New Year is not only the time of light decorations, christmas
carols and fun, but also it is the time of many traditions. Such as decorating
a tree, playing the lottery and exchanging presents…Eating turkey in New Year
is also one of these traditions. So, what is the origin of this tradition?
Turkey was first introduced to Britain by William Strickland about
500 years ago.
People would eat turkey instead of their cows or chickens so that
their cows and chickens can continue to provide milk and eggs for them.
King Henry VIII was the first person to eat turkey in New Year but
it was popularized by Edward VII.
Eating turkey was seen as a luxury until 1950’s. Then it got more
popular and took its place in our dinner tables, after refrigerators became more common and turkey itself got
cheaper.
However, it is true that preparing turkey in New Year is hard
work. Don’t you want to get a fully prepared turkey for New Year dinner, rather
than spending the most entertaining time of the year by preparing turkey.
