food restaurant KFC after her young step-son was served a hand towel battered
and deep-fried along with boneless chicken meat.

Not even the
original herbs and spices could cover the unmistakable flavor and texture of a
batter-fried hand towel. A clean hand towel would be bad enough, but this
not-so-tender, juicy fillet of fabric was most likely filthy as well.
Twenty-nine-year-old
Krystal Henderson was with her young step-son, Oliver Hallam, at a KFC
restaurant in the UK when little Oliver bit into a real shocker. What Oliver
thought would be a tender slice of boneless, all-white meat chicken turned out
to be a soiled hand towel covered in the thick KFC batter and fried to a crisp.
It was not even white—it was blue.
At first,
Henderson, a nursery nurse from Gosforth, Newcastle, thought the chicken had spoiled
since the “meat” had a blue tinge. Upon further inspection, she ascertained
that it was a towel.
“When he bit
into it, it was rock hard. He pulled it out of his mouth and when he did, it
pulled away the batter – you could see the blue roll inside,” Henderson told
the Daily Mail. “To give that to a child, I felt so guilty even though it wasn’t
my fault. For a child to bite into that is horrendous.”
Henderson
complained to restaurant staff who offered nothing but a phone number.
Corporate customer service gave Henderson a free meal, a consolation she has no
plan to redeem.
