Samurai Sanders

You've seen him dressed as a maid and now see Colonel Sanders dressed up as a Samurai during the Golden Week holidays here in Tokyo.

His sword looks rather limp though ^^; May be he needs some 2D girl pics to help him straighten it out.

Haruhi, Chicken burger and coleslaw - 1,000 yen.

The view from Kentucky. I take a pic and then realized after that I snapped the "Chinko" from "Pachinko" - "Chinko" means "mans dolphin" in Japanese ^^;;;;;;

The Kentucky menu. While we are on the subject of food, JapanProbe reports on a disturbing subject...
The main restaurant of scandal-hit upmarket chain Senba Kitcho, located in the city’s Chuo Ward, has been serving leftovers to customers almost on a daily basis for more than 20 years, sources close to the restaurant said.
The restaurant’s head chef admitted at a press conference on Friday that the restaurant had been using the leftovers of six dishes, such as sweetfish broiled with salt, since five or six years ago.
But the sources said the restaurant had actually been reusing a wider range of food items, including broiled fish and beef that had been left untouched by customers, by cooking them again and serving them sometimes in boxed meals.
The only bad experience that I remember is when I was at a Korean restaurant in Shin Okubo near Shinjuku. As I was rummaging around the dish, I found a lovely roasted cockroach...
have you been served something nasty or inedible before?

The worm was probably more nutritious than the rest of the sandwich.

Oh yeah! speaking of cockroaches in fastfood..
I remember having my first (and hopefully the last) encounter with one in a fastfood store...
I was at Mcdonalds .. I ordered a Coke float .. cuz I want to win an ipod touch (theres a promo here in the phils) .. and after I drank all of it .. beneath all those coke .. was a cute little kid cockroach ~_~...
hopefully I never drank the cockroach

And nope, I can't say I've encountered any roaches with my meals at fastfood restaurants... yet. :O

Samurai Sanders = Somewhat cool.
I don't think I ever came across nasty food... If I were to discover something like that... Wait. I found a baby slug in some fresh salad that I bought in a little supermarket. I took the leaf out and set the animal free (by throwing it outside, from the window to a little zone with soil).
...
Guh.

Note 1: It was a few years ago when I was still in France.
Note 2: The slug was indeed alive. It was cute and all, but I decided to not make it a pet and returned it to nature (which I hope was clement enough to let it survive).

Here the Colonel doesn't dress up. Though, I have to say it has been awhile since I had some extra crispy or original recipe.

I, unfortunately, have been served bad food before: it was at one of those drive in burger joints. I remember when I was a kid I ordered their cheeseburger along with my family's order.
However, once I got my meal and started biting into it, I bit something hard and crunchy. It tasted awful and it was tearing up my mouth so I spitted it out as soon as possible.
I opened my burger to find a giant piece of dried wall paint sitting with my dressings. I called to my dad about this and we quickly got my burger replaced with a non-paint chip burger. It was bizarre indeed.

Not really.
The worst I can remember was piece of hair in a cake we bought ate the supermarket.

I remember I got sick over two McDonalds burgers giving me very bad stomach flus. I'm trying to avoid McDonalds as much as possible but yesterday I had one of them Chicken Wraps with the meet being rock hard. Also had a mini Chinese restaurant near here giving me a bad stomach ache after finished eating.
As for any plastic mascots nope don't see them much only in Downtown and even then they're hiding.

A lot of folk just have the darndest luck with things, and my thing with luck is I have been fortunate to receive good food service throughout my years.
I won't eat KFC anymore due to their treatment of chickens, and it is the same with the fast food industry as a whole. I ain't a veggy- God I love meat. But the sloppy way of work kind of irritates me, and the food is LOADED with preservatives so I avoid it at all costs.
I will eat Subway ^^. It is delicious.

They don't put Sanders statues out around here. I don't even see Ronald McD figures anymore.
I stoped eatting at KFC a while ago. One particular occation I was the only person in the whole resturant and my order took 20 mins! Plus I think their chicken has too much gristle in it.
Never found out if it was true, but I've heard that KFC genetically modified their stock to produce 4 or 6 wings and other tasty parts. Yuck.

they prolls stopped putting statues out because of thieves and vandals. I remember when I was a teen, we usually did that until they started putting chains on them.

