kismet09KFC Christmas Chicken Dinners A Big Hit In Japan
Morning Edition, November 10, 2008 ยท Many Japanese like to celebrate Christmas, and they've given it their own twist. They mark the occasion with a chicken dinner. Kentucky Fried Chicken is now gearing up for one of its most lucrative months. The fast food chain sells a special holiday meal for about $5. For a more upscale holiday meal, one Tokyo department store is taking orders for capons flown in from France stuffed with black truffles, foie gras, white sausage and chestnuts. That'll cost you $850 dollars.

I agree that's a pretty wild price spread, though. And I heard the same report this morning. :)
