Southern Italy — Feast of the Seven Fishes
Italians call it Festa dei sette pesci, and it’s a traditional dinner consisting of 7 different fish dishes. Eating seafood on Christmas comes from a long tradition of abstaining from eating meat on the eve of a feast day.
#11 Tamales are wrapped in corn husks, not banana leaves.
KFC is a VERY popular Christmas food in Japan.
Oliebollen in The Netherlands are basically just for the new year event and served with powdered sugar. Not icing.
Speculaas is just as popular in The Netherlands and mainly meant for December 5th, Sinterklaas. Basically our Santa Claus. (And partly what Santa Claus was created from)
And lastly, really, Canada? Brussels sprouts as a snack? I thought you were cool...
