To be tempted to take grapes back to the market stall I bought them from before Xmas

And ask them what the frig they've done to them because they're not off yet!?

Bought them 2 weeks before Xmas at the fruit stall inside the hospital I go to, just past Xmas it ended up as a bit of a joke as they hadn't gone off yet but we kept them to see how long they could possibly last.

The buggers show no sign of ever dying! Confused

I used to work in KFC...

And yes, it is bloody terrifying. I knew it was all mechanically reclaimed shite but I had no idea it was that bad.

notreal chicken? What the hell is it then? Fucking Hippogriff?!?

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 22/02/2013 01:59

I know the chicken legs and stuff are definitely real chicken because we had to actually break them into that shape.

Do you have a picture of grapes in the attic?

Booyhoo · 22/02/2013 02:06

apparently (and this is where i started disbelieving) there are genetically manipulated organisms without feathers, beaks or feet that are kept alive by tubes pumping blood and nutrients. their bone structure is shrunken to get more 'meat' out of them.

i haven't liked the article on my FB so dont know if i can link to it here?

Booyhoo · 22/02/2013 02:09

i'm sure i've seen KFC ads where the man is dipping the chicken pieces into the flour and he says something about the chicken being delivered fresh daily. although not seen it recently but i did see an ad for popcorn chicken the other day. Confused

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 22/02/2013 02:13

Kobayashi You've lost me there.

Booyhoo Yeah they dip it into the flour (the actual chicken pieces, not strips and stuff obvously) and stuff themselves but it isn't delivered fresh daily, it's all kept in a big freezer.

i think there was very small writing on the bottom of the screen saying "deliveries may vary" or something like that Grin

Booyhoo · 22/02/2013 02:18

so are hot wings real chicken?

and do you know the recipe so i can make them at home?

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 22/02/2013 02:27

I think they are. Wink Can't guarantee it's decent chicken but I am pretty sure it is real chicken.

Unfortunately I don't know the recipe, I only lasted 2 weeks because even I was disgusted.

Sad i've been looking online for it but no joy so far. i am hoping to make so much that i make myself sick of it and stop wanting them. we dont have KFC near here and the cravings drive me mad!

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 22/02/2013 02:41

What about this one?

So are you going to take back your indestructible vines grapes?

Hopefully someone will come along and write a little poem about these little grapes of steel that would be so funny Grin

Who would have thought that grapes could be so robust, so durable and uttery defiant in the face of all the elements in your house/fridge?

ripsishere · 22/02/2013 02:44

KFC is nasty, DD has never had it because her cousins told her it's all pigeon meat Grin
The everlasting grapes. D'ya think they'd lead to everlasting grapes if you ate them?

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 22/02/2013 02:45

I am so tempted to take them back but I don't think they would even believe me, it's been forever! He'll probably just think I'm a loon even though I quite obviously am.

ripsishere · 22/02/2013 02:46

Just had a look at that recipe. Who knew chickens had flippers?

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 22/02/2013 02:47

rip I'm not going to chance it to find out. I'd attempt to feed them to DP on the sly but he's been laughing about them with me so wont be fooled. :(

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 22/02/2013 02:48

Just seen that too, WTAF is a chicken flipper? Confused

"He'll probably think I'm a loon" Grin

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 22/02/2013 02:50

Fecking stupid recipe, DP heard me laughing and demanded to know what I was giggling about, told him and now he's talking about "scuba chickens"...

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 22/02/2013 02:56

I have no idea.

MammaTomato · 22/02/2013 02:56

I think the thing about KFC not being allowed to use the word "chicken" was debunked on snopes.com

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 22/02/2013 02:57

Even google doesn't seem to know about these chicken flipper things.
