We have a turkey that lives in our neighborhood. She’s actually become pretty normalized to people and she joins us for thanksgiving on our patio every year 😂 it’s become a tradition for her to go from house to house getting free bread and corn
I live in an area with an insane amount of turkeys. It is common to see flocks of 10, 20, or even 30 birds congregating together. That being said, the people I know who go turkey hunting seem to always have problems finding them.
@@dissaver I was surprised to learn how many turkeys live around Sacramento! There's a small flock of about 6 that lives in my neighborhood. 🦃 Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
Another Weird History Food Sunday! I had heard in my history class how Ben Franklin wanted the turkey as our state bird. It's awesome to hear more about how turkey is apart of our culture/holiday traditions. Would love to see more about the holidays, such as Christmas traditions around the world, holiday cookies, and/or gingerbread.❤
I love turkeys! We've had several of them as pets. They are kinda like having a feathered dog. They're super curious, social, and will follow their person around all over the place.
We had turkeys. They were the worst bird ever. Always following and trying to gobble over your conversation. And they chased kids. Will never have them again.
@@craigrobbins2463Ok to be clear. I don't often watch Weird History Food. As it rarely pops in my video feed. Soooo if your complaining because of a Information source from ONE RUclips CHANNEL I suggest you check yourself. Not everyone watching RUclips watches the exact SAME CHANNEL all the time. .so chill out. I'm willing to bet. You probably haven't watched any of my videos on my channel. And I'm not caring about that soooo.
I wasn't even going to cook this year because I just lost my dachshund on November 5th but when I found an 11 lb turkey for $5 I couldn't resist. Now I'm doing a full Thanksgiving spread
I come form a big family. We had turkey for Sunday dinner regularly. They are reasonably cheap, and with a big enough family there are no left overs. I loved my mom's roast turkeys.
@@brutalbasspro try tofu if you want something that looks like it and resembles it but you could eat anything that day why does it have to be a Birds corpse ?
@@TurkeyLivesMatter turkeys are delicious. Reason enough. I love eating them. I hate raising them. Worst bird ever to keep alive. It's like it wants you to kill and eat it for how annoying they are.
We had turkey 3 times a year, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Of course there was ham also. I remember the house would smell so good when my momma cooked. I really miss those days!!! 😊
1:25 Talking turkeys are a large part of Nick's Thanksgiving Fest (1989), a Nickelodeon Thanksgiving Special. That single special paved the way for Nicktoons.
Sweet video and cool info! I just don't like turkey, it's dry and plain. Me and the family still get together on turkey day and cook and watch Detroit Lions football 🏈 yeah! It's Ismail up in Pontiac, Michigan
"We"? As in your own family? I doubt most people eat ham on Easter. Unlike Thanksgiving and Christmas, Easter doesn't have a traditional list of foods that most people eat on that day or associate with that holiday. In other words, the Easter meal seems to have much more variation from place to place and family to family than the other holidays do.
@@MatthewTheWandererActually in the midwest it is pretty customary to have ham for Easter. Everybody I know has it, and the stores here have big sales and advertise "Easter Hams" as long as I can remember. It even goes as far back to my Great Grand Parents celebrating Easter with a ham. Im also almost 50 if that gives you any sort of timeline of how long its been a tradition and also like I said its a midwestern tradition so it could be just regional.
@@thomasrees7276 Hmmm, strange. I've lived in the Midwest before, and have still never heard of that. But, I've lived most of my life in Oklahoma, and I am originally from the Pacific Northwest.

Somewhere in America, a turkey grandfather is telling his turkey grandkids the tale of the old Thanksgiving tradition of the long "Death Marches" of their fore-turkeys... @9:00
In the small town of Lodi, California, a few years ago, there was a wild Turkey named Tom Kettleman who lived out in the shopping centers and on Kettlemen lane, people would give him food and take pictures. I’m not sure how the Turkey met it’s end, but there’s many paintings of that Turkey across town and many locals will remember him.
Considering how many extended family members were at our house on Thanksgiving, we needed the big birds. We had a tradition of switching Thanksgivings between my family and my Aunt and Uncle (4 hr road trip). I had 6 siblings and 6 cousins so the number started at 17.
