Chay, in Vietnamese,

denotes an item which is vegetarian in the strict, or traditional, sense and does

not include eggs or dairy - as opposed to a lacto-ovo, or western, vegetarian

which does.

The chain is planning to trial a meat-free chicken in the UK by 2019

Vegan KFC

This

development follows the announcement earlier this year that KFC would be

working toward developing an animal-free chicken option - following trends

already picked up by such major fast food chains as A&W and McDonald's.

The chain

will reportedly test run the product in the UK by 2019.
