Today was the kyuushoku centre’s attempt at a Christmas meal. I’m not sure exactly why, (I think KFC is just cashing in on the sheer chance that Colonel Sanders looks like Santa Claus) but fried chicken is the official Japanese Christmas food. Tell any Japanese person that you’ve never heard of this before and be prepared for an “ehhhhhh???” to deafen a small child. Along with the fried chicken, a Christmas cake is the proper Japanese Christmas dessert. The Christmas cakes sold here are usually something like sponge cake with whipped cream and strawberries on top. The closest thing we have in America I guess is fruitcake, but this is more of a joke and used to prop a window rather than a celebratory dessert. Apparently fruitcake is called Christmas cake in England and Australia and the poor saps actually enjoy eating it.

Anyway, so the fried chicken tasted more like someone fried solid oil and I accidentally ate the foil thing at the end. The corn soup would have been good if someone hadn’t watered it down and added scallops. The broccoli salad was good. Whoever they bought the little cup cake from did a good job.
