Mexican actress Salma Hayek has ditched traditional Christmas food turkey and agreed to eat oysters with her husband French businessman Francois-Henry Pinault.

The actress, who married the French billionaire earlier this year, was shocked to discover that her spouse feasts on oysters rather than turkey over the festive season in December. But she has agreed to sample his menu, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Eating oysters for Christmas is a weird thing I didn't know about. I had no idea that would be happening. I'm used to turkey. It's going to take some getting used to," said Hayek.
