The Thanksgiving Day is a party that is celebrated in USA every fourth Thursday of November and in Canada every second Monday of October.
The first Thanksgiving Day dates back to 1621 when, in the city of Plymounth, in Massachusetts, Pilgrim Fathers came together to thank God for the good harvest. The national party was proclaimed officially in 1863 at the hand of Abramo Lincoln, during the War of Secession.
In Europe everyone knows the tradition to stay at the table around the turkey to thank God, life, friends and family for what we have. The tradition requires that the dinner have to take place at home, never at the restaurant!
In conclusion, the origin of the “turkey” dates back to the Atzechi population, who have offered, as a gift, a lot of turkeys to spanish troops who have conquered the area. To the present day, it can be estimated a consumption of 45 million of turkeys that are served at the Thanksgiving table every year!
