11 Herbs and Spices or the recipe for Coca-Cola?

If the good lord came down from heaven and granted you knowledge of what the 11 Herbs and Spice for Kentucky Fried Chicken are or the recipe for Coca Cola, which would you go with? These are big time trade secrets and the recipes add up to traditional, delectable American cuisine.

And with the coke recipe I'm talking about the pre-newcoke recipe and not so much the current version with the HFCS.

I belive the secret ingredient in KFC Chicken is MSG, and the big secret in Coke is lots and lots of sugar.

And the chef did come down from the mountain...


And he was bearing the word of god (just call him the colonel)...

Colonel Sanders' Secret Herbs and Spices recipe
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 tablespoon oregano leaves
1 tablespoon powdered sage
1 tablespoon powdered ginger
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons dry minced parsley
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons onion salt
2 tablespoons powdered chicken bouillon
1 package Lipton Tomato Cup-a-Soup mix

Place all ingredients in blender with on/off speed for 3 to 4 minutes to pulverize, or rub through a fine strainer. Store in an airtight container so it will not lose potency.

Makes about 3/4 cup.

To use with flour, add 1 ounce mix to 1 cup of flour for coating chicken.

Now be sure to send your check to the following address because the colonel needs a new henhouse...

i believe the original formula for Coca-Cola, was cocaine, kola nuts and sugar. That was back before the good food and drug act of 1906. Nowadays Coca Cola has neither cocaine or kola nuts, and up until the mid seventees, sugar. Now all sodas are high fructose corn syrup.

Banning trace signatures, you are entirely inaccurate. Allowing trace signatures, even Aquafina contains trace amounts of everything.

KFC kicks ass. It's like eating corn on the cob. Libs hate it when you eat chicken. They hate it when indigenous people eat their native food and then fail to acknowledge the INDIGINEOUS contribution to their self-righteous cause.

lol

LMAO


Worship our guilty WHITE SOULS!

I hate to tell you but high fructose corn syrup is just a fancy way of saying that they still load up coke with sugar. At 120 calories per can and all of that simple sugar carbohydrates, you can bet your ass that each can of regular coke has 30 grams of sugar per can. Hence why I don't drink it, don't touch it. Even Diet Coke makes my stomach rot. Therefore, once in a while, I endulge and enjoy the Colonel's fine chicken.

I always laugh when I think of the Buck Brown cartoon I saw in Playboy many years ago that shows two cops carrying a worried/confused looking Harland Sanders out of his restaurant over the caption:

"We just found out what those eleven secret herbs and spices were!"

:lol:

The Colonel gets my vote (Though I tend to lean more towards S. Truett Cathy's recipe at Chick-fil-A).

Dont forget MSG. Its in KFC and its what gives the other herbs such zing and the occasional gastric upset.

Well I may actually know the Colonels secret someday, my grandmother worked for him in his first resturaunt and she knows but has never told, I met the colonel when I was 6yrs old. And yep he looked just like the pictures, white suit and all.

Legend has it that any felon that's worked the kitchen of a Kentucky state pen knows the "secret". It's said to be an institutional recipe garnered from an ex-con that worked at one of Sander's early family resteraunts.

I've known people that met Sanders, who was an avid railroad buff. They said he was very cantankerous and hard to get along with, but they welcomed him to the excursions because he always brought along a truckload of chicken and taters to feed the entire trainload of passengers.

Sanders was also one of the American business icons who stuck his foot in it with the well known caveat of "If you're so smart..." uttered to one of his managers. He said these words to R. David Thomas who then quit and started his own shop. For several years afterwards, Sanders would call Thomas and complain about how Pepsico (Who bought the KFC chain from Sanders) was screwing with his formula.

Thomas had other things to think about, though, controlling the national resteraunt chain that he named after his daughter, Wendy.

I heard it was a woman that worked for him. Who ever it was I'm sure got way less for it than it was worth :wink:

Alright! Thread going beautifully. Colonel Sanders stories and everything!

And my beloved Coca Cola is in the lead!

Bassman, its ok, you can tell me without any regret! :) I just remember reading something about how they came up with high fructose corn syrup, which i already knew was sugar anyway, and started using it in sodas sometime around 1975. As for diet cokes and aspartames, i also read somewhere that when aspartame reaches a temperature of 86 degrees ( or ingested in the body) it breaks down into methanol (wood alchohol), which converts to formaldehyde and is stored in your organs and tissue as such. So they have been linking extremely small doses of formaldehyde in the body to all sorts of degenerative brain diseases, depression and anxiety, and not to mention permanent genetic damage to heavy diet soda drinkers, and nutrasweet users, not to mention smokers. :)

So if you ask me, i would much rather be drinking the high fructose corn syrup than poisining myself with formaldehyde!

The last time i ever ate KFC was sometime in the fall of 1984. I don't know why i can remeber that.

Thanks for the reply. You sound very knowledgeable.

I too read a great deal about nutritional values and certain substances and what it is speculated that they can cause. And it's amazing how the wording can get people believing. I watch out for phrases such as 'could lead to', 'may contribute to', 'might be linked to', etc.

It's wording such as this that can lead people to believe that things are what they are not. Hence the debate over artificial sweeteners. I'd be quite amazed if something was proven to be toxic or permanently damaging that it would be still on the market. In other words, if a medical report was released that stated artificial sweetener, without a doubt, caused brain damage or leads to cancer, then I think it's contents would be pulled from the shelves.

So, with that in mind, it makes you wonder why we hear all of this negative publicity about aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. It must be coming from a source that is losing money because of them. You guessed it, the sugar companies. Quite pissed at the fact that they are now losing billions of dollars, they have no way to defend themselves excpet knock sweeteners down a peg. We know how sugar can relate to obesity and diabetes. This is a fact, unlike propaganda.

Once the day comes that negative facts are released on sweeteners, I too will take note. But until that time, I will avoid sugar to keep my waistline trim and avoid diabetes.
