Turkey is an indispensable food on American table, which is equivalent to our jiaozi in China. On Thanksgiving Day, a special holiday every year, American citizens will specially prepare turkey. So, turkey has different names in different countries? What are they called?

It is fun to translate turkeys into national languages. For example, turkeys are called Indian in Turkey, Peruvian chicken in India, and Greek chicken in the Middle East. Moreover, such names are endless, and every country has different understandings and names of turkey.

But in our big China, turkeys are called turkeys. But in East Africa, France and Greece, as well as Arabia, Netherlands and Malaysia, their names for turkeys include Indian chicken, French chicken, Roman chicken, Gargada chicken and Dutch chicken.

If you talk about the different names of turkeys around the world, I believe you can circle the earth several times. So why eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day? In fact, it originated from the harvest celebration in Europe. At the European dinner more than n years ago, the popular main course was roast goose, but later they knew that the turkey was more delicious than the goose, so they inherited this kind of food in a traditional way.

But a very interesting thing is the English name of turkey, which is actually a Turkish chicken. Because this kind of turkey was brought to Europe by Turkish businessmen, it got its name. But later, because the Spanish came to America, they found a kind of guinea fowl similar to poultry, which was very delicious, and brought this kind of poultry back to Europe. Since then, turkeys have appeared.
