Why do you eat turkey on Thanksgiving? Why do you eat turkey on Thanksgiving?

The reason why turkey is eaten on Thanksgiving Day is because at the beginning of Thanksgiving, there was a shortage of materials at that time, but turkeys were everywhere, so in order to fill their stomachs, people made "roast turkey" on Thanksgiving, and it has been passed down to this day.

Turkey is the traditional main dish of Thanksgiving, usually the turkey belly is stuffed with various spices and mixed food, and then the whole chicken is roasted, the chicken skin is roasted to a dark brown, and the man uses a knife to cut it into thin slices and distribute it to everyone. Then each person pours the marinade and sprinkles it with salt, and the taste is very delicious. In addition, traditional Thanksgiving foods include sweet potato, maize, pumpkin pie, cranberry moss jam, home-baked bread, and a variety of vegetables and fruits.

Eating turkey on Thanksgiving carries the meaning of thanksgiving, which is an expression of gratitude to God. In order to thank the Indians for their help in surviving the land, the British roasted turkeys to express their gratitude and thank God for his gifts.

In order to express their heartfelt gratitude, the Indians invited the locals to drink for three days and three nights, which was very joyful. At the end of the day, they felt that such a day was worth remembering, so they decided to hold such an event on the fourth Thursday of November every year. Later, this holiday was slowly remembered, passed down, and evolved into today's Thanksgiving.

The same is true of the holiday to this day, and it is remembered every year until November 22 in the West, when they dress up to drink, and then eat the most delicious turkey.

Eating turkey on Thanksgiving is a way to express gratitude.

In 1620, a group of English Puritans went into exile in the United States, and the local Indians sent them turkeys and other food, as well as some daily necessities and production tools, and helped them build their new homes.

In gratitude to the local Indians for their help, the British entertained the Indians with the turkey they had hunted and celebrated with them for three days.

Since then, such celebrations have been held every year on the fourth Thursday of November. In 1941, the U.S. Congress officially designated the fourth Thursday of November as "Thanksgiving Day", and Thanksgiving Turkey became a custom.

There is a version that Queen Elizabeth of England was eating roast goose at a harvest festival one year in the 16th century. When news came that the Spanish Armada had sunk on its way to attack her beloved Britain, the queen was overjoyed and sent another goose to celebrate the victory. Therefore, geese have become a favorite bird during the harvest season in the United Kingdom.

When the Puritans came to America from England, roast turkey replaced roast goose as the main dish, as turkeys were more abundant on the North American continent and easier to find than geese. Therefore, in addition to ham, sweet potatoes, vegetables, raisin pudding, fruit cakes, cocktails, of course, turkey is indispensable in the Thanksgiving holiday dinner!
