Sleepy Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 From the article: "A student who found what appeared to be a chicken brain in his KFC meal has vowed never to eat there again - despite being offered vouchers for free food as an apology. Ibrahim Langoo was left nauseated after spotting a 'wrinkled brain' inside a piece of chicken while tucking into a Gladiator box meal at a branch in Colchester, Essex. The 19-year-old took a photograph of the three-inch piece of offal - later judged to be a kidney by KFC's experts - on his mobile phone and complained to staff." It's a bit gross so beware of the photo of the organ, but here's the article: [url="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2257951/Kentucky-Fried-Brain-Students-horror-finds-wrinkled-organ-inside-chicken-KFC-experts-insist-just-kidney.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490"]http://www.dailymail...s_campaign=1490[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 What I find weird, is that when one buys chicken, I don't think the head of the chicken is used at all. You have, legs. wings, and the middle body sections. What's a brain even doing inside of there? One I'd calculate to be roughly the size of the chicken's head itself.... maybe a bit thicker. It's understandable for KFC to try to protect their public image, but still....o.O" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I know it says that, though I'll at least go do a Google search, just to find out what the average kidney size for chicken are. I now got curious. Well.. at least it's not something like human limbs in there xD EDIT: yeah, definitely a kidney. The heat must have wrinkled it while cooked, but that's pretty much what it is.

Dwarven King Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 So...in a rush they forgot to take a kidney out. Something that is not harmful to eat, and one of those one in a million things. Still going to eat at KFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hounds Of Anubis Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I don't like KFC as it is, but I can't blame the guy from being put off for life. idk how the processing works, or how the stuff's cooked, but how does anyone miss a kidney like that? ._.

The Hounds Of Anubis Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Frankly, if I order a certain piece of meat, I don't expect to be given a different piece of meat due to sheer incompetency, especially one that looks as unappetising as a shrivelled kidney.

ihop Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 That looks foul. Good thing I don't even like KFC so I'm safe from this unless I find a cow kidney inside a beefburger which is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Ah, but if it's a mcdonalds beefburger, you're not going to be finding any cow in there. Just rats and chemicals. And fast-food chains have never been reliable for this. To be honest, I rarely go into them. And it's generally KFC that I go into, because it's the best out of the main ones. Seriously, McDonalds is much worse. Oh, and KFC is generally quite delicious. I never expect them to be perfect, but they're still great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 KFC is already freaking greasy stuff. This is without factoring in finding a frigging kidney in your food. Looking at the photo creeps me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
