APAD: Finger licking good

Meaning:

    Excellent - especially of food. Known primarily as the slogan of the KFC

    food chain.

 

Background:

   This advertising slogan of KFC (previously Kentucky Fried Chicken) has proved

   highly successful and long-lasting. KFC was founded by Harland David Sanders,

   better known as Colonel Sanders (and, to paraphrase The Simpsons, `not a real

   colonel').

 

   Clearly, the allusion in the slogan is to the fact that KFC products are

   normally eaten without the aid of a knife and fork.

 

   A friend told me that when he visited Quebec he saw a KFC sign claiming that

   their products were `finger lickin bon'. I live in hope that this is true.

It was a great turn-out on our gym's two-year anniversary open-mat, potluck, and

BBQ on Saturday. I left the kimonos at home and bypassed a huge mat full of

fighting jiuji-deiros and made straight for the food.

 

While two chefs were busy salting and sizzling slabs of beef on the grill,

home-made ethnic cuisines such as SPAM Onigiri and avacado-tuna gimbap shared

the table with the American party classics: club sandwiches, fried chicken,

pizzas, desserts, etc. Andreas brought empanadas, baked XL-sized potstickers

filled with ground beef, olive, and peppers, and Darren laid out the bowls for a

Hawaiian-Japanese dish with chunks of raw fish (tuna or salmon) in creamy sauce

over rice. All tasty and finger licking good.
