Reprise! 030 Turkey - No Disasters - Just the Bird

from The History of American Food · host Margaret Hardin

I was almost done with this super cool look at wood and charcoal - and then my computer went down. I have to completely rewrite the 6 pages I already had - AHHHHH! Even the outline I wrote for myself went POOF!But enough doom and gloom. Instead of killing myself, I'm hitting the kitchen to make béchamel and lots of delicious other stuff. And you can revisit my Tour de Turkey.Plus a blast from the past of 1901.See you next week - back in my usual form.------Finally - the truth comes out. Why is this truly American bird called the name of a country it was never from? And is it true your Thanksgiving turkey came from… 16th century Mexico, and not New England… at all? And we’ll continue to follow the baffling saga of Colonists taking perfectly good domestic animals and letting them get feral.All this and more on this week's episode of The History of American Food!(*cue jaunty synth music from ‘80s evening magazine style show*)Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: [email protected] Twitter: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFoodMusic Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
