I miss chicken. Ever since I stopped eating meat (except fish, which I don’t even really like) last year I’ve found the toughest thing to replace was chicken. Not because I enjoyed it more than any other meat — I believe that distinction would go to sausage — but because it was such a big part of my diet. I ate it in salad, I ate it in burger form, I liked it stir-fried, barbecued and on pizza. So I miss it.

Recently I’ve discovered that veggie faux-chicken burgers taste just like the cheap-ass chicken burgers I used to get from the canteen in my university dorm, which is great for sentimental value, but they’re nothing like the real chicken burgers I used to get.

So I’m both excited and horrified that the new KFC unchicken burger is, apparently, fantastic. Even PETA thinks so, for chrissakes. PETA, by the way, seems to be relatively ok with KFC now that (in Canada, anyway) the chickens are killed much more humanely, but still…I wouldn’t have expected love for any of the greasy crow’s foodstuffs.

I want to try one, but I think the general ambient smell inside a KFC would make me vom. What to do?
