I think I'm right in saying we used to eat a different meat (goose maybe?) until this Americanism migrated from Thanksgiving to christmas and then over the Atlantic? | |

not true. Historically turkey was eaten for Christmas in Europe from the 1550s or so (and in some parts even earlier as it was brought over from the Americas). Thanksgiving didn't exist in the US officially until Lincoln in the 19th century and unofficially since the 18th century. So there was turkey on the Christmas menu here for about 200 years or so before Thanksgiving was a thing. Of course, there have been many times where 'ordinary' people couldn't afford it and used to eat other types of birds (eg goose) or other meat instead. | | | |

Nope. We've been eating it since long before the USA even existed. From the diary of Samuel Pepys (aged 26) 1st January 1660: “…Dined at home in the garret, where my wife dressed the remains of a turkey, and in the doing of it she burned her hand.” 5th January 1660: “…I dined with Mr. Sheply, at my Lord’s lodgings, upon his turkey-pie. And so to my office again.” 6th January 1660: “…This morning Mr. Sheply and I did eat our breakfast at Mrs. Harper’s, (my brother John being with me) upon a cold turkey-pie and a goose.” 7th January 1660: “…and so we went home, and put in at my Lord’s lodgings, where we staid late, eating of part of his turkey-pie, and reading of Quarles’ Emblems. So home and to bed.” | |
