Where do you think Turkeys originate? (clue is in the name)

Turkeys are native to the Americas. They formed a part of the American Thanksgiving meal (which is bigger than their Christmas).

During WW2, there was a shortage of Goose (what British people tradtionally ate at Christmas). Some clever dick across the pond told us about Thanksgiving, so we imported lots of turkey from the USA and started to eat it at Christmas.

Now, everyone thinks eating turkey at Christmas is traditional. It isn't. Goose is a nicer tasting, more traditional bird that provides AWESOME crackling.

However, I'm happy eating a turkey all the same...
