As the weather turns frigid, our thoughts tend to drift to indulgent foods that can provide a temporary balm to the outside world. There’s no end to restaurants offering special seasonal variations to tempt us, from gravy-oozing turkey lunch sandwiches to a plethora of sickly hot chocolates.
YO! (formally YO! Sushi) might not seem the obvious choice for anyone looking for a piping hot Christmassy pick-me-up. But its JFC seasonal bucket, available in both meat and plant-based options, is not only the best meal on its extensive menu but might also be my new favourite midwinter tradition.
In Japan, where Christmas day isn’t an official holiday and only around one per cent of the population is Christian, families still gather and celebrate but the traditional meal is slightly different - a bucket of KFC.
