Guangzhou woman finds live worms in KFC chicken wings - Polidicks

[QUOTE]For those of you who, like us, planned on [URL="http://shanghaiist.com/2014/10/06/cockroach-cup-chengdu-mcdonalds.php"]bopping over to Micky D's for a hot chocolate[/URL] after inhaling a 10-piece chicken wing meal from KFC this evening, we'd like to apologize in advance for (possibly) spoiling your late dinner plans. Yes, it appears that there has been another insect sighting of the fast-food assortment, this time in Guangzhou—and with worms. We're disgusted to report that this instance also went unnoticed until the consumer was halfway through the infested product. Is god punishing us? According to Apple Daily, a woman surnamed Liu ordered some chicken wings from the establishment on Saturday afternoon and saved some as leftovers. Upon returning to her half-eaten feast, she noticed the tiny white worms *squiggling* inside the chicken.[/QUOTE] [url]http://shanghaiist.com/2014/10/06/guangzhou-woman-finds-live-worms-in-kfc-chicken-wings.php[/url] Video in source.

So food services in china are shit. Wasnt planning on going there anyway.

It's Chinese fastfood. Worms are expected, as they are still eating some of them. (Yes, my sense of humour is bad, and I should feel bad)

Restaurants are allowed to stay open even after an unsatisfsctory health inspection - I drank milk tea from one hole in the wall once and as I was leaving I saw they had a 1 star health inspection review notice on the wall.

I worked in a KFC as the cook before. At least here, all chicken is inspected and hand separated / cleaned before prepping them for the deep fryers.

It seems I am extremely lucky, as I am frequent at fastfood restaraunts, and the only incidents were some Coke mishap (it was more water than Cola) and I got someone's else order by a mistake: cheeseburger without everything, but meat and cheese. Never had brains in chicken, or worms, or anything other suspicious.

More protein, it's basically better value for money. Think of the gains! Poor woman though, I can imagine the sinking feeling as you know you've probably eaten a couple.

Yeah but China is also the place that sells synthetic eggs and uses sewage water in the fryers. (not everywhere, but common enough to look out for)

Maybe it was actually just some rice? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdsZnj4-9YM[/media]

China food are mostly fucking disgusting due to the extremely low standards. prime example is gutter oil thats made from raw sewage: [video=youtube;zrv78nG9R04]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrv78nG9R04[/video]

okay, first of all, you can't generalise like that for the most part, anything in the more urbanised areas of china is perfectly fine. there's enough western influence and visitors that anything like this happening would definitely make news of course, as you move further away from the city centres, things get cheaper and lower quality my cousin lives in beijing and is so far away from the city centre it feels like he's living in a fucking shanty town sometimes. on the whole, there are places where shit like this happens but if you do visit china, chances are you're going to go on the tourist route and probably won't encounter any of this. there's a reason for that.

Ever since then I feel queasy whenever I pass by a KFC outlet.

I mean, I should stay away from fast food regardless, but yeah fuck that noise.

wasn't the ice at the chinese kfc dirtier than the toilet water at the very same location

Finding white maggots in the piece you're already eating is just horror story grade material.

KFC do deny this is from their store and blame the woman IIRC

Shit I've found in food in Canada -screws -glass -bugs Shit I've found in food in China -all of the above You can and will find shit in your food from any country but I gotta say, you're going to see a lot more of it in China because of the health standards and guidelines.

I mean, the meat is already on the bone and if you want to get statistical you're probably ingesting tiny amounts of bone shavings as you eat anyway.

I mean that would put a lot of people off their food if they knew it was being done.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;46192854]Sure it wasn't giblets?[/QUOTE] No it was a brain. It's apparently not that rare as sometimes chickens dodge the machine that cuts their heads off.

[QUOTE=Scot;46193058]No it was a brain. It's apparently not that rare as sometimes chickens dodge the machine that cuts their heads off.[/QUOTE] Chicken brains don't grow in the thigh fyi. What you saw was most definitely a piece of kidney. It just has similar texture as brain, but it's not brain. It's completely edible, but sometimes small bits of it are left on the thigh when the piece wasn't trimmed properly.

Because if it worked, I wouldn't be fundamentally opposed to it, personally.
