Teen finds Chicken Organ in KFC, Just Wants his $4 Back

http://fox40.com/2015/02/09/teen-finds-chicken-organ-in-kfc-just-wants-his-4-back/

A Stockton teen finds what he believes is a chicken’s brain in his fast food meal. That teen says he tweeted at KFC in early February for a resolution and says all he wants is his lunch money back.

When you’re a high school student and on a budget, sometimes the only meal that works is fast food. “Just because I do eat there often so I mean coming across something like that is just like wow,” Manuel Cobarubies, a Stockton High School student told FOX40 on Monday.

Cobarubies said he usually stops at KFC on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Stockton. But his $4 set him back more than what he bargained for, “(It looked) like a brain to me. I mean at that point, red flags were kind of raised,” the teen told us.

He explained he found what looked like a brain alongside his chicken breast, thighs and corn. “I ended up spitting it in the trash can because I get grossed out by that,” he said. So the teen did what anyone his age would do – he tweeted at KFC for an explanation.

Just not when you're buying something else. And goddess knows what happened to get that in there, or what's in it, or all sorts of other things.

Ew.

an unfamiliar looking part gets in there. If it had crispy coating around it, he'd have scarfed it down and never known the difference.

Lots of people eat gizzards, liver, kidneys....

Some people like them, some don't.

"Someone"? Eating people is cannibalism.

Why wouldn't we eat lungs? I'd bet they'd be light and airy.

I have watched plenty of cooking shows and travel shows about using the whole animal. None of them ate lungs.

Granted it's been years since I've eaten one. My Mom used to make Rice-a-Roni with gizzards when I was a kid...they are very chewy.

So I went down memory lane in care of Google...



I guess it could very well be a gizzard. The top picture is more of what I remember than the bottom one. I don't know that I would have eaten one if it had looked like the bottom picture.
