Yummr's Main Dish
- Holy Chicken
-
KFC, best known for its fried chicken, is introducing it's first system wide fish item called the KFC "Fish Snacker" via a controversial publicity ploy. KFC president Greg Dedrick wrote a personal letter to Pope Benedict XVI, asking the head of the Catholic church to bestow a formal blessing on the Fish Snacker. The new fish item debuted on Ash Wednesday, just in time for Lent and the traditional abstaining of meat on Fridays.
I don't know about you, but I still wouldn't eat KFC even if by some miracle (no pun intended) the Pope actually did give the fish sandwich his blessing. In fact, aliens from outer space could come down and tell me that the sandwich was a gift from the universe and it would make just about the same amount of difference to me. What do you think? Do you feel compelled to check out a new food item if it has a clever marketing ploy attached to it or do you prefer to discover new things on your own?

What is this fish snacker you speak of? I've never had it before. Sounds interesting, though. I'd laugh if the Pope gave it his blessing. Jesus likes fried fish too, you know!
