Kentucky Fried Chicken Sizzles in Fallujah

Quote
Only a short time ago the city of Fallujah served as stronghold for insurgents. Daily skirmishes, improvised explosive device detonations and public unease made operating a business in the city very difficult.

Today, with improved security throughout the region, the low price of 4,000 dinar, or $3.50, will purchase a full meal at the recently established Kentucky Fried Chicken in the Hey Al Dubat area of the city.

The KFC is the first to open for business in the city. Before improved conditions in the city, insurgents threatened business owners, demanding money to support acts of terrorism.

After a quick visit to the Fallujah Business Center during routine operations July 16, Marines with Regimental Combat Team 1’s Security Platoon and with Information Operations, talked with employees at the franchise to evaluate its success.

“We stopped to check up on the KFC to see how things were going,” said 1st Lt. Michael C. Bryant, platoon commander with Battery M, 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, RCT 1. ”You can tell that the area is returning to normal, especially when you see fast food places in the area doing so well.”

Cool stuff.  :cheersmate:

That's good to hear, but I wonder if they are changing their cuisine any there in Iraq.

It would work with Cuba, too, but the dynamics of the Cuban expat vote in Florida prevent either US party from moving forward with an intelligent course of action to re-open trade with them.

Just let it slip that those tasty, finger-licking good pieces of chicken were deep fried to perfection...

...in pork lard. 

Ought to be all you need to get the "muslim street" rollin' like a tsunami.

Northern parts of Iraq have been doing a booming vacation/resort business for a couple of years now. Large hotels with lush lawns and pools.

Pretty sure chicken is halal.  Whether deep-fried in a pressure cooker is, is a completely different argument.

I'm pretty sure the oil that KFC uses for frying is vegetable oil.  Thats what we used at Taco Bell, and their both owned by the same company.

 :censored:

We can't even get a f'n KFC in Evans, Ga., damnit!

Oh and CH? It's an American company. They're going to cater to the customer. No pork lard will be used.

Also, I wonder how many soldiers are eating alongside the previously-oppressed Iraqis?  :-)

This is great news. It will be Iraqi-ran, employ Iraqis, bring money into the Iraqi community, and feed Iraqis.
