This was inspired by an AV Club column about the KFC Famous Bowl written by Patten Oswalt. He calls it “a failure pile in a sadness bowl.” How could we not be tempted to make a vegan version?
The first photo is the bowl, which contains, in order starting from the bottom:
mashed potatoes (including skins, with soy milk and Earth Balance)
pinto beans and corn (both organic)
sauteed trumpet and shiitake mushrooms with onions (fresh from farmers market)
white gravy (from a mix, plus soy milk)
That actually seems relatively healthy, so we threw on some Fritos for good measure, and enjoyed it with a tasty Belgian beer.
Stay tuned for a future vegan failure pile where we use a battered meat substitute to replicate the chicken fingers in the original KFC dish.
