Is it a fried rat? L.A. man claims KFC served him breaded rat; KFC says no way

ALos Angeles man ordered fried chicken from a KFC restaurant in Willowbook but instead got a plate of crispy, breaded fried rat, he claims..

Devorise Dixon posted a photo of what he claims is a fried rat on Facebook on Friday, and it has since gone viral. The photo shows a large breaded piece attached to a longer string of fried breading, which could be interpreted to be a rat’s tail.

...

But KFC says Dixon’s claim is a hoax.

His photographs, they say, don’t include a second angle, which “clearly shows it’s a piece of hand-breaded white meat chicken.”

“Based on this, and the fact that he refuses to allow anyone to see the product, we are left to believe that he intended to deceive the public with this hoax and we are considering all options,” KFC said in a statement.

My dad told me of time in his youth (late 1930’s) outside Kansas City where they would go trap muskrats, skin them for the pelts and then take the carcasses downtown and sell them as rabbits.

In the summer of 1977 I got foot poisoning twice, from two different KFC stores, in two different states, over 200 miles apart. Never went back.

Thats only with chicken .
With the Clintooons involved , you have to think 'outside the box' since they aren't conventional.
Do you want fries with that .. ?

Did they skin it and gut it before they cooked it?

Don’t blame you. I got food poising several years ago & I was on my back for weeks & lost 30 pounds. It’s no joke.

I remember the film WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?

Baby Jane (Bette Davis), serving her wheelchair-bound sister (Joan Crawford) lunch, says, “There are rats in the cellar.”

Sister opens lunch tray lid, and guess what she finds.

Guys from the south I served with told of hunting rats and selling them in the darker parts of town as squirrel after skinning them. They said the scam worked until it was demanded they leave the paws on for ID.

No mention if there was an objection to the taste or not.
