ah yes, but the Colonel's recipe is SOOO secret that
On September 9, 2008, the one complete copy was temporarily moved to an undisclosed location under extremely tight security while KFC revamped the security at its corporate headquarters. Before the temporary move, KFC disclosed the following details about the recipe and its security arrangements:
- The recipe, which includes exact amounts of each component, is written in pencil on a single sheet of notebook paper and signed by Sanders.
- The recipe was locked in a filing cabinet with two separate combination locks. The cabinet also included vials of each of the 11 herbs and spices used.
- Only two executives had access to the recipe at any one time. KFC refuses to disclose the names and titles of either executive.
- One of the two executives said that no one had come close to guessing the contents of the secret recipe, and added that the actual recipe would include some surprises.......
A popular tale is that the chicken products came from highly genetically modified animals without feathers, beaks, or feet, which were easier to harvest; the corollary to the myth is that the chain was forced to change its name from Kentucky Fried Chicken to KFC since it otherwise would be falsely advertising their products as being made from actual chickens
What is Canadian food? We are such a bunch of mutts representing just about every culture in the world. When I left Montreal to come out west I was astounded to find a sign in every restaurant window announcing they served Western Cuisine. I entered many an establishment trying to figure out just what that meant and finally figured out it meant hamburgers and Open Denvers. What an insult to the word cuisine. And most restaurants in the west challenge the concept of food (unless they are really good ethnic restaurants).
Exactly. I wonder if he meant just the food he ate here was bland? I hope he ain't at something other then fast food...cause that would be sad.
There is no "British" food. That's actually wallboard paste molded into little shapes of real food
American fast food is a perversion of traditional dishes, not necessarily native to the US - although they claim they invented the hamburger. Then there's poutine. I don't know if anyone else eats that. 
The only "real" Western Canadian food is at Earls. It's unique to Western an Pacific Canada. They don't have it east of Winnipeg
Actually BC has unique seafood and great ethnic food
I can think of many many flavorful dishes that are local. Smoked salmon comes readily to mind. VERY flavorful, but I doubt the Colonel bothered with it. Moose steak. Can't deny that's got loads of flavor. Perch fresh caught.... MMMmmmm.... very tasty. And I challenge ANYone to eat a slice of my tourtiere and tell me it's bland, boring, flavorless, or not Canadian.
Agreed! They can keep their secret recipe. It is the greasiest food out there and I personally find even the smell of it to be quite revolting.
Anybody ever go to a Ukranian wedding in Edmonton? As far as I'm concerned cabbage rolls are Canadian food. So are Perogies, and so are those little garlic meatballs. My mother was a great Canadian cook. How about ethnic food in the North end of Winnipeg? How about Chinatown in Vancouver? These places have been there for fifty or sixty years. How long does it take to be Canadian? Ordinary restaurant food menus are targeted at American tourist so don't worry about them. Who's Col. Sanders? Who cares?
