KFC is jumping on the meat-free bandwagon, launching a vegan version of its signature crispy chicken burger in the United Kingdom.
The fast food chain is calling its first plant-based offering "The Imposter." The burger, which uses a Quorn fillet and vegan mayo, will be sold at select restaurants for four weeks starting June 17.
Quorn is a meat substitute that gets its protein content from a fermented fungus. KFC describes the burger as "a triumph of deception." source
Quorn originates from the United Kingdom, it's a substitute of meat.
Vegan burger is excellent, I don't see why vegans can't have their own burger. I'm not vegan, occasionally eat meat and also would eat vegan burger. Many of the fast food giants are joining the club, offering vegan burgers to their customers, so I believe this is going to spread worldwide.
The article published by CNN named the burger "Vegan chicken burger", which sounds funny. Looks like people can't use other expressions, it's probably easier to say vegan chicken burger even though it's not.
KFC stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken, so I guess they are going to have their own vegan chicken made of Quorn.
