    Yumm. xD First. ^^

  2. JohnB says:

    Bet it still tastes like a Lexus!

  3. JohnB says:

    I don’t think the Mexican Chicken chain is yet any threat to Kentucky Fried!

    • Much Glory Hopeful says:

      …or to Donky Fried.

    • buckinarut says:

      Wonder, though, if this might be a new thing on the Kentucky Fried menu, or it’s been there all along. I betcha the Colonel had plenty of horsies on his Kentucky plantation, and he had to do something with the ones that had to put down. Western Kentucky is saturated with horsies, so there would be a huge untapped resource if they haven’t been using this already. Churchill Downs could probably provide the yearly supply necessary for KFC all by its lonesome.

      If Mexican Chicken appears of KFC’s menu, then we all here would be hip to what is going on and refrain from selecting from that part of the menu. And I’d be real suspicious if “chicken burritos” popped up on the menu- I refer back to MGH’s comment.

      • JohnB says:

        Central KY, especially around Lexington, is where the real horse country is. Beautiful, vast, old, valuable horse farms everywhere. Here in western KY, the primary use of farms is to produce corn.

        • buckinarut says:

          Corn to feed the horsies?

          My bad. I should have consulted a map. Put Lexington too far west.

          Were you around when the mayor of Cincinnati crossed the river into Kentucky to go to a “Mustang Ranch” sort of place? He got into trouble because he was bright enough to pay for his entertainment with a check. Mayor’s name was Jerry Springer. Not sure how long ago this was. Reckon I could look this up.

          • JohnB says:

            Yes, my wife has family in that area, so I know it well. No doubt it was Newport he was headed to, capital of sleazy sin in the Cincinnati area. Of course, you know that Jerry went on to fame and fortune as host of perhaps the most insane talk show ever to hit the tube.

            • buckinarut says:

              Who you callin’ insane? You better take it back or I’ll sick my momma on you! If I can figger out which of these here wommans she is! Or maybe she’s that transvestite. Lordy help me, just whut could they have waitin’ backstage for the soo-prize?

      • PoodleGroomer says:

        Chicken dark meat with a big thigh

  4. sopranomom says:

    El-yum-o! :P

  5. JohnB says:

    I wouldn’t have thought Mexicans would horse around with their chickens!

  6. JohnB says:

    This is really kind of fascinating. It’s obviously in some Asian country in which they print “Mexican Chicken” not in Spanish, but in Engrish! What’s up with that???

  7. H3xx says:

    Wait, so all this time Americans have been chicken back riding?

    This changes every thing I knew about the wild west.

  8. someone says:

    “mexican chicken” is actually korean slang for “horse”, because in korea mexicans are perceived as eating a lot of horse meat; the idea being that horse is the equivalent of chicken as the commonest meat in mexico.

    actually I just made all that up. if it’s true i’ll be bloody impressed

    • JohnB says:

      You sounded rather authoritative, which means that if you are currently in higher education, you are well on the way to mastery of the skill of BS, which is absolutely essential in any advanced academic environment. But I tend to doubt Koreans think much about Mexicans, since I don’t think they have too much immigration from there or trade with them. But of course I, too, am just making it up as I go along, so who knows! I am fairly sure that Mexican folks are not nearly as ubiquitous there as they have become most anywhere in the USA. And I doubt Mexicans actually eat that much horse…

      • Chrocs says:

        We don’t eat horse at all, too expensive. We save them for the gullible tourists. On the other hand, we haven’t been harassed for expanding the horsie flu…

    • sopranomom says:

      OOohh… A stand up philosopher! I LOVE you guys! Almost as much as I love chicken/horses.
      Oh! Maybe the chicken had a cold and was horse!

    • asdf says:

      as i was reading this i thought wow my entire family is mexican and they’ve never mentioned horse meat. that was pretty good, fail on my part.

  9. BAW says:

    Did Mexico send any troops to Korea? I don’t remember if they were one of the countries. If so, that might partly explain it.

  10. dr handle says:

    Good grief, have you ever seen two entires (or even two geldings whose brains haven’t caught up with their deficiencies) decide to fight each other? It’s… interesting.

    • JohnB says:

      I still think a horse could take a chicken. I once watched a horse nearly stomp my dog to death, so I’ve seen how they can handle small critters.

      • dr handle says:

        I once saw my horse (who was technically gelded) try to have it off with a nanny goat (who just kept encouraging him). That had to cause me deep and lasting psychological damage, surely, especially since the alleged adults present couldn’t stop laughing for long enough to try to intervene.

        • Droll not Troll says:

          I don’t know much about goats. Are they into butt secks?

