so, what is the origin of Canandian Thanksgiving? & how did turkey come to be your thanksgiving meal? curious...
happy thanksgiving AYE!
what my family does with the carcass is make a Chinese rice porridge called "jook" for days after. mix the bones (with some meat left on it) especially the main body, the drumsticks, etc. cook rice on the watery side, dump in the bones can add any veggies (we normally added salted turnips but I add anything I can find!). a bit of soy & black pepper makes a nice hearty lunch meal! hmmm! can't wait for ours!

The holiday originated in the US.
So how did the turkey become the main mascot of modern-day Thanksgiving if we don't know for certain that turkeys were at this first feast?
One story tells of how Queen Elizabeth of 16th century England was chowing down on roast goose during a harvest festival. When news was delivered to her that the Spanish Armada had sunk on it way to attack her beloved England, the queen was so pleased that she order a second goose to celebrate the great news. Thus, the goose became the favorite bird at harvest time in England. When the Pilgrims arrived in America from England, roasted turkey replaced roasted goose as the main cuisine because wild turkeys were more abundant and easier to find than geese.
