So I went to KFC.... (gross topic ahead)

[Dastardly]

...

Didn't perhaps have the livers did you? I had this happen to me when I was like 11... but never again. Happens, man.

Sorry to hear about your food poisoning. My friend's been through that sort of thing twice now, both from Rally's/Checkers.

All I can say is that you should never be complacent if you food tastes odd, especially with fast food. With the amount of short-order production that goes on in a fast food kitchen, mistakes are bound to happen. If something tastes weird, aside from just being of low quality, take it back. If your food is expired or undercooked, they typically replace it with a fresh batch or they'll give you a refund.

Don't ever keep eating if you're not sure about the taste. Politely send it back and the restaurant will typically make sure you leave satisfied.

Eat KFC once, condemn it forever because you had bad food poisoning.

FUCK YEA!

Would you 'vow never to eat from the sea again' if you ate some muscles and had the same reaction?

Heh.

There is some truth in this. I've been eating relatively healthy for a long while now, and on the odd occasion that I eat fast food I genuinely do feel like shit immediately. Nothing as bad as OP describes, but I've gotten as little as 2 bites into a battered sausage my friend insisted I try and physically had to stop because it was reeking havoc with my insides.

GAH! That is gross, yeah. That's never happened to me, but if you are wanting to try fast food for the first time, go for something a bit less deep-fried, yeah. I eat at a fast food place everyday, (better than my school's food) but, since I'm used to it, I'm still alive.

Geez man... that is ROUGH.

Can't say that I've ever experienced anything that bad, but in college I had a weird little stomach thing going on for a while. For a time, I was having a weekly occurrence where I would experience severe nausea, throw up once (and only once), and then be fine minutes/hours later.

To this day, I'm still not completely sure what was causing it, but the most plausible theory I have was poor dishwashing practices among my roommates in my four-bedroom apartment.

I know, right? Just impossible to imagine that 3 out of 4 college-age man-children would suck at washing their own damn dishes.

The reason I say this is because after I started exclusively using disposable tableware (plastic utensils and paper plates) and only cooked using pots/pans/etc. that I had cleaned myself, the bouts of nausea/vomiting stopped happening. Can't argue with results.

I've eaten in KFC but I don't like it, the only good thing about that place it's the biscuits.

Although I've never received food poisoning, mom had a bad experience in one. We were having lunch in an arab restaurant and mom ordered her usual dish. Although this time it came with a cockroach on it.
So we camly complained and mom got another dish for free... nah just joking, they took the dish back to the kitchen, "change" it and charged us. Full price too.

I've been eating KFC for over a decade now and never gotten food poisoning. Never gotten food poisoning at all in my life actually...which is strange considering the number of times I've taken a bite out of something cooked in the oven only to discover that it's still practically frozen in the middle.

Good immune system I guess.

This brings to mind a principle of infection that I heard about a while back. The general idea is that there's a threshold of dangerous bacteria that your body can tolerate; you have to get a certain population level inside you before they'll actually wind up making you seriously ill.

In other words, good thing you only took a bite of that partially-frozen thing.

By eating healthy do you mean eating nothing that casts a shadow?

Because I could imagine switching to a sausage from regimented diet of bean paste and air muffins would upset your stomach.

If you mean healthy as in an actual balanced diet, then unless this was a sausage fried in ipecac, I don't see why it'd mess you around so much.

I'm no kind of vegan, I just eat well.

If you want an educated explanation as to what was happening...I have none. It could be something akin to when you go on holiday and the local cuisine wrecks you. There could be absolutely nothing wrong with the food, but you might suffer just because it's not what you're used to.

Maybe it was more psychological than anything else, I don't see how a few bites of something would effect you like that. Even if you hadn't eaten it before.

Me and a friend once bought an entire black pudding from a meat stall and sat on a swing eating it raw.

We'd certainly never done that before but our stomachs didn't pay for it.

That's pretty revolting.

Tolerances seem to be different from person to person. For instance, spicy food doesn't monkey with me, but greasy food does. Go figure...

I am fairly certain it's not psychological though, at least not on my part.

 

[Nyaoku]

I was raised on the stuff so I guess I've built up a resistance. It's nowhere near as bad as when my parents let meat thaw out for over a day before deciding to cook it. >.>

I honestly love KFC - it's probably my favourite fast food restaurant. Being a student living with very little sense of how to look after myself I practically live on fast food though. The only bad experiences I've had with them are the ones that aren't big names and just local crappy takeaways.

There's a place called 'Pronto's Pizza' that's rather popular around my end - £9.00 for an eighteen-inch pizza! It's food for house parties and lazy people but it tastes pretty good. Unfortunately it's also renowned for having a symptom coined "Pronto's Piles". It doesn't take much imagination to guess what that entails, it's not very pleasant.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Yep... happened a couple of years ago...

...at a KFC...

...can't even walk past the damn place anymore!

 

[Granny Smith 07]

I hate KFC man, I've never had food poisoning like you had, I just hate their food and their service has always been horrible where I live, I don't eat there anymore

I once had been forced into the bathroom for a short while after eating a chicken wrap at Wendy's. I don't know if it was even the chicken itself or something completely different, but fortunately for me one long outing in the bathroom cleared my system. And almost completely put me off fast food chicken for the rest of my life.

I'm glad I got a very minor case in comparison to some of these horror stories. I got a nice warning to never ever ever choose that kind of stuff again. I almost get nauseous every time someone around me eats a spicy chicken wrap now..
