KFC's new all-meat sandwich

April 5, 2010

KFC readies all-meat sandwich

By QMI Agency

KFC's newest menu item gives new meaning to the phrase, "Finger-licking good."

It's called the Double Down and it's two pieces of bacon, two slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and the franchise's trademark Colonel's Sauce, all packed between two boneless fried chicken fillets.

This breadless wonder made its first appearance in Rhode Island and Nebraska in August for public testing, and it looks like it passed. According to KFC.com, the sandwich will launch across the U.S. on April 12.

"This product is so meaty, there's no room for a bun," boasts the Double Down page on KFC.com, which features a clock counting down to the second until launch day.

The grilled Double Down contains 460 calories, with 23 grams of fat and 1,430 milligrams of sodium, according to KFC.com.

Original recipe Double Down has 540 calories, 32 g of fat and 1,380 mg of sodium.

By comparison, the U.S. daily recommended intake is 2,000 calories, 65 g of fat and 2,300 mg of sodium.

There's no word yet on when, if ever, this new menu item will launch in Canada.

Ew. :\

Even if I ate meat that would be too much. And look at that fat and sodium!

Bacon = Pork.

[SivartM]

= Pig corpse

*chokes*

[Cosmin M.]

But there are some bacon that doesn't have any pork in it, just beef, or vegetarian bacon. :D

[SivartM]

Mmm... stripples...

Imagine this sandwich with stripples and Fri-chik! :D

[Cosmin M.]

I remember buying a pack of those stripples thing, em all in one sitting....

[SivartM]

I'd do that if stripples weren't so expensive... hmm...

*goes off to invent a homemade stripples recipe*

[Cosmin M.]

Depends where you buy them from. :D

I love stripples in grilled cheese, with a slice of tomato and onion too.

Around Christmas time I remember seeing a lot of turkey bacon and turkey ham in the grocery stores around here.

Plus I live in a very multi-cultural suburb, and there are plenty of stores catering to Middle Eastern people (most of whom are Muslim). It is common to find lots of meat products like "ham", "bacon", "salami", "pepperoni", and many others, made from beef.

Romania is a pork eating country, the main religion here is Orthodox. When we go to the store and we want to buy some meat, we have to read really close to see if it has any pork in it. Most meat products here do, it is really hard to din meat that is not pork here, but there are in the super markets.

Excellent atherogenic, neoplastic-promoting sandwich.

Seems to consider the mores of the society we live in.

"For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,"Philippians 3:18-20 NKJV

This text is not meant to be a judgment on those who find food an event worth enjoying, for I can say I also find it a battle to remember we are the temple of the living God.

"Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men. "Romans 14:16-18 NKJV
