It’s Finger Lickin’… weird.In a move that proves no one is safe from culinary chaos, the Brit branch of fast food giant KFC has created something even the Colonel probably never saw coming and might have politely declined: Gravy Gelato.That’s right. Gravy. As. Ice. Cream. With 11 herbs and spices.Launching exclusively in the UK on May 15, the limited-edition flavour will be available through the online KFC Shop for £5.50 ($10) a tub..In a press release, KFC says the frozen Frankenstein blends peppercorn, herbs, and actual KFC gravy into a creamy brown rice milk base. It’s described as “umami, herby, savoury… rich but creamy,” which means it’s suitable for vegan diets.All proceeds go to the KFC Youth Foundation, which supports young people across the UK. So even if it tastes like a ‘regret smoothie’, connoisseurs and doubters alike can at least comfort in supporting a worthy cause.The ‘delicacy’ is being crafted by Brit-beloved Hackney Gelato, which is known for such flavour concoctions as Avocado & Bacon, Smoked Salmon & Chive and Wild Garlic Cream with Horseradish — meaning they’re no strangers to stretching the limits of both sanity and refrigeration..According to the company’s website, Hackney fuses the traditional methods of Italian gelato-making with the “bold flavours” of the London food scene — namely traditional Sunday roasts.When Hackney’s Michelin-starred co-founder — who goes by the single-name monicker ‘Enrico’ — was first approached about making the savoury sorbet, he rightly thought he was being pranked.“We are Italian Born, London Raised. But this? This is more like Kentucky meets Catania, with a connecting flight somewhere near Camden.”KFC suggests you let it sit out for 15 minutes before eating. Presumably so you have time to reconsider your life choices..The Twittersphere (“X”) is already divided, with some users calling it a taste sensation or “a war crime in a tub.”Gravy Gelato is strictly limited edition – once it’s gone, it’s gone. KFC fans, food adventurers, and brave masochists are encouraged to grab a tub before the UK eats itself into a savoury coma.Serve it with waffles, smother it on chicken, or bring it to your next Sunday roast to alienate your in-laws.Because in 2025, we no longer ask if ‘we should’ – only if ‘we can’.
