I thought you were joking before I saw a bbc report today -

"Police in Tower Hamlets, east London, urged the public not to waste officers’ time by complaining about closed KFC stores. "

Is that stuff mechanically recovered? I looked at it the other week and assumed it must be at £1.99 a bucket.

I thought along the same lines - but then I'm forever being 'told off' for complaining about spelling and grammar.... :oops:

I made some falafel for lunch the other day. Yummy! For years I've been experimenting to try and unearth the perfect falafel recipe - with innumerable failures (usually involving them falling to bits) - now I've finally hit upon a recipe that actually works! I claim no credit: it's from one of Yotam Ottolenghi's books. And strictly vegan! But that's not the point: the point is, I'm certain there are plenty of KFC-addicts out there, who'd take to my falafel like a shot! Healthier eating (well, a bit healthier) and better for the planet too (well, a bit better)!

On the downside, I have no idea what a KFC tastes like. So I may be boxing at shadows...

I'm sure that Strictly Vegan will be a smash hit series, and an interesting spin-off.

I haven't seen a KFC in Norway. I do miss chippies, though. There's one in Oslo, but that's a bit far to go for a chippy.

Many of the fast food chains here are Swedish. Norwegians joke about how they have IKEA'd fast food and exported it to Norway and there's some truth in that. Max Burgers and Wayne's Coffee are highly successful (Max burgers has a bigger market share than McDonald's in Sweden), and have borrowed heavily from IKEA's supply and distribution models.

By "mechanically recovered" do you mean picked up by bike or the other form of mechanical transport we're all meant hate?

Kentucky Fried Porridge, the margin on that would be large if one bought 25 kg sacks
