KFC has left foodies totally divided after announcing a new ice cream flavor which some have dubbed the ”strangest” ever.
Every now and then, KFC is sure to come up with shocking ideas and collaborations – and this might be the most bizarre of them all.
With summer right around the corner, the fast food giant has partnered with artisanal ice cream makers to transform its iconic gravy into a savory frozen treat to cool off.
Hackney Gelato are known to go for their original flavors, but this is out-there even for them.
The gravy gelato is just that – gelato flavored with KFC’s own gravy.
As they put it, the gravy “features rich notes of peppercorn and, of course, chicken“.
The bizarre combo may sound too gross for some – however, if you’re keen to see whether the savory treat actually works and makes sense, you’ll be in for a disappointment.
According to KFC website, the frozen gravy gelato is not available in the USA – at least for now.
But if you’re planning a trip to the UK or London this spring and summer, you’re in luck, as the new addition will be available online on the KFC shop.
The tub – which comes in red and gold packaging – sells for £5.50 (or $7.30) and all proceeds go to the KFC Youth Foundation, empowering young people across the UK.
It’s available from 15 May from 1pm, so if this sounds a bit like you, make sure to set your alarm.
‘That’s like putting pickles on Crème Brule’
Needless to say, the brand new menu addition has sparked a fierce debate online.
After seeing the news on X – formerly known as Twitter – one social media user cried out in sheer horror.
”what in the actual f**k. That’s like putting pickles on Crème Brule.”
Someone else was just as baffled by the ”strangest” dessert flavor, writing: ”How is this going to work?”
”This can’t possibly be legal,” thought another foodie.
”Wait – is this a leftover April fools joke? Come on! I love ice cream & I love a good white country gravy BUT the two don’t dance together ya’ll!” a fourth commented under the tweet.
”That sounds absolutely disgusting…” someone else penned.
This comes after KFC brought back a beloved menu item after five years.
The Kentucky-based fast food giant announced April 28 that Chicken & Waffles are returning for the first time since 2019.
The crowd-pleaser pairs KFC’s signature fried chicken with thick, golden brown Liège-style waffles.
The pearl sugar waffles are served with a side of sweet Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup.
“We believe Chicken & Waffles is an American icon,” said KFC President Catherine Tan-Gillespie.
“Flavorful, juicy and freshly fried secret recipe chicken, paired with sweet, golden waffles and gooey syrup – it’s bold, it’s delicious, and it’s back on our menu just in time for Mother’s Day!”
