When will the madness end???

KFC faces gravy shortage in United Kingdom after rebounding from chicken panic

This is finger-licking bad.

KFC faces a gravy shortage in the United Kingdom, just a week after the fast food chain temporarily closed its doors there.

Parent company Yum! Brands said the dwindling flow of gravy was part of ongoing issues with new supplier DHL, which last week led to the chicken catastrophe.

“Due to the ongoing distribution challenges DHL is experiencing, some restaurants are continuing to serve a reduced menu,” a Yum! spokesman told Reuters. “We’re working as hard as we can to get this sorted out. We know that our gravy is a big favorite!”

I know that shit is packaged as a powder. Can we not airlift some to our closest ally?? You can’t have KFC without their signature gravy!!!

I love that shit, on the rare occasion we get KFC. In fact, when they ask what two sides you’d like, I get two sides of mashed potatoes because I love them that much! (Yeah, my wife is a gem for limiting my fast food intake, lol!)

and order a bucket with sides and a soft drink cup full of gravy to dip his chicken in. When done he’d drink the remaining gravy!