Never seen any colonel Sanders at a KFC in Paris. Nor in L.A too!! I guess this is typically japanese. By the way I've taste a KFC meal during my last trip in japan (only once the rest of the time I was in japanese restaurant) and it's definitely better in America or in France. maybe not enough spicy for me.

Well, being from Brazil you bet I had my share of nasty stuff... including:
Found salad beetles twice on burgers.
Pieces of some blue plastic in the middle of a sausage.
Tons of little maggots on a imported chocolate bar I almost bought in a supermarket... it's been expired for months.
And that's only what I can remember of... I'm pretty shure I have more stories to tell.

I can't say i ever found something inedible in my food roaches or otherwise...thankfully.

cant recall eating fast food with bugs or anything in it. But a friend of mine found a cockroach when he ordered a blizzard from baskin robbins. He took out the main body/abdomen chunks but ate the bits and pieces like the legs and antennas HAHA

Working at a restaurant when I was like 16, I was making salads and I decided to take a handful of cheese. I start to chew, and get a texture of something slightly "tougher" than cheese. I spit it out and discover to my horror that there had been a cigarette butt in the cheese I just ate. Also, I knew someone once whose son worked for a construction company that was union and had a union lunch wagon or whatever you want to call it. He, however, would bring his own drinks and such to work. Well I guess as a kind of retribution, when he ended up buying a half-gallon of iced tea from the union wagon one day, he got sick. He found out later that it was urinated in, and needless to say, since he lives in "the land of the bloated lawsuit", he's a very rich man now.

I'm happy to report i haven't had the displeasure of eating anything in a restaurant. On the other hand I once bit into a raspberry tart that had a worm/bug in it when i was a kid. the sad thing was that it was my aunt who baked the tarts. i still love her cooking though.

Another time I had a baby frog (live) in a dish I bought from a school canteen... (din eat it after I saw it)

As far as I remember I haven't been served some bug in my food. But I remember a friend got a fly in his soup, he got it changed and wasn't charged for the food. But, when he got the new plate of soup he noticed they only took out the fly, because he already added salt and spices before they "supposedly changed it" and it tasted the same. We simply left the place afterwards.

Here in the states they don't have Colonel Sanders statues standing outside, but that would be nice. Also, i notice that KFC is Japan has plain fries......we got potato wedges. KFC in Japan looks healthy.
But in the states, eating KFC is a step closer to death.

Ahaha that is so true eating it brings you closer to death!! I don't know a single person in my area who hasn't gotten upset stomach and other, more severe health problems after eating from KFC. That's probably why they removed it...

http://loli1983.wordpress.com
They removed all KFC locations in New York? Sounds impossible.
KFC should really bring back that old Rotisserie recipe they had in the mid 1990's when they first introduced Mac & Cheese and those BBQ beans. KFC's Rotisserie chicken seemed a lot healthier.
I need to cut back on KFC though, but it's hard when fried chicken is part of my favorite foods. Least chicken is the closest to 'healthy' compared to pork and red meats.

The thing with Kentucky Fried Chicken is: Col. Harlan Sanders literally started the entire national operation when in his sixties.
There's an episode of the old television show "What's My Line?" where he - unmasked and identified - stumps the panel, which couldn't deduce he ran a fried chicken franchise. Try searching for that on the World-Wide Web.
Restaurants with cute mascots outside the building have bitten the dust here in the USA, probably due to vandalism. The last places to have them were the "Big Boy" restaurants. The Jack-In-The-Box clown mascot is only seen in TV commercials.
The KFCs around here have an unpublicized arrangement. If you go to the restaurant within 30 minutes of its closing time for the night, you'll get stupendous deals on foods they will have to otherwise trash when the shop closes.
I did not eat at any U.S.A.-originating fast food places in Tokyo the last time there. I did go to Freshness Burger and MOS Burger though. They were good.

I ordered a Chilidog from one of our local burger stores here, was two bites away from finishing my sandwich, saw a brown stick-like thing sticking out of my chilidog. I yanked it and saw that it was a cockroach's leg. Since I was almost done eating, I didn't know if I ate the rest of the cockroach or it was just the leg that got lost in there.
I still eat at that burger store though ^_^
Oh and I've had my share of worms from fruits. I don't really mind eating them since they grew up in the fruit and are clean.
