Its about a tenner for a quarter peri peri chicken and chips (+ refillable drink), reckon twice as much as KFC?

Prices must have gone up unless they vary regionally then.

Dunno about KFC (I hate it) but you can barely get a Meal for £5 in McDonalds so I'd assume BK is £7-8 for a Whopper meal... shame as I actually like BK burgers but refuse to pay that much when I could get a deli sandwich for less money.

Doesn't Nandos cost about the same as KFC? I'm always amazed how much KFC and Burger King cost, more than a restaurant often.

Are you sure you're not looking at Motorway Services prices. I know Burger King and KFC are extortionate there.

At least with KFC you know what you're going to get. Worse is Nandos which tries to make out its a restaurant (but is basically a posh KFC), the prices they charge, for what is fried chicken (and it is all pre-fried - they stick it on the grill to basically just warm it up) and chips, are outrageous!

+1 . I thought it was law that animals were stunned here, I'm fine if people want to eat it on religious grounds - but I don't want to eat it.

Yes Kal it's the same with Kosher, but Kosher doesnt dominate my high street in most restaurants and takeaways (including high street KFC etc)..

It's got nothing to do with islamofascistphobia or whatever.

My turkeys were killed Halal this year. I didn't mean to, but no matter how many times I twatted them with a cricket stump, I couldn't knock the heathen feckers out.

They're just animals.

I thought you were a Christian. Isn't there an aspect of Christianity that has something to do with compassion for animals? Perhaps there isn't.

Do you object to Kosher meat as well as food such as veal or foie gras with equal zeal?

I don't think I was doing anything with zeal but yes.

In fact, I tend to avoid meat unless I know it's locally sourced and the meat has some provenance. The stories I hear about halal meat being offered up to unsuspecting consumers in all kinds of outlets appall me.

To be honest, if you're eating in KFC I'd be more worried about getting a chicken head or foot in my meal rather than how the chickens were killed.

Halal = barbaric. That's why I tend to avoid them.

Yes, I noticed the other day they were selling halal in their Wells branch (that well known hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism).

I shall also be complaining and voting with my feet by shopping elsewhere.

My local Tesco has started selling Halal meat, labelled as such.
I emailed to complain, and they replied that the animals were stunned before slaughter in all cases. Yet on Tesco.com it describes the Halal meat as "stun-free"
