Philippians 2
INTRO: Colonel Sanders' nephew, Hollis Johnson, recently revealed what he claims is the secret recipe for KFC chicken. The nephew, Joe Ledington, had it in a handwritten note taken from the colonel's second wife's will, and he claims that his job as a boy was to mix the spice blend in a tub. The famous blend of 11 herbs and spices includes only one real surprise: a ton of white pepper. Ledington told the Chicago Tribune: ''I call that the secret ingredient. Nobody knew what white pepper was. Nobody knew how to use it'' in the 1950s.
Food scientist Dr. Steven Witherly, author of ''Why Humans Like Junk Food,'' thinks that it makes a lot of sense. ''I've had a lot of chefs tell me that the most underappreciated of all spices is white pepper because it has subtle but very strong effects on the sensory system.'' White pepper is the husked form of the more common black pepper. White pepper also has some powerful physiological effects thanks to a compound called piperine. Piperine has been shown to do a wide variety of things, including activating taste receptors to make salt taste saltier and sugar taste sweeter, activating a special receptor in your brain that triggers the release of feel-good endorphins, increasing intestinal water flow and production of digestive enzymes. The upshot is that it could make KFC more addicting. And that's why 12 million people eat KFC every day.
KFC's alleged secret recipe is as follows:
2 cups white flour plus 2/3 tbsp. salt
1/2 tbsp. thyme
1/2 tbsp. basil
1/3 tbsp. oregano
1 tbsp. celery salt
1 tbsp. black pepper
1 tbsp. dried mustard
4 tbsp. paprika
2 tbsp. garlic salt
1 tbsp. ground ginger
3 tbsp. white pepper
Let me talk for a minute about a secret ingredient in the recipe for joy. We're in a sermon series entitled ''Surprised by Joy'' based upon Paul's letter to the Philippians. Paul wrote this ...