        • buckinarut says:

          I thought billies were the real horny ones, but now you tell me the nanny is the ho?

          Were you kept up at night with all the excessive bleating out in the fields? Were all the animals out in the pasture frequently laying down, lighting a menthol, and humming Marvin Gaye tunes? And did nanny make sure everyone practiced safe secks? The rams, no doubt, always wore lambskin….

          • dr handle says:

            The only billy goat I ever encountered was Gary, whom my family babysat over the Christmas holidays (he was the chief lawnmower at the sawmill where my brother worked). He had an unfortunate affection for my mum; every time she went anywhere near him, he’d start to bleat and caper and do that unfortunately fragrant thing that gentleman goats do because presumably they think it makes them irresistable to lady goats. If she was going to take him some peelings from the kitchen, and we asked “Where are you going?” she’d say “Oh, I’m just off for another sexual encounter with Gary, back in a couple of minutes…”

            • buckinarut says:

              Did she come back and light up a menthol?

              Reminds me of what a couple of lady friends of mine told me. They were at just the right point in their cycle, and happened to go to the zoo. The went to the primate house, and when they reached the chimpanzee cage where their physical “state” was detected, all the males got extremely excited, extremely vocal, and all started their alpha male displays. My friends said they got the hell out of their very quickly, and it took a while for them to get over the embarrassment.

              Your mother sounds like a trip. I’m envious- my mother’s side of the family apparently has a lot of Vulcan blood… I stopped going to the reunions, since I just couldn’t stand the liveliness and joviality. Ugh.

              • dr handle says:

                She was, right up until she boycotted my wedding because she didn’t get a big enough starring role – I didn’t mind-read that she wanted a prominent involvement. All my fault, naturally. Frankly, I think the goat was lucky that it didn’t turn into something permanent.

                • PoodleGroomer says:

                  The goat could have been the focal point of the reception, Smoked with couscous, pita, curry and roasted vegetables.

        • PoodleGroomer says:

          Were they laughing at the horse that thought he had something to offer, or the nanny being a size queen.

          • dr handle says:

            Both, I think. I did try to ask what was so funny, but none of the alleged adults present could stop laughing for long enough to answer.

  11. Randall says:

    Just so you guys all know, I am actually studying korean and will be using it in my job as a korean translator obviously but just figured i would point out that the text under the logo reads “normal food store”..

    • JohnB says:

      I’m sorry, I just can’t imagine that a horse product named “Mexican Chicken” would be found in a “normal” food store! Of course, as a psychologist, whenever anyone asks me what “normal” is, I shrug.

  12. Wesley says:

    It’s just a restaurant that serves fried chickens in Korea. There is an actual nationwide chain of fried chicken restaurants that go by the name of ‘Mexicana Chicken’ (http://www.mexicana.co.kr/). The photographed place in question is one of a smaller franchise that carries a more limited offering.

    So why is the chicken ‘Mexican’? Well, most fried chicken chains in Korea have at least two varieties of chicken – just a regular fried chicken and a fried chicken covered in sweet chili sauce. Since the sauce is sort of hot and Mexican foods are sort of hot… you get the connection. The sauced version is the ‘Mexican chicken’, so to speak.

  13. Cowpie says:

    ,,, horses = chicken and chicken = normal. purfevtly logical!

  14. cobrasnakenecktie says:

    I’m so hungry I could eat a Mexican chicken….

  15. Ginawa says:

    In soviet korea you ride chicken… horses ride you :_(

  16. sopranomom says:

    HAHAHAHAHA! Glad I was between sips of coffee! Would have had to clean the computer screen again!

  17. JohnB says:

    Remember, hice is the PLURAL of house. And pneumonia is the pleural of effusion.

  18. Morrigan says:

    And the duck says Moo

  19. scum says:

    Be suspicious of any meat graded “Win, Place, or Show”.

  20. PoodleGroomer says:

    Contribute now for research and finding a possible cure for “Daddy can’t say No to his Perfect Princess Daughter.” Help break the destructive cycle of dance, music, gymnastics, and ice skating lessons. Help recover his dignity lost while waiting at dance troop auditions and cleaning the stables after loading the tack and horses into the trailer for the cross country circuit tour of riding competitions.

  21. buckinarut says:

    Or if you see Oscar Mayer selling any cold cuts labelled “Appaloosa”, “Arabian”, or “Clydesdale”.

    • buckinarut says:

      Though if they label something “Rhode Island Red”, then we go back to the initial confusion. Which could be the whole purpose.

  22. John Henry says:

    makes me mad

  23. Anne says:

    After the Italian Stallion… ^^
