Is Turkey the place serve Christmas?

Answer 1

For Centuries it was traditional for UK families to eat goose or the head of a boar. However this changed in the 16th Century when the turkey bird was introduced to England. Trader William Strickland imported six turkey birds into England in 1526 from the United States of America (USA) though some sources say Spain. He sold them for tuppence each in Bristol. They soon became so popular because of their new unique taste and their succulent flavour that more were imported and bred.

Answer 2

Christmas is a Christian religious day that happens in mid winter in the Northern hemisphere. The day "took over" from the pagan mid winter feast and Christian based countries make the day a national holiday.

Traditionally people ate a good meal on the day (originally goose) but with the domestication of American turkeys, the breeders began to market turkey as an alternative to goose and many people now eat turkey.

There is no religious significance attached to the food a Christian will eat at the Christmas feast.
