You are correct & I have been remiss. I also skipped the
Nomex face mask & underwear: --

This is all getting very complicated for eating poutine at KFC.

They don't even make decent french fries, let alone decent poutine. Wouldn't it be easier to maybe not eat there?

We had a bucket o' chicken for dinner tonight.

Don't judge me,

Forgot to add: didn't order the poutine. I just didn't want to take the chance.

For Spaminator - poutine is a murderous concoction consisting of French fries covered with lumps of cheese and then covered with gravy. If you want a heart attack this is a quick way to get one. It was reportedly invented in Quebec as an apology for maple syrup. Interestingly it has now made its way to a few of the northern US states. Like, Americans don't have enough artery-hardening food, they have to import it from Canada.

But it has to be hot. Luke warm Poutine is slop.

I'd suggest that people simply be warned that hot foods can burn. People that have epilepsy and may be in danger of burning themselves should automatically be given food slightly higher than 140 F. Warm cheese is disgusting but when it is hot, it is sticky and does not cool down very quickly.
Back when I worked at Boston Pizza, I was munching on pizza and took a bite out of the first piece. When I pulled the bitten piece away, the cheese stuck to my teeth or something and the entire wad of toppings flopped down off the crust and landed on my chin. But my reaction time was quick and I only had a slight red patch for a day or two. In spite of that, however, I don`t need any nanny state mollycoddling me. I`m just more careful about eating things with hot cheese on them.
At 165 F. one`s skin begins 3rd-degree burn within 1 second; at 155 F., at one second; at 150 F., at 2 seconds; and at 140 F., in 5 seconds. Raw and cooked food is bacteriologically unsafe between 40 F. and 140 F.

For the best of burns, try biting into battered and deep-fried mushroom caps....

Right. Everyone you encounter in your life is responsible for your well being at all times regardless of your actions.

Wow another Captain America. First he gives his kid one of the deadliest meals
there is. He knows what her medical problems are yet he puts this piping hot
dish in front of her, in harms way as it were.
After making enough mistakes he blames KFC for cooking hot things hot. What
the hell is he thinking or is he. How would you melt the lumps of cheese if it were
not for hot fries and gravy? If he didn't look after his special needs daughter
better than that, maybe child services should be called in. (Yes that was over the
top) but it illustrates just how ridiculous this guy is.

Grumpy, I guess you missed this part of the article:
"Customers in the restaurant rushed to her aid, pulling her out of the Canadian classic dish. Someone inside the restaurant called 911 and her family.
Lakin got to the eatery a short time later and while paramedics were tending to his daughter, her chin started to blister and her neck appeared red and burned. She went to the hospital and was treated for second-degree burns."

The food in question is served very hot from what I understand. I have Quebec relatives
and they actually eat this stuff. I know nothing about it as my levels are too high as it is.
Yes I missed part of it, and criticism warranted. The problem is that we cannot regulate
a plate of poutine because someone gets burned. The only remedy of regulation might
be that anyone under age cannot buy poutine without their parents being present.
If we start with food regulation for the normal food serving methods we will have a lot of
problems. We opened the door with peanut butter in schools. I understand that to a
degree because kids share lunches at times and that could be deadly with allergies.
Surely we don't have to have a temperature for the cooking of each dish.

When we were kids and got food that was too hot we used to just blow on it for a few minutes............no problem!

Bacteria and whatnot proliferates between 40 and 140 degrees F. So yeah, I'd prefer my cooked food to be above 140 and my salads n stuff below 40.
Meats in particular should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160.

Long story short.... having a seizure is a completely unpredictable event and there's no way in hell to 'seizure proof' the world. Hot food, hard floors, pointy fences, traffic, pools, bath tubs. No epileptic I know has ever been able to escape one or two bizarre injuries because of a seizure, and some end up dying. it's a sad fact of life, but a fact nonetheless.

Absolutely Karrie
As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of poutine, I know that it has to be hot. You can't protect everyone from everything. It
is a sad fact of life that people who are epileptic will occasionally be victims of circumstance. Usually, the plate of poutine
will sit for a moment until the rest of your order is ready but there is no guarantee.
