b'Colonel Harland Sanders\\u2019 image continues to grace the logo of KFC, who continue to sell the chicken inspired by his \\u201811 secret herbs and spices\\u2019. But on 14th March, 1978 the Colonel and the chain\\u2019s owners were at legal loggerheads over his constant criticism of their food.\\nAs KFC franchises were rolled out worldwide, Sanders was highly critical of the innovations made to his recipe - describing the new batter as "a damn fried doughball stuck on some chicken" - and the iteration of his gravy as "God-damned slop".\\nIn this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal the Colonel\\u2019s surprising devotion to swearing; explain how his devotion to quality made him the \\u2018Heston Blumenthal of fried chicken\\u2019; and revisit the debacle of \\u2018Kentucky Roast Beef\\u2019\\u2026\\xa0\\nFurther Reading:\\n\\u2022 \\u2018Kentucky Fried Chicken of Bowling Green, Inc. v.
