That's what people eat at Christmas all over the world

You've probably heard that Christmas food can be very different around the world. While in Germany a juicy goose is traditionally served, in other countries there are completely different delicacies on the festive table.

In France, for example, it is customary to enjoy a sumptuous seafood dinner on Christmas Eve. From oysters to lobster to scallops, everything the sea has to offer can be found here. A perfect alternative for those who don't necessarily want to eat meat.

In Japan, too, Christmas dinner is celebrated very differently than here. Here's a portion of Kentucky Fried Chicken on the table on Christmas Eve. Sounds crazy, but it's actually like that! The American fast food chain launched an advertising campaign in the 70s promoting KFC as the perfect Christmas meal. Since then, the tradition has established itself and the Japanese are queuing in front of the KFC branches.

In Italy, it is customary to serve a variety of fish dishes on Christmas Eve. From fried octopus to swordfish cooked in wine, there's plenty to explore here. It is often eaten in large family groups, which makes the feast a real community experience.

Christmas dinner around the world is a wonderful way to explore new tastes and cultures. Try something new and be inspired by the culinary traditions of other countries. You might be surprised how delicious Christmas can be in other parts of the world!
