Bacon & cheese sandwiched between two pieces of fried chicken?

[pokerfan]

This has to be a joke:

[Bryan]

1. If it's not a joke, then hoo boy

This may top the failure pile in a sadness bowl. Still, I might want to eat it once out of curiosity.

[Bertha Venation]

2. I doubt it.

What chain?

[pokerfan]

3. It says KFC on the wrapper

Found it: http://www.kfc.com/doubledown

[Bertha Venation]

5. ah - I hadn't looked closely enough

I wouldn't be surprised if they actually introduced this. They did create the Vomit Bowl, after all.

[noamnety]

24. I can't believe you caused me to google "vomit bowl"

After googling that, I came to a photo of "what chicken looks like before it’s pressed into nugget form."

[Bertha Venation]

30. OMG! It's the Pink Chicken Snake! The Pink Chicken Snake!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[flvegan]

4. Probably not a joke.

Far too many Americans will shovel the worst shit in the world into their piehole.

Seems they don't know any better nor care to find out.

[LeftyMom]

29. I could totally veganize that.

:evilgrin:

[jmowreader]

32. Well, someone veganized turducken and Cheddar cheese, so anything's possible

On the vegan Cheddar cheese: I was flipping around the internets looking for Cheddar cheese recipes...for some bizarre reason I want to build a cheese press once I reach the Northwest. I found this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3FYduSF-dw

Contains agar, tomato paste, raw cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, tahini, miso, onion powder, salt, garlic powder and dry mustard.

If you follow his example exactly the recipe also contains teflon shards, because you're supposed to stir the product with the tines of a steel fork.

This might be good, but to me it looks more like it belongs on the list of things you're not allowed to feed prisoners of war.

[LeftyMom]

33. I've done similar things minus the tomato. And the teflon.

Other than color I'm not sure what the tomato paste is supposed to add. As far as cheese that contains no actual cheese goes, I'm a big fan of this stuff. http://www.daiyafoods.com/

And I'm responsible for unleashing vegan turducken on the world. Well, flvegan helped.

[jmowreader]

44. I saw "Veggie Crumbles" in the store once...

This is supposedly vegetarian cheese, right? Ingredient number two: casein.

I figure if you're going to eat a vegetarian cheese whose second-most-prevalent ingredient is made from milk, you may as well go back to the Dairy department and get a brick of the real thing.

[LeftyMom]

45. I think those are supposed to be for people with lactose intolerance.

But I've never really figured out why a manufacturer would make something like that and not actually make it dairy free so they could sell to vegans and dairy allergic people and have a much larger potential market.

[jmowreader]

47. Especially because of the name!

I totally expected something named "VEGGIE Crumbles" to be, y'know, made out of veggies!

[jmowreader]

49. I went back to the video...

The miso and tomato paste are used, as you suspected, to turn it yellow. (Which is strange you'd put it in there in the first place, because Cheddar is actually SUPPOSED to be a white cheese! And it seems to me that a vegan white cheddar would taste better than this guy's tomato aspic.)

[SeattleGirl]

6. I think my cholesterol level just went up ten-fold looking at

that pic!

:scared:

[Mopar151]

7. It needs the cheese, at least

Skinless filets - drryyy. Better to get the grilled, recognizable chicken, and do the coleslaw for your side. I'm no food prude, but those are the best tasting things on the menu, too. Maybe they should swap out the erzatz corn on the cob side for some red beans and rice, a'la Popeye's

[Drunken Irishman]

8. This reminds me of that Simpsons episode...

Where Lisa and Abe are complaining about being too young/old and that no one listens to them.

Then Homer pipes in that he's a white male, age 18 to 49 and how everyone listens to him - no matter how dumb the idea.

Then he pulls out a can of Nuts and Gum.

[hippywife]

9. I wouldn't eat it but

it looks way more appetizing than their mashed potato bowls. Ick!

I think they've had this Double Down thing around here before. Seems I've seen it on their signs. It must be like the McRib thing McDonalds does, limited time thing and all.

[pokerfan]

10. I never thought about meat on the outside of a sandwich before

I think I'll make a ham and cheese sandwich with two pork-chops instead of bread.

[hippywife]

12. Probably works well for those folks

who still think the Atkin's plan is a viable diet. :D

[Phentex]

11. I think it looks pretty good....

and I never understood the bowls either!

[namahage]

15. Right. This isn't the first time

for the Double Bypass Down.

From 2009:

[hippywife]

16. Thought it looked familiar.

:rofl:


:hi:

[WinkyDink]

13. It's low-carb!

[MiddleFingerMom]

14. The onliest way to improve on that...

.
...would be to wrap it in bacon.

And I've been making those "Mashed Potato Bowls" at home for many years to take to
work for lunch. Frozen green peas mixed in with the mashed potatoes, small chunks
of boneless chicken breast on top, and some shredded cheddar or swiss on top (maybe
some ranch or French dressing). Heat it up n' eat it up for lunch. Tasty.

[Heidi]

17. I think it sounds absolutely divine, and I'd certainly eat one or more, given the chance.

But I've had fast food only once in about 11 years, so I'm jonesin' and I'd likely regret it. But at this very moment, about five minutes before dinner, I'd like at least one, please. :yum:

[applegrove]

18. In Canada KFC does a great poutine which is fries, cheese curds and gravy.

Nothing like fat x3 in a fast food. LOL!

