Turkey wasn’t associated with Thanksgiving
Today, Thanksgiving celebration in the U.S. usually comes with a large meal, which almost always includes turkey, but turkey wasn’t even the centerpiece of the meal the Pilgrims and the Native Americans (Wampanoag) ate in the 1600s. Historians note that at the time of the First Thanksgiving, there were other fowls apart from turkey as well as corn and oysters. Today, it is estimated that between 85 and 91 percent of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving while others refer to Thanksgiving as ‘Turkey Day’. What’s more, presidents pardon turkeys in honor of Thanksgiving, and this dates back to the Truman Administration.
