The History of...Turkey as the Thanksgiving meal


Listen Later

On this episode I talk about the history of...Turkey as the Thanksgiving meal and how it came to be.

I would like to thank the History website for the information on the topic of…What was eaten at the first Thanksgiving and turkeys were once worshiped like gods. For more information you can visit their website at www.history.com

I would also like to thank various other websites for the background on the fascinating facts about turkeys, why we eat turkey on thanksgiving and how other countries celebrate the holiday.

www.britannica.com

www.countryliving.com

And the webster’s dictionary for helping define the word “fowling”

On the history website, there are a few cool sub-reads such as:

  • What was life like aboard the Mayflower
  • The History of Pumpkin Pie
  • Thomas Jefferson’s complicated relationship with Thanksgiving
  • Quirky vintage photos of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924
  • Check those out if you are interested

    Thanks for tuning in today everyone and until our next journey through time, I challenge you with this …” experience a new perspective and learn something new”.