Yay! So happy to hear my favorite Weird History narrator on this one. I'm sure that the female who does alot of the food videos is a great person, but I'm just not into her delivery style & voice. Honestly, I've begun to realize that the RUclips channels I enjoy the most, all have male narrators. So I guess I just like male voices better for some odd reason. 🤷♀️
The most plentiful and easy to kill game birds in the region at the time of the first thanksgiving were probably Ruffed Grouse. And while it would take a lot of them to feed the group, they are much easier to harvest than ducks or geese.
As usual, a entertaining and educational video. Here is eastern San Diego county we probably have a million or more wild turkeys. They are everywhere. Near the town of Julian I've encountered flocks of at least 200 turnkeys. They are used to people so they don't run or fly away unless you get really close. Unfortunately we also have wild pigs which are not native and are very destructive. A hunting license for wild pig in California is really cheap and you can hunt them 24x7, 365 days a year day or night. There is no limit on how many you can hunt. Not so for turkeys.
I'm up by Sac. Nearly all the feral hogs within a reasonable distance are on private land and are only accessible by guided hunts, which cost an arm and a leg.
This recalls "Thanksgiving", Loudon Wainwright's great song about the holiday: "On this auspicious occasion/This special family dinner/If I argue with a loved one, Lord/Please make me the winner".
Charlie Brown has a Thanksgiving one too. They cooked things like toast and popcorn and candy and pretzels because Peppermint Patti invited herself and other kids to Thanksgiving at CB’s house. It’s very cute.
I had heard the story of Ben Franklin and his "request" for the Turkey to be our nat'l bird, but I heard that it was in fact true...from a reliable source. Hmm... My favorite dishes are grn. bean cass. followed by candied yams... YUM!
Turkey 😋 🦃. Happy Thanksgiving everyone may you all be blessed 🙌 with family and friends and yummy 😋 foods. Thanks for the video 📹 you new things about History everyday. Maybe it was one of the pheasant birds. 😂😂😂 We should have a sea food day who agrees?? I love ❤ stuffing.
Yeah, I understand your frustration with the bird. I never liked them until recently. They have to be done just right. I recommend getting a meat thermometer and cooking it until it gets 10-20 degrees before the intended temperature and pulling it out so it raises to just the correct temperature on the counter. That way your bird is not dry. With that I do recommend injecting the turkey with seasoned butter or something. This will also add flavour and help the bird not be dry. Out of the top three turkeys I have ever had two of them were injected with seasoned butter. You can find injection kits at most grocery stores this time of year. So, the best one I have ever had was wet-brined, and injected then baked. It was on the verge of being to salty from the salt from the wet brine and the salt from the injection, but it wasn't. However it was ever so juicy. The second was injected and deep-fried. It was tasty, and juicy. The last one was a smoked turkey. I do not recall the moistness of this turkey, but the smoke added some very nice flavour. The turkey was also stuffed so the stuffing that was exposed was crisped and smokey and amazing.
We don't in Australia we roast chicken 🍗 1 or 2 depending on size but we eat seafood like prawn,bugs,Cray fish plus beef rolled rib roasts things like that (BBQ) many salads. And obviously good ham cooked in many ways. Basically cook heaps of all the foods U love to eat.
THIS IS OUTDATED: the 2013 documentary "free birds" has confirmed that 2 turkeys have gone back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkeys OFF THE MENU. THAT'S RIGHT! They went BACK IN TIME to the FIRST THANKSGIVING to get turkeys OFF THE MENU. ever since that day it has been tradition to eat pizza on thanksgiving night as opposed to turkey.
Every year when I hear that the native tribe brought 5 deer I think about some of my city dwelling non hunting friends and friends in certain state. A lot of them have what we call a really small deer. Here in South Western NY we have good size deer. It is not unusual for a field dressed deer to weigh in 100 lbs or more. Now , I don't know the size of the deer in the Plymouth Rock area but five deer will feed a lot of people. Include beer, duck, squirrel, pheasant, grouse, rabbit, fish, maybe even a gopher or two, (yes I have tried it, along with porcupine) They truly had a feast for those three days.
@@TurkeyLivesMatter my favorite veggie sandwich is from Jimmy John's. But during Thanksgiving you got to have the cold the leftover shredded turkey with mayo between two breads or it's not really Thanksgiving
I know there are some people who makes stuffing. That means putting it inside the turkey. And there are others who make dressing. That means cooking it in a separate pan. My family usually do dressing.
