“KFC would like to celebrate the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. by reminding you of our Original Recipe fried chicken, come down and enjoy our 7 herbs and spices on this special day!”
I don’t see how that can go wrong.
It’s my birthday, so I knew about Kristallnacht and the fall of the Berlin Wall, but I didn’t know about 1918.
Here’s the complete list:
Thanks! I found out through my DNA results that I have a small amount of German ancestry I had no idea about before.
Police arrested a legally blind man in Florida after they mistook his cane for a weapon, prompting the sheriff’s office to investigate and temporarily suspend the deputies involved for their behavior.
Somone binge-watched Daredevil the day before…
That was posted a couple days ago in the “cops are assholes and self-admitted tyrants” thread:
Not a thread I follow.
There is a lot of overlap between that thread and this one. Well, a lot more death in the other…
A Jew who keeps kosher wouldn’t be eating at KFC in any event, but even a cultural Jew who was raised by more observant parents might find the meat and cheese combination a little off-putting.
And we, but apparently not God, shall ignore the difficulties of getting chicken milk to make chicken cheese!
I have a problem with that, the whole “kid seethed in its mother’s milk” shouldn’t apply to non-mammalian species, but who can argue with religion? It’s like when for some reason some Catholics decided that beavers were fish so they could eat them on Fridays during lent.
One does have to admire the chutzpah of thinking they could rewrite the rules and God wouldn’t mind at all.
It’s building a fence around the law.
You not only don’t do the prohibited thing; you don’t do anything that’s like the prohibited thing.
It’s actually rather the reverse of deciding that beavers are fish so they can be eaten when meat’s prohibited.
It has always seemed bizarre to me that Jewish people were prohibited from eating vegetarian patties with non-dairy cheese ‘burgers’.
I’d be surprised if there isn’t disagreement on that issue.
(I don’t myself keep kosher, and haven’t been following the details.)
I know Jewish people who enjoy rumaki, shrimp, lobster, bacon… So I think many would see no issue with eating a vegan cheeseburger.
Anybody eating bacon* isn’t keeping kosher at all. So no, they’d have no issue with it.
I’d assumed you were talking about Jewish people who do keep kosher.
*unless it’s the only choice to ward off starvation, or medically necessary, or somebody’s going to get killed otherwise, of course. The first two seem highly unlikely and I would hope the third would also.
This seemed to qualify for this thread.
That is a serious violation of food handling guidelines.
