   Italians and the French have been doing this for years... it's called Chicken Cordon Bleu. Ham and cheese inside of fried chicken breast - pretty much the same as this except this is Americanized and extreme.

   I was always confused by your name, but seeing this new product clarifies everything!

   This is about as stupid as The Carl's Jr. low carb burger I saw a few years back that consisted of two lettuce leafs for buns. (I'm not from the US)

   For some reason, the first thing this made me think of was years ago, a coworker telling me in all seriousness that vegetarians could eat at KFC because KFC wasn't legally allowed to call themselves "Kentucky Fried Chicken" anymore, because they were supposedly lab-growing headless, skinless chickens that were never technically alive. I tried to tell him that they changed their moniker to "KFC" in an attempt to divert attention from the "Fried" part of the name, and that the Frankenchicken story was just an urban legend, but he was convinced that what he was saying was true. The same coworker insisted that vegetarians could eat at Taco Bell because they used soy fillers in their taco meat. "But there's still meat," I said, and he agreed. "Then vegetarians can't eat it." I don't think he ever got what I was trying to say.

   As for this? Would I try it? Ummmm. A resounding NO.

    Noelegy- this neatorama article is interesting, but i was way more interested with your odd vegetarian conversation.

    KFC are amateurs.
    The Vortex restaurant in Atlanta served me a daily special once. Once. I think it was called a southern style burger, or something like that. After you find out what it is, you'll realize why I can't remember what it was called. Part of it is still lodged in my brain, another part in my aorta. Okay, so it's a half pound hamburger, served on a huge southern-style biscuit. But don't stop there. It was topped with not one, not two, not three but four strips of deep-fried, thick bacon. But wait, there's more! On top of all that, a heaping helping of sausage gravy! Served with your choice of side or salad. Just kidding, no salad. I chose a huge pile of tater tots. Ketchup? No way, too much like a vegetable. May-yo-naise! Proud to say that I finished the whole freaking thing, and I either survived, or I'm some kind of meat zombie. Please don't tell my health care company that I subjected myself to this, or they may drop me for a pre-existing condition, "willingness to submit himself to self inflicted medical experimentation"

    Someone did the math from the current available nutritional information (this sandwich is currently just "testing" in certain parts of america, and is apparently doing quite well)

    Anyway, it comes out to 858 calories and 62.4 grams of fat

    I wouldn't be surprised if that's a conservative calculation though. Judging by the picture, they've made the batter thicker to hold it all together better.

    From a purely logistical point of view, that sucker must be a mess to eat and hot as hell on the fingers.

    Sandwiches should have bread to keep the fingers cleanish.

    Mmmm I want some chicken cordon bleu now, but this may do acceptably as a substitute. Honestly I don't think I could finish the whole thing though. It looks enormous.

    Paula:

    I was a vegetarian for about ten years. During that time, I got used to being an object of curiosity among just about any group of people in which I found myself. My coworkers at the time were particularly baffled. We worked at a building in an industrial park where there weren't many food delivery options, so if someone was going to pick up food for themselves, passing around a menu was just good etiquette.

    One thing I constantly encountered (especially with my mom) was that people seemed very concerned that I was able to get enough to eat. Another common reaction was that people would come to me with any information even remotely related to vegetarianism, regardless of its authenticity. As the story I related above.

    re: A

    Im glad the low carb thing is gone or at least fading.

    A friend of mine cannot eat gluten and always has her burger on lettuce.

    I haven't eaten meat in over 36 years. (I never liked it when I did eat it)

    At age 52, I only weigh 8 pounds more than I did when I graduated from high school, and I haven't been to a doctor in about 20 years.

    The only thing I use fast food joints for is the restrooms.

    August 21st, 2009 at 10:56 pm

    Saw this elsewhere earlier with no credit and figured it was one of those things some whackjob on the internet came up with. Didn't realise it was real.

    But I would SO eat one. Almost never eat junkfood, and that looks... Well sod it I just want the chicken.

    August 21st, 2009 at 10:59 pm

    B.D: Some people are just genetically pre-disposed that way. Kudos to you. Doubt it has anything to do with not eating meat. Humans are omnivores, not herbivores.

    You're the sort of person that says all that and one day will just drop down dead. (Jim Fixx immediately springs to mind.)

    Wow, but... fast food bacon is always disappointing. Especially when combined with fast food fried chicken (I'm specifically thinking of the Wendy's Chicken Club), which totally overwhelms it.

    Kudos to KFC, though, for trying something absolutely wacky.

    Oh no. Ooooooooh nonononononono- This should be banned, forbidden! Bad for health- veeeeery bad. Bad Bad Bad Bad KFC!

    ...Pffff....
    With all this commotion about this cordon blue in some new form, it is high time for us to drink some gin, smoke a cigarette and build myself a nice reefer to calm the nerves....

    As long customers buy these things, KFC and other food chains are going to create them. They must be banned. They are more bad for health, than a pack of cigarettes but smoking is banned. Why not these deadly foods too?

    "I only go to fast food places to use the restroom"

    Yeah, that's precisely the sort of statement that makes everyone hate vegetarians. So you would dare eat at McMayhem at the risk of clogging up your dainty arteries but you have problem with clogging up their drains with you foul vege-poo. I've been guilty of using fastfood restrooms without buying anything many a time, but that was usually after washing down a massive real burger around the corner where the bathroom had a dead meth-head in it (I had no problem with that - it was just that he was blocking the door).

    Bottomline:
    The right to abuse restroom privileges is won through self-abuse. You don't have to do it there, but you sure as hell have to do it somewhere. It's karma.
    Now go wipe your tears on a piece of lettuce and get to work.

    “I only go to fast food places to use the restroom”

    Yeah, that’s precisely the sort of statement that makes everyone hate vegetarians.

I’ve been guilty of using fast-food restrooms without buying anything many a time, but that was always after washing down a massive real burger with a bottle of whiskey around the corner where the bathroom had a dead meth-head in it (I had no problem with that - it was just that he was blocking the door).

    This will work, if you go buy one, take it home, cut it in pieces, and serve it to the family for a main dish, along with tomatoes, broccoli, biscuits, and maybe a salad.

    Noelegy, that is interesting.

    I wouldn't try this because I can't trust KFC. Not since I found out the grilled chicken is made with beef extracts. Cowchicken?
