2. Americans will make a turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas. This turkey is called Christmas Turkey at Christmas. The history of eating turkey can be traced back to 300 years ago, when the American continent still belonged to the local indigenous Indians. After Europeans landed on the American continent, they quickly occupied this land with leading technology.
At that time, the American continent was short of materials, but the American specialty turkey was everywhere. When in Rome, Europeans did as the Romans do and put turkey on the table as a staple food. Fortunately, the turkey tastes good, even better than the roast goose that is often eaten in Europe. This kind of food was brought back to Europe by Europeans and was welcomed by people. It became popular meat for a while.
After a long time, eating roast chicken becomes a habit. Americans are used to putting turkeys on festivals. Putting turkey on the table is a holiday, just as China cannot live without jiaozi for the New Year. This is the contrast of holiday atmosphere and the embodiment of holiday culture.
The American custom of eating turkey is to fill the turkey belly with all kinds of materials and bake it in the oven. After cooking, the whole turkey will be served, and then the roasted turkey will be cut with a knife and fork and enjoyed together. In other words, they ate the whole chicken. As for why not divide the table? This is probably the same reason that when we eat fish on New Year's Eve, the whole fish is served instead of fillets. It not only takes into account the beauty and visual richness of dishes. At the same time, it is also a symbol for the whole family to get together and enjoy a big meal.
