Now if they some sort of straps on the bowl so I could just hang it from my head, horsey feedbag style I might give it a shot, but really, asking me to use a fork to eat my food is just too much.

Heh, I Pix2Fone’d that picture and it looks pretty spiffy as my new wallpaper, thanks Larry Mudd! You rock and stuff…

Gee, thanks. (Now I feel like the five minutes I spent on it weren’t totally wasted…) 
Anyone else hear Katamari music while reading King of Soup’s post back on page 1? Just me? Okay.

I think that’s where Paul Simon got the inspiration for the song, “Mother and Child Reunion”-there was an Asian dish on a menu consisting of chicken and eggs called “Mother and Child Reunion”.
Count me with the crowd who thinks the Famous Bowls sound nauseating. It sounds just a little TOO much. And I’m not exactly the healthiest eater on the planet (I look forward to the days when the hospital cafeteria serves onion rings or fried mozarella sticks, fer crissakes!)
I’m sure that a big mac and fries with a shake has just as many calories, or nearly as many. But somehow, it doesn’t seem quite as rich and heavy as this does.
I remember a fake ad on the onion about Denny’s bucket of meat and eggs. Then one day I say a bowl of meat and eggs on the menu. It looks like life imitating art to me.

Gravy and cheese should not be together.

…and they will most likely agree: “Gravy and cheese should not be together.”
Fresh curds are nice with gravy. Cheese is nasty. That is the law.

I was laughing so hard it was difficult to breath.
had my second one last night. first one I had lunch time, drove from KFC back to work, it was near by. I don’t care for their mashed taters much, but the corn, etc was good, and the crispiness of the chicken was maintained.
last night I stopped by on the way home. I live out in the boonies, so the cheese was all melted by the time I got home.
I highly recommend allowing that to happen. ummmmmm.

Nothing. It’s just that you seem to be the ONLY personon this thread who’s objecting to it on those grounds. Everyone else seems to be like “ewww, how unhealthy,” even though they’ve probably experienced exactly the same thing as devilsknew is saying above.
Ironically, it reminds me vaguely of the same fat hysteria that has people suing McDonalds…
[/QUOTE]
Well, now you’ve hurt my last feeling, Leaper, because I said exactly that …
You never listen to me! 
It sounds like the majority thinks this is a pretty nifty idea, so I guess KFC knows their market. I know most people don’t have an aversion to the different foods on their plate touching, and many in fact like to mesh it all together as they eat. But to start it out that way? I feel faint.
The bowl gets me hungry for chili-cheese fries, actually, or some excellent chili-and-cheese nachos.
But when someone mentioned their ultimate breakfast, it reminded me of the Breakfast of Champions my best friend and I ate when we were in high school.
Take:
2 large chicken breasts
2 boxes Kraft Mac and Cheese
Liberal amounts of Tony Chachere’s Seasoned Salt
Some flour
Serves two.
Oddly enough, even though I can’t manage to finish that meal today, I’m heavier now than I was then.

That story kinda rings a bell. And that’s what I love about that talented little guy, he’s got a great sense of humor!
Really, who else would let Artie walk around with that…hair…for so long?
Just had me a bowl for lunch. Dem boys is tasty.

Tis true. . I read three pages of gooey gravy goodness only to be beat to the post.
The description of this dish reminds me of a Malaysian delicacy called ais kacang. The first word is the English word “ice,” and kacang means either ‘bean’ or ‘peanut’–or both, as you’ll see.
First a bowl gets half filled with crushed ice. On top of that, throw in:
black beans
peanuts
corn niblets
a dark brown jelly (I don’t know what colors or flavors it)
syrup
evaporated milk
until it looks like an exploding volcano.
I personally find it unappealing.
Hey hey hey!
Ice Kachang is the food of the Gods!
There’s red beans, sweetcorn, most probably it was “chin chow” jelly, attap seeds… I can’t remember what else. But it’s PERFECT for blazing tropical days!
…
Come to think of it, Western food doesn’t really have an analogue that I can think of… fruit and nut cake, maybe? That’s a whole lotta stuff mixed together… oh!! Salad! That’s a whole bunch of random crap thrown together and slathered in mayo, you have to admit that if you weren’t used to it it would look mighty strange.

Same here. I like everything in it, and I don’t have an aversion to my food touching, but, but… :eek:
Great googily moogily that bowl looks like the bottom of the trash can after everyone has scraped thier leftovers off thier dinner plates.
I wonder if I can get one with ranch dressing?
The first time I saw the commercial, I thought it was a joke.
I don’t have a problem with a bunch of stuff in a bowl. I like breakfast bowls, and rice bowls. But those things go together. The KFC bowl would be tolerable without the corn and cheese. I like corn and cheese, but not dribbled ontop of my chicken dinner.
