KFC or french food.

Sure.

-DR Snob Commonsense.

Rendered beef fat is known as Beef Tallow" Rendered pork fat is lard. Rendering is to boil, generally in a oven, at low heat the fat of an animal until the moisture is greatly reduced. Think of it as concentrated death that taste so good.

Remember when McDonald's fries tasted so good? They were cooked in a mixture of over 90% tallow and the rest cotton seed oil. Never been the same since the food police got after them.

The use of either goes back to prehistory times.

Y'all got sums of dat dare KFC Beef Chicken in yo' fridge? It sho ain't no Popeyes, is I right? Sheeeet.

I don't mind a little KFC once in a great [great] while, but it helps to have a little hard liquor in the stomach to kill off whatever the "cooks" were picking and scratching prior to serving you.

KFC Mashed potato and gravy was a favorite of mine after a few beers when I was in high school/college.
