Mostly because of the confusion of exotic places.Anyway, does anybody know why a tukey is called a turkey?
I expect that this caused a lot of problems during the Great War, having to declare war against your own national bird![]()
Nah, your stomach will explode before you eat enough tryptofan from turkey to make you sleepy. You get sleepy because of the amount of food, not what's in it.We all pass out on the couch from alcohol rather than tryptofan?

There's some suggestion the first Meleagris gallapavo reached England via the Ottoman Empire. One source said that maize was originally called Turkish wheat, for the same reason.
Rum was not produced in ancient New England.
I'm not american, but I think Thanskgiving food is a mix of amerindian food and european food, and amerindian and Pilgrims were not very fond of alcools...
