Let's Talk Turkey

Got Leftovers? I'm sure the Americans are now 'stuffed' and preparing the leftovers for the freezer, or making turkey sandwiches by now. Hope you all had a great, peaceful holiday!!

WILD TURKEYS

Native Americans enjoyed an abundance of turkeys for thousands of years before settlers arrived in the New World, although the natives generally avoided eating turkey (regarding it as "starvation food" - believing that turkey was fit to hunt only by children, women, and Europeans). The Indians valued turkeys more for their feathers and as spiritual symbols. If you'd like to view some of the photos I have shared in the past, on my personal blog, of the Annual King Ranch Cowboy Breakfast [where you get up a 5 a.m.] and head for the world renowned Texas Ranch to eat a breakfast of the cowboys and participate in roping, steering; ranch days of yore!!... then, follow these links PART I and PART II

..instead, some of you may have stuffed and roasted a chicken?!!!---

[I am not sure what it was doing there...perhaps straying from a nearby home to forage in the area?]

...but both of these feathered friends would like to hear your New Year's Resolution to go....VEGAN!!!!

I'm on a holiday break - hopefully, after we return to blogging, I can catch up with everyone. But the LINKING for the Bird D'Pot continues by a pre-scheduled post as I mentioned at the top of this blog.
