Fast food giant Kentucky Fried Chicken is to launch a halal-only menu in eight of its London stores in a move which could be extended to other areas of the UK.
The menu, which will form part of a trial, will see the stores selling chicken products which have been fully approved by the Halal Food Authority for the first time.
KFC has 720 stores across the UK, and bosses said the move was designed to ensure the company was catering to a broader range of customers, following a growing demand for halal products.
It is the latest fast food chain to introduce a halal-only menu after Domino's launched one at a Birmingham store in February.
From this week, KFC bargain buckets, crispy strips and family feasts bought in certain outlets serving high Muslim populations will all have the halal-approved stamp.
The fast-food chain has so far converted eight of its London restaurants to sell the meat, in areas including Forest Gate, West Ham, Tottenham and Bethnal Green.
The chosen branches, which also include those in Beckton, Leyton, Edmonton and Hounslow, will have a logo on the door telling visitors that all food served has been fully approved by the Halal Food Authority (HFA).
As Muslims cannot eat pork, the Halal branches have removed the Big Daddy burger from the menu as it contains bacon.
KFC's scheme will be trialled over the summer, but if it proves a success dozens more branches across the country are expected to follow suit and become halal-only.

Will there be one across from the WH in case Bammy wants a quick meal?
Will the family dinner now come with a free Ginsu knife?
What the hell is a Halal?
Kind of like Jewish kosher.
They cut it’s throat to kill the animal though.
The easiest answer would be the Muslim equivalent of being certified Kosher. If anyone cares to go into more detail the can but that's the quick answer.
A shochet cuts the throat of the animal in Jewish culture too.
Like just about everything else in islam, it’s a retarded bastardization of Jewish law.
That was my take. You can’t blame KFC—or any other corporation. Corporations are neutral entities in that they need to serve their customers if they are to survive. If the customer base is changing, its the fault of the politicians for letting it happen. Millions of English warriors must be spinning in their graves as their country is slowly being surrendered without a shot.
thanks, that's a good explanation for it.
So, I guess pork rinds won't be on the menu.
Reason enough to put KFC on our “don’t go there” restaurant list.
bttt
Last time I ever eat KFC...ever...

I was taking a look at the craters on the Nevada Test Site, and locating the "Ranier Mesa" where Gerald Schroeder starts off his book, Genesis and the Big Bang".
While I was there, I decided to pan northeastward and take a look at Groom Lake, with its big runway -- and Area 51 -- on its west end.
And, then, I panned up to the north, looking for Rachel, Nevada (home of the "Lil' Ale-Inn" -- hangout for the UFO-chasing wierdos). When I zoomed in on Rachel, I got a big surprise: Somebody has smoothed off a bigger-than-football-field sized patch of desert -- and painted a huge portrait of Colonel Sanders -- visible only from a plane or satellite (as in Google Earth/Maps)!
It's really there -- you can zoom out, and it stays right in place...
See for yourself: go to http://maps.google.com/, and search for "Rachel, Nevada"...

Somebody in KFC Marketing/Advertising deserves a big "cleverness" bonus for that one. However, I hope it doesn't catch on, and folks start scrawling ads on the ground at all sorts of popular "Google Earth hot-spots"... :-(
If a Muslim contacts the swine flu, does he get his head cut off and does he lose the virgins waiting for him
They'd just call it the "Infidel Flu" and blame it on the CIA.
WTF?
Have NEVER eaten in a kfc. And never will either.

Happened just the way I described it; I got tired of roaming around on Google Maps, came to FR, and the top thread was this one. I would have ignored it -- except I'd just run across that Col. Sanders wierdness out in the Nevada desert -- on the "Extraterrestrial Highway", no less.
I have zero connection with KFC -- and seldom even eat their chicken.
Just thought that it was a strange coincidence...
