Did you Know ~ Thanksgiving Turkey


Roasted goose was indeed the favoured bird for celebrations in 16th century England, however when the pilgrims arrived in America from England wild turkeys were of more abundance in the land. Since they were easier to find than geese they soon became the official thanksgiving mascot even though the pilgrims and Indians celebrated the 1st thanksgiving with goose and other types of birds.
