We knew Christmas was really all about eating, but Japan’s food traditions are a tad different from ours.
Instead of devouring a big old turkey, potatoes and lashings of gravy come Christmas Day, Japanese families will be tucking into the Colonel’s famous fried chicken.
Yep, we mean KFC.
No this isn’t a weird joke, according to KFC an estimated 3.6 million Japanese households will seriously be busy digging into buckets of fried Christmas food.
Rumour has it that the tradition started back in the early 1970s when one KFC employee overheard the conversation of an expat customer.
