KFC and All Fried Chicken

Jon Stewart fan asked:


I’ve been wondering for long time, but here in the states, if you tell the staff at KFC or deli section of the supermarket that you want a piece of chicken breast, they DO know what you want.
But in Japan, they have no clue what chicken ****** or thigh is.
Even the manager of KFC doesn’t know sometimes…

Why do you think they really don’t care about it??
I know they don’t use “white meat” “dark meat”.
Even if I say “むね肉ください” or “ももをください”, they get totally lost.
They understand drum stick(ドラムスティック), but that’s it.

And I’m Japanese, and I DO speak Japanese…
