Having turkey on Thanks Giving Day too I suspect.
BTW. since this is the 'Did you know thread' and we have gone a bit off topic, did you know that The President of The United States ceremonially 'pardons' a turkey on Thanks Giving Day? The turkey is then given to a farm where it spends the rest of its days running around freely.
And I thought it was only us Brits that had traditions like that! Maundy Money etc.etc.
