It's Parmigiana, Dickhead.
I hazard a guess a lot of people have seen the latest KFC commercial for their new product, the "Chicken Parmy Burger". Granted, I can't succinctly articulate why, but the fact that they call it a "parmy" burger, and not a parmigiana burger, really boils my fucking blood. Call me a snob if it makes you feel better, but if I don't maintain the rage, who will?

Mate, I'm no chef or anything, but I am pretty sure it can only be called parmagiana if it satisfies certain credentials (like being made in a pub, not KFC...I didn't write the rules), therefore, KFC can call it a parmy burger, regardless of how it sounds or causes you much grief.
Mind you, I don't think the 15 year olds that assemble the grease and cheese that constitutes this burger would know any better if you decided to go on and call it a parmagiana burger instead...
If you order a parmagiana burger will they get confused?
i'll fucken maintain the rage. Have you heard yanks say parmigiana? or Parmesan?
now that makes me choke.

I was at KFC just yesterday looking at the menu and then an actual specemin (not mine) of the culinary delight in question. After overhearing the ad on TV as a "palmy burger", the fist sized lump of crap I saw the person next to me about to eat really did look like it had been involved in a very intensly sweaty game of pass the parcel.
Zinger works for me.
I ain't never heard of no 'Parmigiana'.
I can't even order a wrap at Red Rooster because I forget it's not a Twister. :(
Good blog but every one who knows you knows your only real interest is fiddling with yourself in public... Anything that KFC puts out should be prefixed with "Impacted Bowel" box, burger, wrap special whatever.
