NO KFC? NO PROBLEM. VEGAN FRIED CHICKEN FROM EDINBURGH BURGER JOINT NABS PETA AWARD FOR BEST IN THE UK

‘Bread Meats Bread’ Earns Top 10 Spot for Delicious Cruelty-Free Fare

Edinburgh – In the wake of KFC’s chicken “crisis”, PETA has finalised its list of the top 10 places to find vegan fried chicken in the UK, and Edinburgh eatery Bread Meats Bread has nabbed a spot for its scrumptious spiced fried “chick’n” burgers. Its offering includes four different homemade seitan burgers fried in vegan buttermilk and served with mouth-watering toppings such as vegan Sriracha mayo, “mheat” rashers, and gooey dairy-free cheese.

“The plant-based chicken at Bread Meats Bread delivers huge flavour with zero cruelty,” says PETA Director of Vegan Corporate Projects Dawn Carr. “PETA’s top 10 list will help those turned away from KFC to get their fried ‘chicken’ fix without the battered flesh of dead birds.”

PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat” – notes that chickens are smart, social, and sensitive animals who love their families and value their own lives. Those raised for their flesh on factory farms are routinely fed antibiotics and bred to grow so large that their legs often collapse under their own body weight. At the abattoir, they’re shackled upside down, their throats are slit, and they’re scalded in defeathering tanks – sometimes while still conscious.

Every person who goes vegan not only spares more than 100 animals a year profound suffering and a terrifying death but also reduces his or her risk of suffering from heart attacks, obesity, diabetes, and numerous other ailments. And a report from the United Nations found that a global switch to vegan eating is necessary to combat the very worst effects of climate change.

Bread Meats Bread will receive a framed award. Rounding out PETA’s list are Not Dogs in Birmingham, Seitan’s Grill in Cheltenham, Earth in Hampshire, Vegan Fried Chicken in Leeds, The Caledonia in Liverpool, Temple of Seitan in London, V-Rev in Manchester, Happy Friday Kitchen in Oxford, and Burger Lolz in Sheffield.
