I guess the only way to know is to have a bake off and find out, although I suspect it is the same as adding coke to a premium bourbon. One you throw the mixer in there isn't much difference.

I'm sure somewhere in the world there's a well-run chicken operation that doesn't employ what most would describe as torturous methods and still turn a profit. Has to be, and if so surely the rest can likewise get their shit together.
That said, I am strangely craving a large feed of KFC right now.

I have to ask, is it torture to clip the tail on a doberman? What about the ears? Same thing. To call it torture to cut a chickens beak or to not force him to scratch the dirt for his food is laughable.

Vegetarian does not equal vegan. Vegans are a little over the top . . . as long as it suits them.