[Kali]

19. looks ok to me

I'd try one.

[Inspired]

20. I won't touch it but I think it looks yummy.

[Touchdown]

21. Oh' those are the boneless breast fillets.

You can get those separately. They are tasty... dunno about this though.

[miscsoc]

22. it's no stonner

[MadHound]

23. Just one more reason I haven't touched KFC in a quarter century and counting

Wonder how long until until customer just start dropping dead in their dining area.

[Odin2005]

25. Looks delicious!

[krispos42]

26. See now, they're doing it wrong.

They should use 3 of the breasts arranged to form a hollow triangle and held together with strips of bacon acting as support hoops. The hollow cavity would be lined with sliced cheese and filled with either ranch dressing or barbeque sauce.

[Touchdown]

27. Your idea doesn't work without a Krispy Kreme in the middle.

Gotta have one of those.

[krispos42]

28. We could then dip it in Krispy Kreme batter and then deep-fry it

And then glaze it!

Genius!!!!!

[MilesColtrane]

31. That thing's just begging to be put in between two Pop Tarts.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

34. It's a novelty.

Some college age kids sitting around the TV see that, they have a laugh, one of them dares the other to try it, so they all go down to KFC, and KFC makes money on potato wedges and soda.

It's like Wendy's triple baconator or whatever the hell they call it. Many of the fast food places have some ridiculous novelty menu item.

[MilesColtrane]

35. Hmm...

Maybe these joints need to include the disclaimer "for novelty value only" on these gastric abominations.

People are taking these colon bombs at face value.

36. Are you people sheltered or what? It's A Cordon Bleu!

anybody ever been to France?

[pokerfan]

39. Just Paris

Visited a Pizza Hut.

[Touchdown]

42. LOL!

:rofl:

[jmowreader]

50. When you got to Rome on your whirlwind European trip...

how long did you spend looking for the Olive Garden?

[pokerfan]

51. Don't judge me!

Pizza Hut:

[jmowreader]

55. Breathe a little easier. None of them are actually Pizza Huts

I did the same search you did.

A is Ristorante Pizzeria Villa Irma. Description contains the words The Dominoes, HTTP Dominos, HTTP Dominos Pizza...Pizza Hut, Olive Garden Restaurant...

B is Pizzeria La Montecarlo. "If you come here looking for NY, Chicago or Pizza Hut, this is not for you."

C is Il Brillo Parlante. Not certain if I want to eat in a place that has "brillo" in the title, but their pizza is "not thick (like pizza hut's)..."

D is Il Pomodorino Srl, where a reviewer said "The calzonelli was good, although my Pizza Hut-wired American brain probably wanted some tomato sauce with the ham and cheese."

E is Comito, which has all the same tags as A up there does.

F is Studio Tecnico Geom Alfredo Rotondo--same tags as E.

G is Volpetti-Pizzeria, of which is said "they don't use pizza sauce, or deep pan dishes, etc....if you are looking for NY style or Pizza Hut you're in the wrong country."

H is Al 34, where the reviewer complains of stupido Americano whp seem to love Pizza Hut rather than good Italian food. Incidentally, there is probably an Italian translation for "gut bomb" but I don't know what it is; Italians are not born with a "knowing how to cook" gene. The maternal side of my mom's family is Italian, so trust me on this.

I is Camponeschi Antonio Trattoria Tritone, which has "atmosphere equivalent to a Pizza Hut in the US and the service (is) non-existent.

J is Ristorante da Primo, which has the same tags as A.

They do not appear to have any actual Pizza Huts in Rome. OTOH, they have seventeen of them in France. I looked at the menu, and a French Pizza Hut is more like a regular European-owned pizza house than it is like a Pizza Hut. For one thing, Europeans don't buy one big-ass pizza and stick it in the middle of the table for everyone to pull slices off. In Europe, everyone at the table gets their own pizza. And the desserts they have! Man, I was kinda looking for the Television Chocolate thing Willy Wonka had...except this would be Television French Desserts.

[Powdered Toast Man]

40. Pretty much....

Just has an extra piece of chicken.

[Wapsie B]

37. Now put all of that between two Krispy Kremes or glazed Donutland donuts!

That would be a real sandwich!

[eppur_se_muova]

53. Like this?

http://www.accidentalhedonist.com/index.php?title=paula_deen_is_a_mad_genius&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
That's a bacon & egg burger, not chicken, but best/worst I could do.

[Wapsie B]

54. Yes exactly like that!

In a weird way it doesn't look half bad. But just for a bite or two.......or eight to get all the flavor combinations. ;-)

[Phentex]

56. I watched her make those and they

were too much, even for me. I'll try anything but that does not appeal to me at all.

[MrCoffee]

38. Yes please!

[Arugula Latte]

41. Okay. That's it.

As a society, we deserve to die off. This seals the deal.

[petronius]

43. I'd eat it, but they should get rid of the goopy cheez product and add in some

more bacon - for example, the paper bag could be replaced with a bacon container...

[Brewman_Jax]

46. I can't believe this

and I can't believe I didn't think of this first! :(



fooled ya! :rofl: :P

[Rambis]

48. But is it breaded then fried?

:toast:

[Crabby Appleton]

52. When they legalize pot

sales of that will go through the roof!!!!11!
