KFC will be introducing edible bowls for one its bestselling rice-based meals at certain trial branches in India in a bid to reduce the use of plastic, British daily, the Telegraph reported.
The new packaging will be made of tortilla to replace plastic bowls for the American food chain’s famed “Rice Bowlz.”
Considered as one of KFC India's best-selling items, the “Rice Bowlz” - made from rice, chicken and gravy - contribute to approximately 6% of the chain’s domestic revenues, the newspaper added.
Dubbed as "India-first innovation," Rahul Shinde, managing director of KFC India, said the idea could expand to other items on the menu depending on feedback from customers.
"We will not charge more for our edible bowls," Shinde told the Telegraph.
"We will wait for consumer response and depending on the pace of adoption, we may roll the concept out to other items on our menu."
The edible tortilla bowls will be tested at KFC outlets in Bangalore, a city in southern India where the local government has recently banned plastic, for a trial period beginning April 28.
KFC introduced edible coffee cups last year in the UK.
HA! We’ve been doing this for decades. Taco bowls?
Crazy, but the KFC near me resembles India.
It mostly lacks the begging amputee children, but it’s got the filth of a thousand KFCs.
Last time I went into a KFC I thought I was going to be murdered as part of a gang initiation.
The Church’s Chicken locations around here are mostly Pakistani. They do have good fried okra.
How about edible fingers? Then they could say they’re finger lickin’ good.
Somewhere I’ve got a snapshot of the vegetarian section of the menu at a McDonald’s in India. Should also have taken one of a sandwich they sell in Brazil called the “McNifico”. It’s kind of sad that when all is said and done the world won’t remember America for liberty, juman flight, the moon landings, or D-Day. Instead we’ll be famous for burnt ground beef on a bun, sugared soda water, and pressure cooked fried chicken.
Sounds like a fun time. Did you win anything?
Human flight, too.
Edible spoons:
Ooops, I am velly solly . . .
The prize I left with was my life!
While yes, we’ve had taco bowls for decades..

They will have to put the edible bowls in paper wrapping to keep it “clean”
Taco salad bowls is exactly what I thought of. They’ve been around forever.
Eh, meh. What that entire subcontinent needs is a quality edible loincloth.
On really hot days, it makes it’s own gravy!

Our music and clothing as well.
Lots'a curry?
