If this napkin is legit, then it presupposes that many knew/know the recipe in order to create the napkin.

While a secret recipe may carry an aura of exclusivity, it is essential to consider the practicalities that surround its creation and implementation. The journey from recipe to plate involves a collaborative effort where various departments play crucial roles.
The procurement team is responsible for sourcing the necessary ingredients and ensuring their availability in the required quantities. Similarly, the production team needs insights into the secret recipe to ensure accurate and efficient manufacturing processes. They require knowledge of ingredient proportions, preparation techniques, and cooking instructions to replicate the desired results consistently.
For the marketing and graphic design department, insights into the recipe - to a certain degree - become necessary to create captivating visuals that communicate the essence of the product. From packaging designs to promotional materials, their expertise relies on understanding the product and the story behind it. I like your phrase "If you don't know what's in it, you don't know what's not in it." I will say this: If you don't know what's in it, you also don't know what you ought to be protecting in the first place?
This might not be an issue nowadays though. There are no more herbs and spices in the recipe, so nothing to hide and protect.

I am starting my own business and I actually have a "secret" cheesecake recipe. I keep asking myself, how long will I actually be able to keep it a secret? Really practically speaking now. Employees will inevitably spot the ingredients, the delivery guy knows what I had ordered too. I would have to do everything by myself, lock the kitchen, the storage room and go and purchase the ingredients all by myself before sunrise in a foreign town wearing a hoodie and shades to fully protect the recipe. Not even possible for a small family business, let alone for a chain like KFC.

@11serbs, on the basis of building upon a base of 200 grams of Flour, how much Star-Anise do you intend to use?

So if as you suggest, many, many KFC employees know the ingredients, then why isn't anyone hunting down these folks to get information? Is it because the original "OR" is long gone? That's the one I'm after, not today's recipe which is mixed by computer controlled machinery. Again, I ain't looking for what is sold today. This napkin has nothing to offer me. If it was intended to reveal what "everyone knows", then why use third grade art work? Probably just to confuse, eh?

@11serbs , on the basis of building upon a base of 200 grams of Flour, how much Star-Anise do you intend to use? I used Ken's ratio first. Went a bit lower then because Star Anise is quite prevalent in his formulation. It just doesn't work for me. My best recipe without Star Anise is far superior. Here is my resume. I think Star Anise only works in some contexts, it will not allow too much competition, no depth, balance or true complexity. Star Anise is too dominant and demands attention, center stage. If you don't comply, it will most likely angrily ruin your dish. Ken had to omit Ginger and almost all his herbs (except Sage) to make Star Anise work. It's not that I didn't like his recipe. I actually did. |

There is nothing left to hunt them down for really. Would have been easier in the earlier days with more insiders proportionally. There also is more anonymity the larger the companies becomes, so we would not be able to identify them I guess. And they are under NDA's anyway. It's not the puppets that surface on tv shows. It is absolutely fine to reject the napkin. I use different ingredients myself. It is a bit silly though if you discuss the vials, tins and trays vigourously for decades but consider the napkin to be utter goof  Could all be fake and confusion. |
