GOOD NEWS FOR VEGANS AS KFC'S 'IMPOSTER' BURGER WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SALFORD RESTAURANTS FROM THURSDAY 2ND JAN

The New Year brings good news for the ethical & animal lovers out there as from tomorrow (Thursday 2nd Jan) KFC will be rolling out its much lauded meat-free Vegan 'Imposter' Burger which has won over meat-eaters, veggies and vegans alike.

The company trialled its 'Imposter Burger' in some stores over the summer and it was met with much approval with demand being over 500% higher than the company predicted, so as we head into Veganuary (It's a thing) the new seasons spicy offering will be available in both of Salford's KFC restaurants.

Hankinson Way, Salford Shopping City M6 5JP

Ellesmere Centre, Walkden, M28 3ZD

For the first time, the meat-free burger will include the iconic Original Recipe flavour, as created by the Colonel back in 1952.

Vegans denied of the finger-looking goodness can enjoy the famous 11 Original Recipe from 2 January.

The usual chicken breast fillet is replaced with a bespoke Quorn fillet, lovingly coated in the colonels herbs and spices.

It comes served with vegan mayonnaise and crisp iceberg lettuce, all within a soft-glazed bun.

Be warned though as they don't come cheap as the burger is priced at £3.99 and that is without any sides.

Ira Dubinsky, from KFC UK and Ireland, said:

"The Colonel was all about welcoming everyone to his table – now vegans, flexitarians and our fried chicken fans can all enjoy the taste of our Original Recipe together.

"We’ve worked hard to perfect the flavour and make a Vegan Burger the Colonel would be proud of. It’s the flavour of KFC, just with zero chicken."

Dawn Carr, Director of Vegan Corporate Projects at PETA said:

"We are delighted to have played a part in KFC’s journey to bring quick, affordable, vegan options to a new audience.

"There is no doubt this vegan burger will be a huge hit with the skyrocketing numbers of vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians around the UK. Clucking marvellous!"

And as most will be too fat and lazy after the festive season to leave the house, there is good news even for you, it is available exclusively for home delivery via the Just Eat App.