Interesting. 🦃 I opt for a vegan Tofurky roast stuffed with wild rice. But I do fondly recall the flavor... and my mother loves to get some of my brother-in-law's deep-fried bird.
I am a vegetarian and cook for my family, but Tofurkey? YUCK! This year it is a Waldorf with pomegranate molasses dressing and stuffed manicotti (incidentally, my family do not like turkey so they are getting a stuffed pork loin).
@@giraffesinc.2193 I hope you all enjoy your meals. My hubby will prepare and eat all the meats you can imagine. I'll braise some veggies and demolish the desserts.
This will be our 10th "Taco Thanksgiving" annual tradition. I will spend about 60 minutes browning meat, warming up a can of refried beans, cutting up some veggies and shredding cheese, then set it all out on the counter and let everyone build the taco of their dreams. If I feel especially thankful, I might throw some beans in the Instant Pot and make homemade frijoles refritos, but that's as stressful as it gets around here until the tequila starts running low. Good times!
@@neoasura It's not about turkey or no turkey. It's about giving up the 24 hour cooking marathon that leads to less than an hour at the dinner table then days of eating turkey and dressing until it gets put in the freezer and thrown out next June. It's been traded for having a good time instead. Tacos are fast, cheap, everybody I know likes them in one form or another, and there are no leftovers the next day if you do it just right.
My family ate chicken, ham, and beef on thanksgiving day. We didnt like turkey. We got a free Turkey one year and smoked it on the grill. That was the only time we liked it.
You should research what was on the menu in Virginia--the site of the country's first permanent English settlement--years before the johnny-come-latelys showed up in the frozen north.
0:45 That television looks VERY similar to the one we used to have when we lived in Midvale, out on the countryside. With the rabbit ear antenna, we were able to get three channels (total).
Because no one really dug Lobster and shell fish like clams and mussels back then but indians which probably was that area (first Thanksgivings) Mainstays. I'm sure they had some bird there (probably bald eagle 😂) and venison. Anyway, they ate and we can't eat lobster at much because we'd just run out on Thursday 😆 My father and me do like making a southern lobster roll on Thanksgiving though. Damn they're good 🤤
Lmao, about everything I covered that is accepted as possible truth or joked about at the start of this you covered. Guess it's pretty obvious and great minds think a like especially eating the bald eagle 😆
Having been raised as a poor, rural kid in Pennsylvania? I automatically thought of deer, pheasant, quail, and the possible, iconic big bird! We had whatever showed up near by. Not what was in an end case at the local grocery stores
We have a turkey that lives in our neighborhood. She’s actually become pretty normalized to people and she joins us for thanksgiving on our patio every year 😂 it’s become a tradition for her to go from house to house getting free bread and corn

You should research what was on the menu in Virginia--the site of the country's first permanent English settlement--years before the johnny-come-latelys showed up in the frozen north.
0:45 That television looks VERY similar to the one we used to have when we lived in Midvale, out on the countryside.
With the rabbit ear antenna, we were able to get three channels (total).
Yay the OG narrator is back
Because no one really dug Lobster and shell fish like clams and mussels back then but indians which probably was that area (first Thanksgivings) Mainstays. I'm sure they had some bird there (probably bald eagle 😂) and venison. Anyway, they ate and we can't eat lobster at much because we'd just run out on Thursday 😆 My father and me do like making a southern lobster roll on Thanksgiving though. Damn they're good 🤤
At speeds like that, turkeys should be nfl Running backs
Turkey should be a year round bird like chicken.
They should be flying & roaming free year round Not setting in misery in a factory farm whiting to die
I've worked in industrial food prep and therefore do not consume turkey.
Thank you
Holiday meats are the best meats! 🦃
Now you're speaking my language, and just in time for Thanksgiving Day. Poor Turkey 🦃.
Lmao, about everything I covered that is accepted as possible truth or joked about at the start of this you covered. Guess it's pretty obvious and great minds think a like especially eating the bald eagle 😆
Having been raised as a poor, rural kid in Pennsylvania? I automatically thought of deer, pheasant, quail, and the possible, iconic big bird! We had whatever showed up near by. Not what was in an end case at the local grocery stores
Favorite Thanksgiving dish? Ham, of course.
Why are you afraid to try tofu ?
