Advertised as Kentucky Fried Chicken original recipe

The words you're looking for are 'beef tallow'. Same goes for McD's fries.

I stopped in a roadside diner a few years back, I couldn't even tell you what state it was in. I ordered a burger and fries and as soon as I bit into a french fry, I time-traveled back to a McDonalds in about 1983, and it was great, and I don't even like fries that much. There is CLEARLY a difference.

Clearly, the changes mandated by our illustrious government and their food pyramid are benefitting the public health....

I worked at Pizza Hut right when Tricon Global took over. We were hand-making dough every day, hand-cutting vegetables, serving 5% beer, and had a video game or two in the corner. And we were f'en packed every Friday Saturday and Sunday, and almost packed every other night for dinner.

Then came the frozen dough pucks. I spend a day on the crapper any time I eat it.
And the pre-cut veggies (so Taco Bell and KFC could use the same stuff).
and the 3.2 beer.
and the wage cuts.
and greasy pepperoni.
and so on.

Within a year, the store was deserted on a Saturday night, and the busiest we ever got was during lunch buffet. Corporate ownership, ruining yet another American Great.

There was no beef tallow or animal fat in the product we made for Tricon/Yum!, just Canola oil and Palm oil with other ingredients to make it harden and be mixed thoroughly.
This was in the early 2000s when I first started working there.
I personally ran the ''10/2'' machine for a few years off and on, and it was a pain in the ***...
And the shortening tasted somewhere between soap and wax when produced.
Yes, we had to do a taste test every hour! (as well as moisture and weight of the bricks etc.)
We have always been a ''Kosher'' plant, so no animal by products or ingredients are used in our production.
Remember, this is in Canada, so the U.S. might have had different rules.
BTW, I always liked the Kentucky Fried Chicken in the U.S. more than in Canada.
And I don't like the ''Extra Crispy'' version either, Original Recipe is what I like.
And chicken sandwiches?
I don't care for them, I prefer bone in chicken...
