I’m still looking for the one who can enjoy Christmas with me

[@jolu8320]

You can have Sirotan to keep you company 🥰

[@adventurousdaydreamer]

The chicken pot pie is sold in Kansai restaurants.

[@fearisaliar3]

U have me tho lol

[@doublej5171]

I find it hard believe you don’t have someone to enjoy Christmas with

[@hollydolly286]

George you will find someone soon, do not worry. You are handsome and funny. Just enjoy Christmas with your family and soon Mrs George will come find you x

[@TheFacelessStoryMaker]

I will just say it. George is an awesome host for the Japanese segments. Edit: I'm glad Joe shares my thoughts on Sierra Mist. I HATE it.

We need a 7-11 comparison. Spoiler: Japan is definitely winning that one

[@adamhernandez7914]

711 in taiwan is also WAYYYYY ahead of us 7-11, which is no better than a gas station hahA

[@starofdabloc]

Because no one wants or really expects food from a gas station-esque store over here. Normal over there definitely not over here.

[@katieeyer6572]

I do not think they have enough money to buy up the whole Japanese 711 to show everything they have there and not here.

[@goober_uno]

I’d say out of any place in the US Hawaii has it best when it comes to 7-11.

[@snausages43]

I would kill to be able to go to the local 7-11 and get some onigiri. I loved doing that in Japan.

[@HadenGregory]

Seeing George discover the ability in English to make puns out of "Chicken Breasts" in real time is something I'll never forget. 😂😂

[@fytrndm]

I need this, Christmas version. Not kidding, KFC is a huge thing in Japan during Christmas and I'm curious.

I heard that an American official made the Japanese officials believe that we ate KFC for Christmas too and when they found out it wasn’t true they were surprised. I guess the marketing stuck around

really love George’s expressions. Eating KFC, while watching both UK and Japan vs the US KFC videos. Love the extra crispy à la carte chicken pieces

[@dahliacross3584]

The pepper mayo twister is my favorite item at KFC and the one I almost exclusively eat. The tangy sauce with the lettuce, vegetables and crispy tender is just so good.

[@OtterThunder]

George telling food to "Go home" when he puts it back in the package is the best.

[@danilee8105]

I very much enjoyed that

[@ffkeixi]

I'm really enjoying George as the Japanese host.

[@rif9576]

Same! He is just so sunny

[@ffkeixi]

@Hermaeus Mora Right? He says Christmas for adults in Japan is a couple's holiday, and he needs someone to spend it with. Sir, respectfully, we are right here 🥺

[@tsubomi7462]

@Hermaeus Mora he mad cute 😳

[@afiahossain3414]

In the UAE, you can get KFC buckets for 9, 12, 15 and 21 pieces, which I think is wild. You can also get buckets that have a whole lotta chicken AND strips (for ex. A bucket containing 21 pieces of chicken and 14 pcs of chicken tenders with 2 family fries, coleslaw, 2.25 litre drink and bun)

[@bilinasmini3480]

[@amydraper488]

I love George’s facial expressions when he’s holding up each item

[@EZwhip]

only if your the Colonel

[@stillblazinkush]

Nowhere in the world is perfect but I love how Japan operates especially in these cases. Sometimes less food but still plenty for lesser cost and I feel like the quality may be higher due to chicken master requirements.

[@user-mm5zv4nm7b]

I do agree that the way Japan deals with food is quite amazing but other than that they suffer with matters of mental health and stuff along the lines of that

[@stillblazinkush]

@@user-mm5zv4nm7b yeah I've also heard their judicial system can be quite harsh. I can't tell you how bad it is in Japan for mental health issues and homelessness but it may very well just be a global problem in general.

[@rrf3f9x7a1g2]

@@user-mm5zv4nm7b mental health issues are everywhere in any advanced nation nowadays. Suicide rate per capita, for example, US is worth than Japan. Russia and South Korea the worst. It's rather magnified by the media since Japan has less social problems that are much serious the other countries have like drugs and shootings lol

[@asifkhan4822]

This really an interesting shake up to see another country versus the US for a new full season of Food Wars. Yeah Joe would be a perfect match for Colonel Sanders. Can see him having the moustache and pointy beard if he wore to grow it that way.

[@DinosourousRexx]

The biggest shock for me was that neither of you sliced the biscuit in half and put the honey on the inside.. 😳 I’ve never seen anyone put it on the outside and eat it whole like that before lol 😂

[@Paladin_UI]

I dont break it in half i just dip the outside

[@jakepuddicombe7768]

Omg, in New Zealand we had a peppered mayo twister and I got that in back in my early teens (around 2010 - 2011) and they had way more chicken, lettuce, peppered mayo, veggies in it back then. Especially the peppered mayo was more strong and there was more chicken, it was more filling. I miss it!!!

To add: I haven't bought one of those twister Wraps ever since. Last time I tried one was in 2014 and it was horrible.
