Japan Airlines is to begin serving Kentucky Fried Chicken to passengers on some US and European flights for three months next week.

Stop dissing KFC. It's le poulet gourmet ala amerique.

Forget 3 Michelin stars. This will give you 4 Michelin tyres...... around your waist.

Okay, who was the marketing genius who came up with this! I thought the JL brand was being positioned as classy and prestigious.

But then again the Japanese have a different take on everything. I don't know.. maybe the KFC brand is seen as something consistent, popular and hip there

How about some Japanese fast food? MOS Burger or Yoshinoya?

Put Cheesecake Factory on board!

Mos Burger and Yoshinoya are already on JL!
I think it is a good idea.

Yes, very good ideal. I look for KFC when I am on assignement in USA too. They are quite different from those you can find in Singapore.

Best KFC in Asia is in Malaysia.

Oh, I think BKK's can give M'sia a run for its money...

Best KFC in Asia is the one which blast-off orders via delivery service at 2.30 am because Indonesian Idol takes 2 hours to announce who won and we got hungry.

Not so much of a bad idea really. KFC in Asia is, IMO, way better than in the USA. Plus, it is very popular in Japan during Christmas.

Also, given the fact that KFC has been the most popular western food in China, I wonder if CA, CZ, or MU will do this as well.

How well will it work, though? It's not exactly as though they're going to fry the chicken onboard... and friend chicken that's not fresh tends to be just greasy and unpleasant. Maybe they have a secret to bring it back to edibility?

For me there's nothing wrong with introducing KFC on board. Only problem I feel is that so far no airlines had been able to serve hash browns (for breakfast) and french fries/nuggets (for kids meal).

I think it will be rather disgusting to eat warm soggy drumsticks?

Not against the idea, in fact I'll personally be interested to have it on a flight, especially the Zinger burger. But just.. how are they going to prepare it?

[Kyo]

SQ serves hashbrowns for breakfast occassionally (sometimes on top/on the side of eggs), which looks weird but actually has tasted not too bad...
