For Real, How Delicious Do Methuen Public Schools' "KKK Chicken" Look?l


METHUEN (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A lunch menu typo caused a bit of controversy in Methuen schools. About 6,500 students in four elementary schools got menus on Monday for the month of March. One entry reads "KKK Chicken." The superintendent told the Eagle Tribune the menu was supposed to read "KK Chicken Tenders" short for Krispy and Krunchy, spelled with a K. She called the typo unfortunate and apologized.

For real? Are those the actual nuggets in question? Because I'll tell you, I'm a product of Methuen Public schools, and they sure as shit weren't serving anything like those gourmet looking, crispy, golden beauty's. Our nuggets were rubbery, barely unfrozen, and mostly bread...didn't stop me from usually ordering two servings on nugget day, but still, they sucked. So if these nuggets here are the actually nuggets in question, I'd say school officials can call them whatever they want and I'd still scarf them down. 

In fairness, maybe the KKK was a bit too blunt and frankly, offensive. You're a school system, your job is to educate, maybe go with something a little more subtle that the kids can learn a history lesson from..."Maybe Uncle Tom's Crispy Chicken", or "Nat Turners Tenders," that has a pretty good ring to it and it's educational.
