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.
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.
