Remember the Kentucky-Fried Rat Urban Legend?

Well, it's a legend no more. But it's they'll have to change it from PFC to Popeye's. And a smaller member of the rodent family:

Restaurant customer says he found a mouse in his fried chicken.

BALTIMORE -- Baltimore health officials say a patron of a Popeye's restaurant bit into a mouse that had been fried along with the chicken.

Tony Hill says he was eating the second piece of his three-piece meal when he made the unappetizing discovery.

He filed a complaint with the health department.

Officials say that same restaurant has been closed twice before for infestation or unsanitary conditions.

Inspectors checked the place yesterday and didn't find any rodents. But officials say they'll be back.

It was probably just a nutria, they're trying to get people to enjoy eating nutria, since there's such an overpopulation of them

Toretha, I had to look that up - I could have sworn that was the name of a breakfast bar or natural cereal.

Ya have to wonder if they were named with health-conscious marketing in mind? Nutria on a stick, anyone? [Smile]

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, who has seen a nutria would mistake one for a mouse. Trust me. I've seen them.

And if you think I'd eat a giant rat, you are nuts! [Big Grin]
