At KFC, its not only the chicken that’ll get you

Honey “Sauce”?

Honey Sauce is apparently a cousin to “cheese food*.” Except cheese food has to have at least 51% cheese. Check out the ingredients:

Bummer. Just when KFC is debuting it’s “Kentucky Grilled Chicken” option. Which, by the way, isn’t exactly grilled; it’s actually roasted.

    * Pasteurized process cheese food is a variation of process cheese that may have dry milk, whey solids, or anhydrous milkfat added, which reduces the amount of cheese in the finished product. It must contain at least 51% of the cheese ingredient by weight, have a moisture content less than 44%, and have at least 23% milkfat.

    Let’s not even talk about “Buttery Spread.” They don’t even list the ingredients, except to say it’s “artificially flavored.”

    I think that makes it real cheese, grammatically speaking.

    Ick. When I lost a bet and had to have a bucket of chicken for dinner, I tossed the margarine immediately, but we used the honey packets. As I was packing them away for camping or something, I discovered they were “honey spread”, and they joined their brethren in the trash. Disgusting. And disgusting that I didn’t notice as I was eating the “biscuits”. God only knows what’s in the biscuits.

    I do think it is fascinating that a bunch of chemical engineers, chemists, and other food specialists sit around in their offices and figure this stuff out. The manufacturing of food is a rather fascinating subject, as long as you don’t eat it. That is my rather large geek side coming out however.

    I love that Heather ate a bucket of KFC because she lost a bet. She’s the only person I know to have done that.

    But Alarming, it DOES have honey somewhere in the ingrediants. You liberals are just so damn picky.
