turns out KFC really does serve crap

KFC has launched an investigation after the chain was caught serving ice with bacteria from faeces on it.

The shocking discovery was made at the KFC branch in Birmingham's Martineau Place by researchers from BBC One's Rip Off Britain show.
They were looking into food hygiene standards at several big name takeaways and coffee shops.
Experts said most the samples turned up low and harmless levels of bacteria – but warned customers could get sick from the bug found in the KFC drink.

The only explanation is water out of the toilet was used to make the ice.
Finger licking good it is not.:eek:

There is no way this could of been an accident and too be honest I think people should thick twice about eating from filthy fast food outlets.

I know this story is from England but let us not forget many of us have been eating horse quarter ponders for years without knowing it.

Surely the most likely explanation is a member of staff washing their hands in the wrong water.

KFC is absolute trash food. It's the bottom of the list for fast food outlets.

I never get ice in my drinks, machines like those are cleaned once a century.

Probably just accidental and it could be worse :

It's not just filthy fast food restaurants.
I worked in a spa in a fancy hotel and we got fed for free but had to wait in the kitchen to put our order in. If you saw the state of the kitchen, and the way the staff were, (dessert chef person licking their fingers, another lad picking his nose) you'd never eat there again. We used to just get sandwiches if one chef was on. You could get the dinner if the cleaner chef was working.

Where I work now there's a restaurant nearby and you see them out in their white clothes and apron smoking. Nasty af.
If anything I'd say the likes of supermacs is probably cleaner, cause at least you can kinda see the work area.

.

Actually it could be a number of other factors, which is far more worrying than mick using water from the jacks to make a few ice cubes.

People are too sensitive.

Bacteria can be good for your immune system.

I can remember when I was working in a place in a shopping centre and I was down in the loading area where deliveries for units for that particular section are.

There was pallette of chicken dropped off for KFC, it was just left sitting there and I noticed there was two cats clawing at it.

Coliform turns up a lot, it's the, 'taytay', of food contamination.

Ikea (and countless others..) get done for it every few years. Just google..

The popularity of KFC is mystifying to me. I've been in it about 6 or 8 times in my life and without fail I feel queasy half an hour later then the next morning I can actually see the grease coming out the pores on my face.

rhabarbarum · 25-04-2016 12:37PM

Not surprised, honestly. Most fast food chains cannot afford proper food preparation standards.

There's no way you can make an assertion like that based on the information you got. It could have been a burst pipe somewhere, it could have come from dirty hands, broken machinery.

What difference does it make?

Given the fact that you go into KFC for crusty fowl, you can't really say getting some crusty gowel is that much of a change to the order.

KFC has gone downhill since they were in Oconnell st in the current supermacs site.
Can't remember when that was 80's/90's. ?

As for kitchens.....I've been in the kitchens of some of the upmarket restaurants in the Stephens green area. ..Suffice it to say, I wouldn't eat in the restaurants!

KFC used to be beautiful. Finger lickin good indeed. The skin used to be light and crispy and everyone used to go and on and on about what it could be that was in their recipe that made it taste so damn tasty and that was just the outside of it. The chicken itself was succulent and moist and with every bite you went to heaven. It was quite simply divine. Their coleslaw sublime.

Now it's shit. It's over salted, mulchy, tasteless gloop. It's nothing short of a God damn disgrace to be quite honest.

“Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.
Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell, and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die.”

- Oscar Wilde

It just tastes cheaper and greasier. On the 2 occasions I've had it, I needed to lye down afterwards before I threw up.

FunLover18 · 25-04-2016 01:43PM

Seriously guys, this is nothing new. A quick Google of 'Ice Machine Cleanliness Research' will tell you that.

I started the thread and all but I have to ask why did you have in a 2nd time after puking the first time?

I didn't puke, I felt like it though. I had it a 2nd time just to give it another shot.
