Put on your favourite stretchy pants as we feast our eyes on Christmas foods from around the world.

Hi, I'm Kate and this is Anglophenia.

Now, if you've already seen our episode on how to have a British Christmas, which you should totally check out by the way, you'll know that most Brits usually enjoy a roast turkey served with Brussels sprouts, roasted veg, gravy, and either boiled, mashed, or roasted potatoes. Heck, we might even have all three during our lunch on Christmas Day.

This is often followed by Christmas pudding, which is set on fire before being served with brandy butter. Watch out, as there's often a lucky coin hidden somewhere in the middle, so chew carefully.

Mince pies are everywhere and are in fact filled with a mixture of dried fruit and nuts known as mincemeat, not actual meat as some people mistakenly believe.

Germany.

Roasted goose and red cabbage are the stars of Christmas dinner in Germany, but their most famous food is stollen. A sweet fruit cake often baked into a hump to symbolize camels who carried the three wise men and Jesus.

The Germans believe that if you do not dine well on Christmas Eve, you'll be haunted by demons. So there's really no excuse not to enjoy an extra slice of stollen or two.

Japan.

In Japan, nothing screams Christmas more than a bucket of KFC, and I'm not pulling your turkey leg. This is actually true.

As a result of an extremely successful marketing campaign by the finger licking fast food chain during the 70s, the Colonel convinced a nation, who traditionally didn't celebrate Christmas, that the festive bucket of fried chicken was the best way to celebrate on the day.

Even now, people in Japan will queue around the block to make sure that they have a Kentucky fried Christmas.

Italy.

In Italy, instead of roast meat, they favour fish, and celebrate by making the famous Feast of Seven Fishes, which usually features a plethora of different seafood dishes such as cod, clam linguini, and calamari.

The number of dishes served can vary from region to region, as can the type of fish. But no matter how many fish you eat or how they are served, they will all be enjoyed on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Day.

The US.

As many of you will know, Americans usually enjoy a good roast for Christmas lunch. Although owing to the fact that many have already gobbled up as much turkey as they can during Thanksgiving, they'll usually feast on ham or roast beef.

For dessert, it wouldn't be Christmas without a pumpkin or apple pie. Oh, and let's not forget the eggnog. Easily done though if you have one too many.
