We recently read an excellent article detailing how American exported Japanese fast food has changed over the last 30 years.
Some of the highlights include:
- McDonald's has never offered ketchup in Japan and instead serves them with your choice of toppings including nori (seaweed), curry, barbecue and Mexican sauces.
- Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) offers 'yaki musubi' .. Grilled riceballs instead of biscuits and is one the leading seller of tira misu (Italian desert).
There is also some interesting discussion of the secular nature of Christmas in Japan and the role of KFC in it's celebration. Definitely worth a read.

I would love the curry sauce on french fries, but I gagged at just the thought of Nori fries. *shudder* Eew.
I'll eat the nori fries if Jenn won't eat them!
