Since when is a new KFC item a bad thing!? 

Customers say they're confused after the restaurant (obvs famous for its fried chicken) launched a limited edition pork burger.

The Kentucky Pulled Pork Burger which contains pulled pork, coleslaw and barbecue sauce on a brioche bun is available across restaurants in Australia for the next four weeks.

But it doesn't quite seem to be going down a treat.

"We have a popular core menu but we also know customers want to try something different every so often," a spokeswoman told news.com.au. She confirmed it's the first time pork has appeared on KFC menus in Australia.

"The Kentucky Pulled Pork Burger is something completely different to what most people will expect from KFC," she said.

"We are very proud of our southern heritage and this is why we have branched out from our chicken into another favourite from the region."

According to a KFC spokesperson for New Zealand, the burger's arrival here will depend on how it's received across the ditch.

"As with all international product innovations we are closely monitoring public opinion and social media to see how the Kentucky Pulled Pork Burger is received in Australia. Depending on this, we could potentially introduce the burger onto the New Zealand menu."

But some customers are unhappy, sharing their disgust on social media.

“All I have to say I’m done with you KFC. Since when pork is chicken? This has put me in a situation that I won’t go to KFC anymore if u are going to sell pork at your store …” wrote one man on Facebook.

Another user, posted the below picture on Facebook, showing what the burger looked like for them. "The brand new Kentucky pulled pork burger ... we got too [sic] thinking they looked filling and great until we got it ... funny how it looks great in the photos but this is ours," they wrote.

A second user on Instagram said this was what they got:

The comments on KFC's Instagram page seem to be equally unflattering.

"What the f*** pork at KFC?" wrote one person. Others said "WHAT THE HECK KFC", "wtf is this??" and "that's not chicken".

Hmmmmm we'll hold our judgement until we can try this ourselves (possibly in NZ soon!?)
